I have an original reMarkable (not the 2) and whilst it’s a but slow for big fancy scanned PDFs it is generally pretty good for what I want. It does also run linux so you can ssh into it and do everything locally away from their cloud services which is nice

“Later this year, the government’s generative AI chatbot – GOV.UK Chat – will be added for everyone to use”

Can it not? 🙄

Macintosh Pus actually. At least I hope it’s a Plus. If they gutted a 128k or 512k that would be sad.

I go and look up the place I am searching for on Google Maps, see if it has a direct website / ordering system and always prioritise going direct if I can. Many now do, and by and large they have lower fees / lower minimum values since they don’t pay such a high premium for the platform.

In the UK we have “JRC Global Buffet” which is almost exactly what you describe. It’s…not great. I went because, like you, some friends were particularly enamoured with the place for some reason.

I wasn’t a fan.

I’ve been using this for a while now and the only thing I’ll say is that a lot of videos don’t have alternative titles, so since it’s all crowd sourced I feel that the best solution is to have more people using it.

Brilliant idea regardless.

I had one of those “fancy” Vodafone routers included with my broadband which had a stupid rule set on choosing the WiFi password. It’s my network, not yours, stupid router. It can be as insecure as I want.

Anyway the rules were enforced by the JavaScript so it was easy to bypass until I got my own router to replace it with.

Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was only manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.

The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

The Mayonnaise is probably still down there, we just need to convince a submarine of billionaires to go and collect it.

Did you give your number to anyone you’ve met recently? I certainly know a few people who would flirt like this 😅

I hope they’re still Zigbee devices. No info I can find at the moment but I quite like that I can use Trådfri stuff with Zigbee2mqtt and I’d love to add more functionality

I’m sure they didn’t think the leopards would eat their face…
