A miserable pile of secrets

Now to be fair, the Switch was a fancy cellphone, but worse

Sounds like maybe you ran it as a container and didn't mount the document archive externally then updated the container. That would have likely blown away the actual ingested documents but left the Metadata (including the OCR data) where it was, assuming the database was either its own container or mounted externally

Hopefully someone here knows what I'm talking about and I didn't just make the whole thing up as part of a fever dream.

I recall reading a book several years ago where one of the main plot points was that there was some kind of AI watching and recording humanity across the galaxy, but had been doing it for so much longer than designed that it was starting to break down or run out of storage space or something of that nature. It influenced some guy to head out and start looking for it to help or fix it. I don't remember much else, and all of the search engines just spam me with garbage sponsored AI bait, so I'm hoping someone here might recognize the broad strokes and be able to point me in the right direction.

Lol. The wife wanted something decorative and liked how it looked. Caveat Emptor, and all that I suppose. I knew I was buying from a less-than-quality source

I know this is a meme /c, but for real, I bought this exact same product a while back. If this is your photo, just be careful about what you put on it. Mine lasted 2 months with a grape vine on it before it collapsed.

I've never before been so glad to read about someone else's misfortune. Mine have been doing this for MONTHS and I thought it was just me imagining things

That's just their idle animation. Supposedly, if they desync, it's like a yo-yo until they catch back up

Much development is being done at public research universities leveraging government grants. Most of what these companies pay for is packaging, marketing, and distribution

I generally go back to the nostalgia-filled retro titles from the nes-psx eras or for a more modern experience I'll lean into Mark of the Ninja, Guacamelee, or FTL. I've also put an embarrassing number of hours into the new Tomb Raider trilogy and Breath of the Wild. BotW counts as vintage these days, right?

I feel like this is legitimately more true than a lot of people think. Say what you want about the average end user, but UX is a HUGE driver with regard to adoption and user uptake. You can have the best of everything else in your application, but if the UX sucks, folks just aren't going to use it

Yo, please tag this NSFW.... we didn't come here to see this kind of smut

Be careful with the Intel laptop chips and make sure you understand what you're getting. My work laptop has an i7 with 12 "cores" but it's 10 of the low powered e-cores and 2 of the hyperthreaded p- cores, so for heavy applications (like compiling) it's a glorified dual core i3.
