What’s your point?

One place to look is 80000hours.org.

I don’t keep a browser history at all, but my most recent visit was to:

• Vehicle registration plates of Western Australia

Or my favourite passive aggressive attempt by Admiral’s anti-ad-blocking “technology”:

“Continue without supporting”

My only experience with this is that if the engine is over 50cc it’s no longer a moped and requires a motorcycle licence.

Have you considered an electric bike or scooter?

As for winter, I’ve cycled for a decade through Dutch winters and the only investment I required was a proper raincoat and pants to keep dry. More often than not I didn’t need any winter coat underneath it if I was wearing a jumper, but that was me as a teenager cycling. Not sure if that applies on an motorised bike.

It is an easy upgrade.

Boot from a Linux installer and the upgrade is seamless. I upgraded from Windows NT to Debian 25 years ago. Best decision ever.

There’s a whole range of cli tools to extract and query structured data like that, but you might consider loading it into something like sqlite3 and treating it as a database because those formats are really not intended for queries, they’re designed for sharing data.

For some workloads it’s true that you can do the heavy lifting on a more powerful remote machine and transport the results back to an endpoint device like a phone. Websites are a good relatable example of that, as are services like YouTube.

It’s not universally applicable for many activities that computers are involved with, data analysis, record keeping, simulations and a myriad of other processes.

Blurring of the lines between these different orders of magnitude is made possible by faster and faster networks, but that’s physically not able to beat processing done inside a single device.

The more powerful we make computers, the more complex problems we use them for. I suspect that this is unlikely to change as computers evolve.

One of the fundamental differences between phones, laptops, desktops, and beyond is size. While that sounds obvious, it also means that the amount of processing within the device is constrained by that size.

The constraints relate to how much energy can be used by each device and more importantly, how much cooling is available for the system.

It means that there’s a physical limit on how much work each device can do without being unusable.

While miniaturization is a factor, it’s not linear and you can only get so small before you fail.

So, depending on what you want to do in any given time, the device you use will dictate what’s physically possible.

This is a lesson that the religious fundamentalists currently running the USA have weaponised.

A search engine?

There is a lot of hype in this article and precious little in the way of verifiable facts.

Does anyone have any links to something more credible?

I work in ICT. Leaving Gmail is much easier said than done. It has the best spam filtering bar none and integrates with a whole host of other services that I use daily, like the mobile phone I’m writing this on for example, the one that integrates my calendar, tasks, contacts, photos, websites, YouTube channel, spreadsheets and, oh yeah … that other thing … Gmail.

So, if wishing made it so.

What I’d like is a Google Workspace tier that is entirely without AI.

Orca Slicer is open source and as far as I know a fork of Prusa Slicer. I suspect that you can compile from source with whichever version of OpenGL you want … if any.

Disclaimer: I’ve only just started looking at it for a different use-case, but it seems like it will do what I’m suggesting.

And Olijfje for Popeye’s girlfriend…

And Olijfgroen for the colour.

Yes

For anyone wondering like I did, that image is not what the headline suggests:

archive.org IS still there. You can browse like it’s 1999 or 2007, whatever you want, some as far back as 1995, that’s its purpose.

An alternative is to age the browser and see what one from the era renders. I’d strongly recommend that you do so inside a secure environment.

Hmm … I confess that I really appreciate and enjoy the company of the neighbours all around me … although there is one … let me work on that …
