Heck just skip the website and ask the AI to make some text for you to read

"It just works" was practically a mantra for Steve Jobs, now we turn around and blame users for thinking that it will work


For #2, OWC puts a screw hole above their dock's thunderbolt ports so that you can attach a stabilizer around the cord

It's a poor imitation of old ports that had screws on the cables, but should help reduce inadvertent port stress.

The screw only works with limited devices (ie not the Mac Studio end of the cord) but it can also be adhesive mounted.

That screw hole is just the regular locking USB-C variant, is it not?

See for example:

Looks like it! Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea it was a standard.

Apparently since 2016 https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/usb_type-c...

So for any permanent Thunderbolt GPU setups, they should really be using this type of cable


Note that the locking connector OWC uses is a standard, not the standard. This is USB we're dealing with, so they made it messy: the spec defines two different mutually-incompatible locking mechanisms.

Of course they do.

Now that’s one way to enforce not inserting a USB upside-down.

A few days ago I was trying to see if a anything new had taken over a vacant restaurant space yet, previous occupant had closed in July.

When I zoomed in, it would still only show me the Permanently Closed business listing for the old restaurant.

Searching by address, they do have a listing for its replacement. But they were prioritizing the dead restaurant on the map because why would I want to know current info from a map when they can be useless instead?

And it's not like this is a restaurant in the first floor of a tower with a bunch of businesses stacked on top of it competing for map space. It's a single floor, there's only one occupant.


The crappy apps that replaced parking meters are the people who disrupted the existing market with tech

The App Store is the walled garden that doesn't allow anyone else to ship a browser engine, except in certain markets where they have been forced by law to create a "Web Browser Engine Entitlement" that non-WebKit browsers can use with super special permission from Apple.

And so many strings attached that they don't really do so in practice :(

LLM "hallucination" is a pretty bullshit term to begin with

Have you looked into burrito parachutes?

On the plus side, that one's easy to avoid by using literally any other mouse

My favorite is when it bounces back and forth between the same two wrong answers, each time admitting that the most recent answer is wrong and going back to the previous wrong answer.

Doesn't matter if you tell it "that's not correct and neither is ____ so don't try that instead," it likes those two answers and it's going to keep using them.


Ha! Just experienced this. It was very frustrating.

They really need to add a "punish the LLM" button.

Some services have the down thumb

I need something stronger than that.

The false info baked into its context at that point in the conversation and it will get stuck in a local minima trying to generate a response to the given context.
