Someone in Hull told me that they had a door-to-door salesman selling “smirk alarms”.

if an organization is following the latest NIST guidance, you’re not changing your password on a regular cadence anymore.
Lol.

I have a pen for a tablet PC that uses AAAA.
- Comment on Turn on sound. Recorded by nan's doorbell. Not AI. 2 weeks ago:
You should join Facebook. I looked at ONE video of a cat firing an automatic weapon on a doorstep, and for the next month my feed was full of doorbell recordings of animals with weapons.

This is a Shell station. Michelin would be for the tires.

True. Part of me still wants a Nokia N90 just because it hinted at so much functionality when I first saw it.
- Comment on No it won’t 3 weeks ago:
I have seen AI gadgets in clickbait ads.
Cool-looking cubes with lots of controls and stuff, but with meaningless symbols and “words” for labels.
It reminds me how influenced I am by advertising, that I kind of want something that doesn’t exist or have a purpose, just because it looks gadgety.

4th column top one is hover-cat, maybe?
- Comment on Asking the difficult questions 3 weeks ago:
I once heard that laser pointers are bad for cats’ mental health: the tantalizing red dot that they just cannot catch.
Best to let them see the dot “run away and escape” if they do chase one.
- Comment on Bring bathroom doors back to hotels 4 weeks ago:
Where is this found? I’ve stayed in maybe 10 hotels in California this year plus plenty in previous years (and a few in other states) and never seen this.
Is it maybe a thing in small rooms (I travel with family so never book anything with less than two beds).

Two em-dashes and emojis. I’m just sayin.
- Comment on Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs 2 months ago:
I found a setting to switch the key functions, but it still doesn’t help with the other differences. I just have to learn to mentally change gears when using a Mac.
Moving the cursor by words, for example, is ctrl-cursor on PC, but option-cursor on Mac. So switching Ctrl/Fn doesn’t help with that.
Not to mention tapping on the screen to select something does not go well on the Mac…

The immediate regret will be when they discover that Ctrl isn’t where they expect it to be, followed by the discovery that it doesn’t get used for copy and paste anyway.

+R.
If you’d asked me, I’d have said that I always bought -R, but I guess I was different person back then.
- Comment on "I used to be with it" 2 months ago:
I made some DVDs for someone recently. First I had to dig out my old laptop that has a drive. Then install authoring and burning software.
All the help forum posts that I found were at least 15 years old, I’m amazed that any of the recommended software still existed.

I’m sorry if I offend, but… Is this the output of an LLM?
While it doesn’t have many of the tells, the overall tone and structure of it plus the “polished” feel give me that AI vibe.
