Just gonna have to swipe right and find out.

If you do, post it!

He could just be on vacation? Someone just pointed out earlier today he hasn’t posted in 2 weeks.

No clue, but it very easily could have come from the one I grew up in.

The_Picard_Maneuver is MIA, so I dove into my ~2014 era meme folder and am posting some golden oldies

I still call it trashy.

I think I’m just gonna get some Pi Zeros + cameras and just roll my own. Probably use the NoIR versions and some cheap IR illuminators. Feed those into Zoneminder.

Bonus points if I can find some old CCTV cameras, gut them, and fit the pi camera to those optics.

That’s a real hero move, and I appreciate it.

Commenting so I can remember to check back for any suggestions. I’ve basically run into this problem:

It’s okay. I"m just training AI.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you 😆 Also well played.

Read half the title and immediately tabbed to Wikipedia to make sure “is” wasn’t “was”.

I loved the simplicity of it. It did one thing, and did it well enough.

They had an early mobile app (BREW I think), but it was pretty awful.

I think SMS gaining popularity killed it, and they were too early for the “What’s App” era that ultimately killed SMS in a lot of places.

Maybe just that model? I’ve got an X1 carbon. It expects 45W and will run from anything that spits out 20V. Even hooked it into a 20W power bank. It complained that the supply was below expectations and that the battery might not charge but it worked.

Is this picture…what? AI generated? Not that I’m aware of. I just searched for a stock photo of an old lady knitting and this was one of the results. Just grabbed it and added the text.

This is the way lol.

and didn’t even answer their question

TBF, that’s like half the email replies I get when I ask a basic question.

If a coworker doesn’t bother to write the email, I’m not going to bother reading it lol.

It is managed, but I can disable smart features and remove it as an app. But it still pops up constantly (basically like an ad). If you try to do anything from the pop-up, it tells you it needs to be enabled to work. So, it knows it’s disabled but still shoves itself in my face as if I accidentally clicked into 4 different deep settings pages to disable it lol.

I can and do use FF, but I use Chrome for Workspace because … stupid company policy reasons. It works in FF, but the way they have SSO configured, you get logged out every 45 minutes.

Google Workspace (what the company I work for uses for collaboration).

1. I don’t want Gemini/AI. At all.
2. If you disable it, it still pops up constantly.

I know, right? Ballmer was batshit crazy but at least you could squint your eyes and his decisions kind-of made sense (e.g. Windows 8 was a turd, but you could at least see what he was trying to do). Nadella has just shoved in cloud and now AI bullshit since he took over, and no thanks.

Help is on the way. An ambulance will be at your location shortly.
