How?

No, you don't. And you probably also use a ton more power than a streaming box too.

And of course it doesn't even work on Xbox.

Oh, this is probably related to why I cannot resize "live caption" windows at all on the latest version of MacOS. They have been mucking around with resizing and not testing it well.

Goldeneye on N64 had some really cool hidden modes that could only be turned on with Game Genie. I don't recall which ones exactly required the Game Genie, but I'm pretty sure there was one that made everyone invisible until their first death in multiplayer. That was a lot of fun.

I'm just responding to what you said:

> Surprisingly no mention of AI in an article about mass layoffs at a tech company.

Sorry if I misunderstood.

The first sentence of the article is:

> Microsoft Corp. began job cuts that will impact about 9,000 workers, its second major wave of layoffs this year as it seeks to control costs while ramping up on artificial intelligence spending.

And AI is a bullet point in the "Takeaways, powered by Bloomberg AI" section as well.

Same. My neighbors have it and apparently I am never getting it.

I am on Sequoia 15.3. If I can do anything to help, let me know.

It's not clear to me how to actually get the required plist file to make this library work. Neither of the scripts in this issue seem to work: https://github.com/malmeloo/FindMy.py/issues/31

Is the syntax to run them just `swift <filename.swift>`?

Swift/ErrorType.swift:253: Fatal error: Error raised at top level: main.MyError.noPassword

I have setup a raspberry PI dashboard before and run into these exact issues. They are not defensive or pre-emptive. An e-reader will probably not have the same issues, just sharing my experience.

* Browser runs out of memory or has other issue and stops refreshing.

* Wifi connection drops and browser displays an error page and stops executing your refreshes. The power-saving options on the RPIs wifi caused me quite a bit of grief before I disabled them.

* Raspberry Pi crashes with kernel errors due to cheap SD card, underpowered USB power supply, or something else.

I ran into these issues one by one over a few months and fixed each one as I ran into it. What I ended up with was:

* Browser set to run at OS startup displaying my page.

* That page having a meta refresh tag, and javascript code to reload the page periodically.

* A browser extension to automatically reload the page as well if both of those failed.

* A watchdog daemon that detects when the RPI has frozen and reboots it.

* A cron job that reboots periodically.

With all of those my dashboard would run for months without any issues or interruptions. Just sharing so others can be aware of potential issues.

Yep, exactly r:refreshing failing. If you are using a full featured browser you can also use a browser extension that forces the refresh.

Additionally for a raspberry pi, you can use a watchdog timer service that checks to see if the rpi has frozen, and reboots it.

Having done this, you will also most likely want to setup a javascript timer that also triggers a refresh in case the meta refresh fails. And a weekly reboot of the machine in case there is a memory leak or some other issue.

They also refuse to do installs in new builds in many neighborhoods. I have lived sandwiched between two addresses that have Google Fiber, and they have refused to come out to install the last 25 feet of cable to my house for 5 years. So I'm paying $100/mo for crappy Spectrum internet that goes down all the time.

I've reached out to them several times to come out or do a survey, or run the existing fiber through already existing conduit and they just refuse.
