I currently have like 300 tabs open across 4 machines (two computers, a tablet and a phone). Some have been open for 2 or 3 years :)

Closing tabs open for too long would definitely a good idea. Then there are tabs that are open for years and years (like my nextcloud tab) and it's as it should be...

That's basically how convolution reverb has worked for 25 years.

Which is almost good, unfortunately, mostly because of terrible software.

From French media, it appears that more than 270 supermarkets lost most of their frozen and refrigerated goods. The losses appear to be in the range of 50,000 to 150,000 euros per supermarket.

If you're charging at home, that's not a problem. It still takes less time (20 seconds a day) than going to the pump once a month for 15 minutes.

There are industrial machines such as steam hammers that have been in constant use for more than a century.

Ah, it's flying Paris to Bogota in a 1 aisle, 4 seats per rank regional plane, pretty unusual if you ask me :)

I'm pretty baffled by people I hear here and there saying that AI is great because it saves them the hassle of human interaction. "I love Waymo, I don't have to chit-chat with the driver and bear his horrible music". Apparently people didn't get the memo : humans are social animals. Autonomous individuals simply don't exist. Nothing is entirely yours...

And AI precisely builds upon that large availability of our common data. That's a modern enclosure movement, at least it would be but fortunately, the Communist Chinese are there to enforce sharing.

Lots of things to think about in there. One of them : science (and technology) isn't neutral.

England is definitely a European country. I'm tired of people constantly making this political abuse of language of conflating "the EU" with "Europe".

(And yes, saying "America" for "US of A" annoys me too. First step towards losing an imperialist state of mind is letting people from Canada and Brazil be in America).

OTOH my OnePlus 5T is more than 9 year old now, and still perfectly usable (I changed the battery once).

Ah ah I'm also a NEdit fan. Still using XNEdit at times (the version that supports UTF-8, https://github.com/unixwork/xnedit ), because I've written so many small tools in its weird built-in language.

For several years I've even hosted the nedit.org website :)
