Santa Clarita Diet :( so annoying they keep suggesting it, when its a half baked show with no end.

You're supposed to be capturing, not guarding.

Try a beginner CTF like huntress CTF. It will start slow, with basic skills, and slowly build them up.

Ha, did it fix your crashes? How much was it? Its usually not too hard to clean, see if there is a YouTube teardown for your laptop.

I'll bet the hypervisor for that VM is notepad based /j

I'm pretty sure notepad.exe is actually below the kernel. Its load bearing.

I'm lucky, so far no AI slop PRs yet, so I'm in a different boat. I'm happy to keep my little thing going and hope that it slowly dies away with no further attention.

emphasises human understanding and ownership as mandatory components of contribution.

That really the best you can hope for, although I dunno how you can force ownership. Its not easy to hunt down the original developer if there is a bug in their code.

Unfortunately, the headunit for my Mazda 2 is a custom moulded thing, not a standard size. Extra annoying as I have a half broken one which I got a refund for, and now I don't know what to do with it :(

I'm curious to know what the quality rate was like before AI. Anecdotally, my marginally popular repo got a few PRs, but many of them were pretty much garbage as well. No tests, broken tests, half baked code. Human written didnt mean good

Damn. I like Mazda's, didnt know they were still doing that shit. My friends 2014 Mazda 3 had a built in GPS system, and then paid extra for Android Auto. It was common then, didnt know it was still a thing now. He somewhat regrets not getting the upgrade.

Its also pretty inexpensive to build a headunit with android auto, I upgraded my 2012 Mazda 2 with a Chinese headunit for $200 AUD, and I'm sure Mazda could do it even cheaper at scale.

Thats seems fine, but I'm no expert on smart, I would do a clean out. Cat hair is the worst.

Seems young for the SSD to die, but next time its on, check the disk health.

And if it tends to get hot, definitely look into cleaning the vents and fans.
