I’m on a train in the uk. To make things even worse, they’re handing out DfT survey QR codes. I decided to pass the time by filling it in. It’s by ‘Savanta Research’ and they’ve clearly never travelled by train. If you don’t get all the way to the end of a 15+ step form without submitting, you lose everything when you go through a tunnel and momentarily lose connectivity. It couldn’t be designed to be worse for filling in on the go.

Another fabulous bit of UX by google.

Not sure what he’s up to. Any ideas?

Who exactly is encouraging webp usage? Oh right...

I’ve been running Arch (vanilla) on a dell laptop for more than a year now, and really happy with it. I also just installed Omarchy on an ancient machine both to try to give it a bit more life and try out a tiling window manager.

I’m now planning to move my main desktop machine over from windows 10, but it has a 1070ti graphics card—which I’m quite happy with as I don’t game at all, and only occasionally run small local LLM models for messing around. I don’t need a newer card, but of course, Nvidia…

So, would I be better off replacing it now with AMD or something else, or just using the older drivers? Will the 580xx- driver still give me a few years before I need to worry.?

I will miss RTX Voice, but happy to give noisettorch a go.

Can't add my wife as an additional cardholder on my credit card, because she once used her phone number on a Barclays account of her own.

I’m replacing a trivial pcb in a battery pack for a small fan. It’s 6V (4xAA) with a SPST top left and a USB socket top right. But why on earth would the power line on the pcb follow that curved path? There are no other components, just the 2 ends of the battery pack and a plastic housing.

Maybe just ‘because you can’?
