It's weird how well making it roleplay works. A lot of the "breaks" of the system have been just by telling it to act in a different way, and the newest, best versions have various experts simulated that combine to give the best answer.

No, you don't need to train it, it's just about the prompt you feed it. You can (and should) add quite a lot of instructions and context to your questions (prompts) to get the best out of it.

"Prompt engineer" is a job/skill for this reason.

That would be good - I often want to see what an unfamiliar instance is about by checking out their homepage sidebar and local communities and currently it's several clicks and involves going directly to the site, effectively logging me out. At least the new versions have the new feature that sends you back to your home instance to subscribe.

The only plus is that sometimes the remote instance has interesting styles or other customisations that I wouldn't see unless i visited properly.

I'm confused since Firefox Sync has been letting you sync/backup your passwords, bookmarks and history for a decade or two at this point, and you can even self-host the sync server.

I don't know the complete FF password manager details (Bitwarden user here) but where does Firefox fall short for you?

The title is "Nose wheel falls off Boeing 757 airliner waiting for takeoff" and that's exactly what happened. That's not clickbait, since it's not deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading. It's just news.

I missed the "90 weeks" bit - you made it sound like it was coming soon, you cheeky scamp.

Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date.

Huh, there's a lot of us calling software "beasts" in this thread.

It's a very different kind of beast, but I'm very much enjoying it so far. Linking things is definitely Joplin's weak point whereas this is a core strength for logseq.

I often used bullet points in my Joplin notes, so having that as the default works for me too. However, since Op has said they want plain text notes Obsidian seems like a better fit (although logseq does save pages as text it's not what it feels like in use).

You could be right, because of this bit:

FOAM3R filter technology, patented by the University

HEPA is patent-free so can be extremely cheap.

On the other hand, the fact that it can filter out VOCs without needing a separate carbon filter is good and if it reduces maintenance some companies could find them worthwhile.

This is very good advice. I've made a couple - far from beautiful or quiet, but very effective and very cheap.

I wonder what they found.

Apple reverse engineered a file format, Beeper reverse engineered a protocol.

Microsoft made several changes to try to keep Apple out, Apple's also made several changes to keep Beeper out, except now everyone's online so it's happening way faster.

It's not exactly the same kind of reverse engineering, but I never said it was. I think you've got a very narrow definition of reverse engineering in your head and you're quibbling over me using it more broadly than you would.
