They made it crap a long time ago. The app takes forever to connect and view the camera. Really feels like abandonware, except for the ads to push you to buy more of their cameras or subscribe to their service. I've just cancelled my subscription. Moved to Tapo cameras, where the app connects nearly instantly... for now.

Audiobookshelf also finds, manages, streams podcasts. After Google killed off Google Podcasts, ABS has been an even better replacement in my experience.

Try the ready made options at https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/ , and if your sites aren't listed, you can use the "CSS Selector Bridge" option there.

If it helps, Adguard Home has individual settings of 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d for logs and stats.

Thanks, I'll bear this solution in mind if my printer outlives the driver support.

If you're a light user, best to have a much stronger preference for laser printer. Inkjets use up that expensive ink to clean the nozzles between uses if you're lucky, and will fully clog if you're unlucky (I was unlucky twice and never again). I'm a light user and a laser printer can go for ages between printing.

If it's got copying, it'll have a scanner anyway.

I've got an HP that has served me well and my HP cartridges have lasted ages - not because they're great or cheap, but because I print so little. At the time, I choose HP because it was more compact. Next time, I'll definitely lean towards Brother laser on principle.

Also, on the "standard with ads" tier, they've removed the ability to chromecast.

"I'd like a subscription to Skillshare (Skillshare!), a subscription to Skillshare is what I need..."

I asked about a plot point that I didn't understand in a TV series old enough to be in an LLM's knowledge. Chatgpt and Perplexity both said they couldn't find any discussions or explanations online for my particular question.

Bard/Gemini gave several explanations, all of them featuring characters, locations, and situations from the show, but confidently bullshit and definitely impossible in the story's world.

Yep, same here. Whereas ChatGPT and Perplexity would tell me it didn't know the answer to my question, Bard/Gemini would confidently hallucinate some bullshit.

Yes, I should've added - whether the write speed matters depends on your own use case.

For my SMR drive, it's taking roughly 2GB of backup files every few hours, in the background, and there's plenty of empty space on the drive. In my case, it doesn't matter at all.

However, if you're sat at your computer, frequently transferring large files while the drive is at least half full, and you have to wait for completion... Then it'll matter.

From the article:

UPDATE 5/17, 6 PM: Western Digital has confirmed that the new 2.5-inch T GB HDDs uses 6 SMR platters

SMR = shingled magnetic recording https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingled_magnetic_recording - "continuous writing of large amount of data is noticeably slower than with CMR drives"
