I'm hesitant asking my parents for advice because it will be grounded in their... *clears throat* outdated worldview.

I'm surprised these don't use those solid state batteries that were in the news like a year ago.

Today my lecturer, whose English is very bad, pronounced "c" in "artificial" as a "k" and it sounded like "arti-fecal". And I thought Lemmy would love the term "artifecal intelligence".

The proper response is:

For music something like Navidrome is much better, IMO. But you could easily host it in addition to the former two, not instead.

Oh, and you can combine the subscription to Tidal with yar har by umm... permanently caching the songs offline by means of 3rd party tools. It might seem pointless at first glance, but having the music stored on your server ensures you'll keep having it, while you still can spontaneously explore new stuff on Tidal.

Is it weird that I can tell this is a Xiaomi store?

But if they don't have it, how can it be safe "with them"?

I love how unhinged that show is.

I don't think users actually write those. You just pick the amount of stars and the term is hardcoded for the amount. It most likely is just a translation mishap.

True, that totally happens to me all the time, too. For example, yesterday it was repeatedly insisting that there's a certain checkbox in qbittorrent settings, which wasn't there. I gave it the screenshot of the setting page and it "realized" it's named differently. So in the end, it helped me with something that I couldn't google properly. It's a supplementary tool for me.

Happened to me yesterday. I have an old 4K TV, every component I used to connect to it had HDMI 2.0+ capabilities. Neither laptop nor Steam Deck would output 4K60, only 4K30. Tried getting another cable and a hub, same result. And I know that my Chromecast outputs 4K60 to this TV, so I was extra confused. In my desperation, asked GPT-5 what was I missing, and it plainly told me that those old Samsung TVs turn off HDMI 2.0 support unless you explicitly turn it on in TV settings under "UHD Color". Apparently Chromecast was doing chroma subsampling, but computers refused and wanted full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth...
