This is a horror story. The person flips the switch accidentally one day and when they flip it back on…
- they aren’t the same person
- they lose all their memories because they were stored in RAM
- something evil is no longer contained
- nothing happens, they just stay off. FOREVER!
- they crap their pants, it’s the bowel control switch
I work with computers, my coworkers verbally say “wake up” while waking a computer from sleep mode. I start singing this song every time. They still don’t understand.

science@lemmy.world•Vagus Nerve Stimulation Improves Severe Depression by 70%, Major US Trial FindsEnglish
132·2 months agoIt’s worth noting the trial was funded by LivaNova, the company that manufactures the VNS device, which has a financial interest in the trial’s outcome.
…
The US FDA approved VNS for treatment-resistant depression in 2005, though exactly how it works on depression isn’t fully understood.
They make a device with no idea of what it does, then fund a study to see if they can call it a miracle.
Nice touch the boat would be going in circles.

2·4 months agoIt can be good at sifting through the top search results, but if people stop posting those questions because of AI where will the answers come from?
A ton of smart buttons. Every time you do the task you push the button and a time helper is updated to the next date. If today is beyond that date, update a second boolean helper to show the task must be again!
Bonus if you set a light or alarm to go off of you forget to do it or a reward dispenser to drop treats when you complete the task!
I like the idea of this. Perhaps not on a laptop, but small hexagon badges that show some sort is relation to something. Favorite media, projects, software you’re good with, coding languages you a comfortable with, etc. A simple snapshot into someone that can be identified easily, what a great conversation starter.

I mean… That’s a fine breakfast. As an upgrade, put the cheese on earlier to take advantage of residual heat to melt the cheese.
You can also cook a piece or two of bacon and use the fat for the egg to add flavor. Toss in a bagel or other toasted bread and you got a pretty kick ass breakfast sandwich.
Have you tried calling them? It fucking sucks to do, but I find it’s an effective way to get off mailing lists. It shouldn’t be this way, but until some governing body gets the authority and motivation to fix these shit companies, it’s about all we got.
Maybe but everywhere, but it is certainly more common. Perhaps not best for a fire, but I recall the example of a domestic abuse situation where they were effectively trapped with no way to talk without raising suspicion.

Memes@lemmy.ml•My life has been way better since I started keeping a cursory view of headlines once a dayEnglish
19·8 months agoI did that last year. This year I set up so many filters and block lists to avoid the toxic bullshit. It’s really helped to restore my sanity.
- There is no good news
- The news exists to capture your attention
- You cannot fix all of the problems
- Secure your own mask before helping others
I appreciate the idea, but it is fine to just describe the joke instead of using AI to create a mediocre attempt.

523·8 months agoSure are a lot of things to account for with these self driving car things. It would probably be way easier if they were separate from pedestrians and maybe limited on where they can go.
Trains. I want them to just be trains.

And I’m sure the person who steals that file will really appreciate the effort you put in.
I’ve literally searched networks for files with the word “password” in the title to find documents just… sitting on a network drive anyone could access.
At the very least, go get KeePass! It’s free, can run without installation, and can even type for you.
