now a kid rocked up to the empty docking station near me with a massive gaming laptop, a second USB-C monitor (so three monitors all up) and an unopened box of pizza shapes he tore into soon as he sat down - i love him
hahahah, a group of kids is talking about chatgpt (or chat, as they refer to it as) and they all agree that "it fucked up my assignment" and that they can't trust it - but one kid keeps insisting you can make it "correct" lol
wtf is this?
every single student around me has either claude, gemini or chagpt running side by side with whatever task it is they're doing (someone's got a CAD thing going, someone else is going hard in VS Code, another guy is watching YouTube, but still has ChatGPT on his laptop screen)
I haven’t been to the RMIT TAFE library (building 94) in 20 years and back then it ruled because they had G4 PowerMacs with unlimited access to AARNET’s fat gigabit pipe. Today I’m back and they have monitors, keyboards and mice to dock your laptop with! This is fucken sick
you'd think i'd like deadloch considering i think get crackin is top shelf comedy gold, but i didn't enjoy deadloch at all - you win some, you lose some, not everything can be a banger!
all of get krackin season 2 (and 1) is on youtube! don't think i've seen anything funnier on australian TV since
doing a bit of fact checking for today's sizzle (which is late, I know)
"A Canberra teacher who was fired for bringing a 3D-printed gun to school to promote her technology elective has lost an unfair dismissal case" - well, yeah, that'll happen

also if anyone wants to barter for a sizzle subscription (https://thesizzle.com.au), I am totally up for that
picked up my home made honey today that I got in return for a few months of the sizzle - lovely guy and the honey is very tasty
wow this peach iced tea is really nice - oh 48g sugar will do that
saw this framework laptop mainboard on eBay, was gonna buy it but don’t need it now - has been relisted a few times so you could probably make an offer and the seller might take it (BYO RAM & SSD tho)
Sizzle done, only 30% battery used. I didn't expect the battery to last that long! I may even be able to leave a USB charger at home next time and just take the 5,000mAh USB-C battery I always carry.
anyone i know going to this melb cocoadheads thing tonight? debating if i should hang around in the city or go home

at the city library today with the surface go - impressed, so much better than the iPad, and battery is holding up well, used roughly 15% in an hour. Shouldn’t need to plug into AC or even a battery writing a issue of the sizzle
Long past time to quit X. “Those who continue to post on X — in particular those X users who are not racist psychopaths — are enhancing the site’s usefulness to [Musk] as a propaganda tool by drawing more eyes to the platform… “ https://publiccomment.blog/p/it-is-past-time-for-you-to-quit-elon-musk-s-x
Left my AirPods at home. Gonna have to raw dog being outside today.

Anyone got a hot tip for buying 1.6mm 306 stainless wire in Australia? I need about 6kg. I'm currently buying 15m/230g rolls from Bunnings at $15 a pop. austainless.au has a 16kg spool of 316, for $540, which is more economical but I don't need that much and I'd prefer to match the alloy if possible.
