Hey @[email protected] OP, I saw this on Reddit and thought of you:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1dluz2r/comment/l9rlakb

That I was more addicted to the breaks and deep breathing than I was to the nicotine.

...

Yes! Because what do you do when you smoke? You go outside and take intentional deep breaths and it relaxes you. So, I kept my full routine of breaks when I needed, went outside and took intentional deep breaths. Just this time without a cigarette. Quitting was SO EASY this time and zero cravings. Because it turns out, she was right.

I need to replace a set of expired smoke detector at my elderly parents' house. They're too old to have alarms going off in the middle of the night just because the wind blows.

Yet, Amazon only seem to sell ones with photo-electric sensors, and many reviews complain about over-sensitivity with dust, and under-sensitivity when the room is clearly full of smoke.

Additionally, the ones with sealed 10 year batteries - many reviews report a battery life of 2 years or so in practice, with increased false positives as battery life runs down. So now, they have to replace whole units rather than just batteries.

What happened to good old ionizing smoke detectors with 9v batteries that needed replacing every 2 years or so?!

In the UK, the ads for these patches also say "requires willpower". From what you've written, it sounds like that's the part of the process you need to find in you. Good luck!

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"

I was with Three for years. It started off great, but the data throughput got worse and worse, and the prices went up every year.

I wanted EE without paying for EE, and I'm now with 1p Mobile for about a year and it's been perfect.

I've read that the only way to get 'actual' EE is to sign up for an EE contract then hope that you can beat them down on a retention deal when you're out of contract.

I've found cleaning my nose before bed has helped - remove the day's snot and boogers rather than sleep with it!

Libre Cloud's head office is a unit on an industrial estate: 82A James Carter Rd, https://maps.app.goo.gl/nu75EEHEDFbY5PMW9 (Update: it's a virtual office address, which doesn't really inspire confidence for me)

They probably colocate at data centres.

Personally, I'm on Hetzner's Storage Share (Nextcloud but without Collabora), and I'd prefer to trust my data to them: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/

Regardless of your choice, I definitely agree that nextcloud rocks.

Not French, I don't understand a word of what they're saying, but man, I love that album. Especially "Demain, c'est loin", an epic tune that gives me Wu Tang "Triumph" vibes.

Hi, Lemmy is even better with Boost, thank you!

In the internal browser, is it possible to add an option for reader view?

This will make it easier to read some articles that render too poorly or busily. (I know it's the website's fault, not Boost's - but still, reader view improves things!)
