  • Me too. I have a Brother printer. When I first set it up, Windows printed everything in inverse black and white until I hunted down the correct driver. Windows also never figured out how to wake it up, so I always had to manually wake it up. And it simply never worked with the scanner.

    Linux got everything right without me having to fuss with anything.



  • I think LLM’s are incredibly useful in limited circumstances. But it needs to be on-demand, NOT omnipresent.

    For example, I’m learning a bit of C#. I was following a tutorial a few weeks ago that had some code I didn’t understand. I spent an hour googling and reading documentation, but found nothing. I headed to ChatGPT and asked it what it meant. It gave a clear, easy to understand explanation.

    Unfortunately, the industry is going about this all wrong. Google wants to force Gemini on my Pixel. So I nuked Android. Microsoft silently installed Copilot on my laptop without consent. That laptop is now happily running Linux.

    Forcing these tools on people will just alienate people like me. In a way, I’m glad it happened. I’m much more satisfied now that these companies are minimized in my life.

    Consider grabbing a bar normally. You’d probably have 4 fingers on one side, and your thumb on the other. Now move the thumb so it’s on the same side of the bar as your fingers. That’s a thumbless grip. Not really thumbless, but your thumb is doing much less than it normally would.

    The grip is popular for the low bar squat because it puts your wrists in a better position. It’s also a popular bench press grip for folks who want a caved-in face.


  • Absolutely. 4 movements in a workout is plenty, IMO. Depending on your rep/set scheme, you may be over doing it if you’re coming back from a long layoff.

    Start tapering in some accessory work as you acclimate to your routine.

    If you’re feeling completely wiped workout after workout, take a closer look at your volume and intensity. Too much of that can be a problem. Head over to Barbell Medicine and see what they have to say about session RPE (sRPE).


  • To me, this is its biggest flaw. You can’t scroll back in chats very far, but you can search for lines further back. However in a truly spectacular display of uselessness, the search only returns the chat bubble you searched for, with no surrounding context.







  • Former industry guy here.

    Some HD’s park the head on a plastic ramp at the OD of the platter stack. I don’t see that structure in your picture.

    Others park the head on the platter itself. This area is always not usable area, since contact isn’t great for data integrity. This is a simpler solution but comes at the cost of reduced data capacity.

    I don’t recall if this park area is on the ID or OD (it’s been a long time), but the position in your picture is reasonable since it would cost less disk area…
