I feel like these would be great substitutions for a retrofuturistic book.

At least a human can learn and understand when there's logical inconsistencies.

I'd much rather a call center in the Philippines does it than a computer that has no idea what the context is.

An in person scribe is actually best, cause there's a second set of eyes on the information, and they can ask clarifying questions at the time of the appointment. That's how my doc does it.

No, because it's wrong just enough to slip errors into your medical report that seem plausible, but can be dangerously wrong.

You can and should say no to AI writing anything into your medical report.

People get lazy and don't review things as carefully when they see it's usually correct, and you don't always get the opportunity to read all the notes of your medical report yourself.

VPN into your home lab isn't about privacy, it's more about reducing your exposed services to the public internet.

If you have only the ports needed to VPN back into your network, then the rest is hidden behind your router. You only need to fully secure one thing, instead of having to ensure that everything is 100% patched.

It's not the only thing you should be doing, but it does help reduce the probability of a breach.

That's how people click on them. I follow a science interview podcast and they hired a new producer that started changing the YouTube thumbnails to those generic dumb click bait ones.

The host says he hates it, but can't argue that whenever they make a thumbnail like that, the views are significantly higher.

In the end, you do what draws eyeballs. The content is what matters.

This currently works, but I don't know if it will continue working forever - probably not too much longer after this announcement.

The "old Kindle PC app" might keep working in the future, but my guess is that it's going to be done soon as well.

edit: One thing I ran into was after installing the kindle app and turning off the auto-update, it still updates. So keep the installer handy and just reinstall it as needed.

I've tried a bunch of times, but haven't really found anything that's been particularly useful as a steamdeck 3d printed accessory. Probably the closest I've come is a steamdeck gridfinity storage solution for my desk, and a stand to play if I felt like using an xbox controller instead of holding the deck.

Here's the ones linked from the video, nothing in there was super interesting. Best one of the bunch was the charger insert, but I've found it to be annoying to use. I just go back to a small bag to stuff the charger into.

Had an 80's CB. Was great as long as you kept it under 65mph.

I really love the late 70's versions though.

The drivers license number has information about gender and birthdate encoded into it. You can see enough of the number to know that this is someone who registered as female, and has a recorded birth date of 29 July '98. I assume this person isn't 126 years old, so we'll say they're 26.

You can tell it's an Illinois license, because no other state is as obsessed with Lincoln. (Edit: you can also read the Illinois in the seal in the back left)
