       @GossiTheDog I've debated whether the Win10 EOL is far enough out for most of the systems we have to hit replacement cycles by then, but realistically we extend system life to ~8 years in some cases, particularly in academic departments.And honestly, with modern hardware with multi-core CPUs and SSDs as a default they'll likely continue to perform quite well for that lifespan. So then it's a debate about forced obsolescence  due to OS EOL - and that's what'll happen to us.

       Ars Technica does a great job of making the issues with AI detection for written texts understandable.https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/07/why-ai-detectors-think-the-us-constitution-was-written-by-ai/I'm now waiting for Constitutional originalists to say "As the founding AIs intended" in an argument...

       @stux I have one of these, and my niece absolutely insists on grabbing it and hauling it up to the  rope-ladder accessible reading nook off my stairs every night when she's here.Totally magical.

       @mttaggart For anything past an entry level job? Not at all. I do care if you know how to focus it to be useful, and if you use it to provide relevant information and meaningful measures of impact, scope, and scale.

       @foone Oh that brings back memories, I used to run FireCracker X10 gear for my first forays into home automation!

       @foone Type 5 all the way! Everything from those weird USB 3 hard drive enclosure cables to the pre-micro-USB "we made up our own mini USB standard, and nobody will ever find this cable again if you get rid of it". It's not that I'm a cable hoarder...What drives me nuts now is USB-C cable versions. I'm getting close to wanting a tester and then color coding everything based on what it supports and can/can't do. "ooh, this is 60 watt, 480mbps, that one is 100 watt, this is a 10 gig cable" Sigh.
