So it's only piracy if you're not rich

Got it
This is the collection Nvidia is accused of accessing for training.

Training on pirated works is rife in the AI industry. It's been embraced by some of the biggest AI companies in their greed-fuelled race to win the AI market.

People who 'reply' instead of 'reply all' on small emails are gradually starting to tick me off more then the doofuses that WILL hit reply all on corporate wide generic emails

The amount of energy I expend crafting emails that convey information clearly and succinctly, making extra care not to somehow unintentionally tick people off...

This is why I'm exhausted after work most days

This is also why I call people more often then not on support tickets.

nope nope nooooope
I know there's a lot more important things going on, but I just want us all to take a moment and read this headline and let it swim around our brains like a screaming paramecium

Midwest and East Coast folk, if the storm hasn't hit your area yet and you have time, get water an the usual supplies

If already stocked up, do not drive in bad weather unless absolutely necessary. Don't be stupid.

Show me a current TV where the apps are easy to find, work quickly/properly and you aren't inundated with ads at least ONCE

Only way I know how to get this is to never hook the TV up to the internet ever and use a game console with all streaming apps on it.

Wild, but it makes sense.

Giving TCL a 50% share of Sony's TV manufacturing keeps them lean and also making money still

Apparently COBOL is alive and well in the workforce which blows my mind

Let this be a lesson, old AF programming languages stay useful for a loooooong time

I don't think I can wear my CPAP when it gets this cold

For some reason my heart valve vibrations get rougher and the CPAP seems to make it worse

Just a smidge cold in the house

Not looking forward to the utilities bill next month
January 20, 2026 at 5:17 AM
A Short Stay In Hell.... not good.

Premise started off interesting but... yeah not good. Least it was only 105 pages

Next book!

TIL why heat vents in a house are usually underneath the window

It's to basically offset the cold spot with heat from the vent

My next question... why not just have fewer windows so when it gets cold outside you don't have to worry about cold from windows

Bedrooms apparently require 2 openings

Dark Matter done (it was good!)

Onto the next book

Jet Li started a YouTube

So far it seems very wholesome
January 20, 2026 at 12:05 AM
Yes yes

I already know about the FarCry Blood Dragon "upgrade"

I'm fine with my basic disc copy
