@amerpie.lol You seem to be the go to guy for OSx software but by any chance do you have a recommendation for an hdmi kvm switch? I want to share two hdmi monitors with my new m4 pro but also be able to switch them back to my pc (which has hdmi/displaylink/usb3.0) w/out having to juggle cables.

It's like i'm a kid again and it's the night before Christmas and I'm waiting up for Santa.... What is this weekend going to bring? Maybe a demo of someone's latest model attached to their bank account but during the presentation it goes rogue and dumps 50 million into something like $Switfties? 🤞🤞😍

January has been just bangers for crypto & AI brodoggies. My favorite so far has been Elon and Altman throwing literal tantrums at the thought DeepSeek used some of the data their companies stole from all of US then produced something cheaper& better. Then the clickhouse leak! **chefskiss**

If you want to use DeepSeek and don't want to send data to China, here are two easy options:

1. Use Perplexity

Just select "Reasoning with RI" in the dropdown. Honestly, this is the best version of Perplexity I've used yet.

Cons: Queries per day are limited

Option 2 below 👇

"The truth of love an unsung song must tell
The course of love must follow blind
Without a look behind"
Not only a great quality video and great version of Reuben and Cerise but one of the few completely solo Jerry gigs (he even played two shows that day)..

8 years ago when I moved to Seattle I met Dean over at Al’s where he held court behind the bar..now I just heard one of his songs on the radio. The voice of a A 1940s cowboy crooner. His success could not have happened to a nicer person…check him out.

So apparently Hindu Love Gods actually played three shows in the 80s with Michael Stipe joining in for one of them (which makes sense seeing how the band is basically REM but with Warren Zevon at the helm).. 1980s Athens, GA must have been a crazy music scene.

Ohh and to add one more thing on that last post - If it's a non-profit providing the service then there's 2x the chance something bad will happen. Always have your own copy of the data. There's been a few wannabe sam altman acts i've seen where they're nonprofit but have closed source-code.

Just a quick reminder my friends that if you don't have physical control over your content you definitely don't own it. Hosts can go offline, bankrupt, data fails, change ownership, or just decide they don't like you and poof, no more content. Backups are easy and can be cheap/free.
