I don’t keep a browser history at all, but my most recent visit was to:

• Vehicle registration plates of Western Australia

Or my favourite passive aggressive attempt by Admiral’s anti-ad-blocking “technology”:

“Continue without supporting”

There’s a whole range of cli tools to extract and query structured data like that, but you might consider loading it into something like sqlite3 and treating it as a database because those formats are really not intended for queries, they’re designed for sharing data.

For some workloads it’s true that you can do the heavy lifting on a more powerful remote machine and transport the results back to an endpoint device like a phone. Websites are a good relatable example of that, as are services like YouTube.

It’s not universally applicable for many activities that computers are involved with, data analysis, record keeping, simulations and a myriad of other processes.

Blurring of the lines between these different orders of magnitude is made possible by faster and faster networks, but that’s physically not able to beat processing done inside a single device.

The more powerful we make computers, the more complex problems we use them for. I suspect that this is unlikely to change as computers evolve.

One of the fundamental differences between phones, laptops, desktops, and beyond is size. While that sounds obvious, it also means that the amount of processing within the device is constrained by that size.

The constraints relate to how much energy can be used by each device and more importantly, how much cooling is available for the system.

It means that there’s a physical limit on how much work each device can do without being unusable.

While miniaturization is a factor, it’s not linear and you can only get so small before you fail.

So, depending on what you want to do in any given time, the device you use will dictate what’s physically possible.

This is a lesson that the religious fundamentalists currently running the USA have weaponised.

A search engine?

There is a lot of hype in this article and precious little in the way of verifiable facts.

Does anyone have any links to something more credible?

I work in ICT. Leaving Gmail is much easier said than done. It has the best spam filtering bar none and integrates with a whole host of other services that I use daily, like the mobile phone I’m writing this on for example, the one that integrates my calendar, tasks, contacts, photos, websites, YouTube channel, spreadsheets and, oh yeah … that other thing … Gmail.

So, if wishing made it so.

What I’d like is a Google Workspace tier that is entirely without AI.

Orca Slicer is open source and as far as I know a fork of Prusa Slicer. I suspect that you can compile from source with whichever version of OpenGL you want … if any.

Disclaimer: I’ve only just started looking at it for a different use-case, but it seems like it will do what I’m suggesting.

And Olijfje for Popeye’s girlfriend…

And Olijfgroen for the colour.

Oh … you’re a dick … thanks for self identifying.

1. I’ve been here for almost six decades.
2. I don’t know what the topic of “procreation genetics” means outside this thread where I was attempting to answer OP’s question and put those two words in sequence to explain myself.
3. I think that life has an imperative to procreate and has done so since it started.
4. Life, as we currently know it, appears to revolve around genetics.
5. I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

I’m guessing that being gay doesn’t turn off the part that’s looking for a beautiful mate.

I’m pretty sure that it boils down to successful procreation genetics. As in, the more attractive you are the bigger the selection of mates you have access to. It’s been happening for as long as life has existed here.

No doubt this has across history been heavily distorted by culture, art and religion and in more recent times by fashion, marketing, advertising and media.

Cans have been around for quite some time, with it, can openers. Given the proliferation of both, I suspect it’s waiting for someone to invent it.

Disclaimer: I’m not a can opener expert, nor am I a patent lawyer, nor do I pretend to be either on the internet, so … caveat emptor.

Backing into a parking bay where the amount of traffic in the bay is close to zero and visibility is great allows you to drive out into the street facing forward where you can see what traffic is coming.

If you drive forward into a bay then you have to back out of it into the street where you cannot see anything except what’s directly behind you and you have little to no visibility sideways, unless the bays next to you are empty, so essentially you’re backing out with your fingers crossed, hoping that nothing will hit you.

Moreover, the traffic rules, at least where I live, specify that a reversing vehicle has to give way to everyone.

As a bonus, when you’re loading things, you’re not standing in the street with your back to traffic.

In other words, learn how to back into a bay.

It caused the lining in my nose to swell which in turn blocked my nose, which caused me to breathe more through my mouth, which caused me to choke and wake up explosively gasping for air. It was not fun … at all.

Over the period of seven days I tried several different masks with the help of my local sleep clinic who initially tested me via a full sleep study, then fitted the masks and evaluated the CPAP machine data.

CPAP isn’t a universal “fix”, which is what I was told about before going into the trial.

Hands up if you have done this at least once in your life…
