Kind: Notes

From the Woopsie Doodle! Dept.: Elon Musk's AI chatbot has been caught handing out home addresses of ordinary individuals on demand, and was willing to provide step-by-step instructions on how to stalk these people when prompted. https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/privacy-concerns-raised-as-grok-ai-found-to-be-a-stalkers-best-friend

Before I move on to the next thing in my day though, I'll say this re: my last shared link. If you're someone whose primary goal is looking out for the users of a website, and your potential client insists on treating you as if you're merely the hands executing their vision, run the other way if you can, because that client isn't really looking for an expert and they will not respect you as such, even if things like offering them a discount and such aren't present. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, RIP my mentions, and all that.

I need to see if I can change TWBlue to only allow posting with ctrl+enter.

So today in Adventures with Blindness Technology, the TTS on this machine speaks "Gigabytes" as "GiggleBites", and you know what, we're going with this. It's GiggleBites from now on.

Hey blind hive mind: Does anyone have that foobar2000 configured to work like Winamp, and if you do, can you send it to me? Thanks in advance.

The casserole made it into the oven and it smells so good.

Today has been brought to you by technology behaving badly for both myself and John. We're making the casserole today though so that's good.

Zoomax has been completely starved of power, and it's now recharging. It seems to have powered on normally and I'll see if I can access things once it has a full charge. I'm keeping the defective Orbit reader easily available so I can use it when the Zoomax decides to malfunction and has to be deprived of a charge so it resets again, and hoping that PA gets the Humanware displays soon. Also, John and I are making tater tot casserole later on with lots of vegetables. It should be really good and filling.

Current status: Intentionally starving a Zoomax of power because, after three days of gloriously being able to use the replacement I ordered since the first one I got was defective, the replacement decided to get itself in a startup infinite loop this morning. So I'm hoping killing the battery resolves this. If not, John and I are both on the list for the new Humanware displays once they're available here. Other than braille display fails, just an ordinary Sunday over here.

Grilled cheeses (cheese toasties) for supper tonight because it's been such a long day.
