    TIFU by using a hammer drill a little too eagerly

    I pushed the drill a little too hard from the other side. Didn’t realise the damage I’d done until I came around the other side to my wife shouting and screaming. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

    I was on Amazon the other day buying a replacement light.

    A little banner on the item description advertised the new 2024 model. It has “ai integration” of some sort. Same price. I actively chose the older model. I can’t be the only one who thinks like this.

    Something feels funny about “an European”. I’m pretty sure I’d say “A European”, but I have no idea what rule is triggering me to say that.

    I live in Ireland, we had an American teacher visit our school for a year. She taught us the pledge, it stands out as one of the stranger memories of my childhood. That and her repeated “they didn’t want bush any more, they wanted Clinton”. Which should give you some sort of hint of how long ago this was.

    I had to do a presentation for work a few weeks ago. I asked co-pilot to generate me an outline for a presentation on the topic.

    It spat out a heading and a few sections with details on each. It was generic enough, but it gave me the structure I needed to get started.

    I didn’t dare ask it for anything factual.

    Worked a treat.

    I live in the Uk. We used to have a DNS workaround to give us access to the US Netflix. It had everything we wanted. I stopped torrenting and was happy to just stream box sets & movies.

    Roll on 10 years I now have a server with Hetzner that is my own personal Netflix of the high seas. Now rather than giving Netflix / Disney / discovery / Amazon etc a piece of my £35 a month I can curate exactly the shows and movies I want.

    They brought this on themselves and I have zero regret.

    My wife and I lost our baby at around 10-12 weeks. There was some sort of medical reason my wife needed a d&c due to excessive blood loss.

    Is that life saving treatment also banned under those new laws? If so, it seems even more barbaric.

    iOS Updates - Creating additional Home Screen icons

    When I update the app via the settings menu, sometimes (not all times) it’ll create two additional Home Screen icons. One named Voyager and another named vLemmy. I have previously had the app on my Home Screen with both these names. I’m guessing it’s weird legacy config from previous installs. How exactly does the update feature work? Why, if it’s a web app, do I need to update at all? Doesn’t it just auto update when you load the app? What is this witchcraft?
