You mean the AI that was trained on Reddit shitposts will be helping advance science? The AI that recommended putting glue on pizza, and that you won't fall off a cliff if you just keep waking?

What could go wrong?

Apple TV Privacy over Roku? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I have to ask... Are you actually happy with Kodi? Did you find a way to make it more usable?

I set it up on a RPi, got Netflix and Amazon working on it, and I really, REALLY wanted to like it...

But I just can't. The interface is awful. The sorting is nonsensical. You have to manually enable thumbnails. You can change it, but you have to change it for every interface. And then it doesn't remember, so you have to go through all that again the next time you use it.

Sorry if I sound whiny, but I'd love to know if you got it to be more usable than I could.

Forklift drivers, what's one thing that you've done by accident that's always stuck with you since it happened? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Haha, that's a good call. I certainly should have. I was pretty new with the torch so I suppose I was focused on the task at hand.

And it was just the tip™️. The last inch or 2 on the fork of a small lift won't make a lot of noise compared to the torch.

I was using the forks as a workbench to cut a piece of 1/2" steel with an acetylene torch. I thought I had enough overhang to make it work.

Those forks ended up about 1.5" shorter after I finished my cut.

We each have our own checking account. We also have a joint account. Each of us receives our paychecks in our personal account. We each keep a small portion in our personal accounts for each month for personal expenses, gifts, etc. The rest goes into the joint account.

We set up credit cards the same way. This gives us the means to buy gifts for each other without the other knowing. It also provides redundancy for lost cards.

We can both see the joint accounts. We cannot see each other's personal accounts. Our bank has it set up so I can see everything I have access to on a single online account.
