Sounds more like it’s trying to suck the guts out of the Roomba, not just emptying the dustbin.

If off-shore wind farms can interfere with American military radar systems, might I suggest they get better radars!

Such BS. They have made up more lies to pander to the imbecile in the White House who is determined to keep burning fossil fuels like the fossil he is.

It is time for the rest of the world to seriously punish oil companies for the damage they have knowingly caused, and continue to cause.

There is a lot to like about the #Canon RF cameras, and I love my R7, but the one frustrating thing is the lack of third party native RF mount auto-focus lenses. Apparently, Canon have made it difficult for third parties to create AF lenses for the RF mount (for a long time, apparently impossible). There are some APS-C options now, but not full frame.

While the R7 would be OK with the APS-C lenses, I prefer full frame in case I ever splurge on the R5 ;)

500 layers, ~5 hours; current layer 198 - guess I'm not going to make it out until after lunch!

Poll (see previous post for the images of each option).

Also, people who design electronics that beep once every few minutes when they want attention, and then they stay silent have a special place in hell waiting for them.

Basically given up on @pixelfed at this point No response from @dansup or the help email address, and without the option to login using my Mastodon credentials, I can no longer access my account.

Poll (see previous post for the images of each option).

Playing with another design for a small table lamp. Nano banana rendered it larger than it would actually be in these images, but I'm interested in what people prefer in the way of wavy or plain shade, and dark base/light shade vs light base/dark shade.

Poll in the first reply as apparently poll + image is not supported in @Mastodon...

"15+ years of experience building machine learning systems for autonomous vehicles, robotics, or comparable complex systems"

Can't be too many people with that much experience.

Aside from the questionable brand name (I wonder whether it was intentional), the ads I see for these all make a big deal about the ingredients being better typical instant noodles. While it’s true that ingredients list is “cleaner,” that amount of salt is long way from making these a good choice IMHO.

Should I be worried about the 11 yr old’s purchases when she’s out with her friends…

Cancelling this app really wouldn’t be the end of the world. Content is awful, and the app fails more often than it works.

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition

We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum

@schwa Oh crap, that probably means I'm going to be getting a call about that from my mother soon... confused that everything on her phone has changed.

@NorcalGma2 Keep posting... Love the Summer photos.

@sanguish @bigzaphod As long as you don't mind a couple of weeks shipping time, screws should be pretty immune to shipping damage. The things I've ordered have all come in ziplocks, then wrapped tight, just no padding at all.

@sanguish @bigzaphod I've bought a few things from there for my 3D prints (accessories like keychains and LED tea lights). Delivery was 1-2 weeks (which makes sense coming from China), and the items all seemed as described. Packaging could be better, but so far nothing was broken in transit.

Took this back in 2006... seems quite accurate (at least the second part).
