Patch 0.0.2 ✅
Trop content, j'ai réussi a réparer la touche [C] de mon ordinateur portable qui n'arrêtait pas de se détacher lorsque je cliquais dessus avec une simple charnière en plastique ( #hinge ) commandée sur Aliexpress
J'avais peu d'espoir que ça fonctionne, je me suis dit que j'avais pas grand chose a perdre a essayer. Au final j'ai bien fait d'essayer cette solution avant de faire appel a un réparateur. Pour 3 balles mon clavier est comme neuf. \^__^/
A day of filming, 2½ hours of interview, and a gazillion beach shots with the dogs - And that gets about 1 minute on camera in this documentary.
Which is good because that 4K camera adds 20kg to my chin.
But, sadly, the dogs didn't get their day on the telly :D

Finally a solution to a first world problem, your patio doors only open to 90° and get in the way when open. Worse they are damaged when the wind blows 🫤🤦♂️
So fit different hinges which open to 180° so the doors are flush with the wall!
Apparently no-one thought of this before this #UK company invented a solution.
Better than sliding or bi-folding doors once fitted!
The OWL 180 Panoramic Patio Door Hinge:
A short video explaining how they work and how to retro-fit them to existing doors:
(cc @bloor as he likes buying power tools and probably has patio doors)
@vwestlife Yes they did, and I saw them #retail in #Germany at #ConradElectronic but they quickly flopped for two reasons:
1. The #hinge mechanism made them fiddly to insert into devices, as that design isn't up to #SD spec which expects a ridgid body.
2. They costed more than an equal-capacity & speed card plus a #cardreader.
3. Basically everyone who used #SDcard already had a #CardReader and #USB #flashdrives were also cheaper than these things.
The only person I knew that used one was someone who fiddled with an original #RaspberryPi|s a lot and they used it with a USB cable permanently plugged in so they can quickly access the files when the Pi is shut down.

When a dating app CEO becomes the voice of reason about human connection, you know we've hit peak dystopia 📱➡️👥
Hinge's McLeod calls AI dating chatbots 'junk food' that could worsen loneliness epidemic. His solution? Better matchmaking tools that push people toward real dates, not digital comfort zones.
https://slashdot.org/story/25/06/23/2324250/hinge-ceo-says-dating-ai-chatbots-is-playing-with-fire
In a podcast interview with The Verge's Nilay Patel, Hinge CEO Justin McLeod described integrating AI into dating apps as promising but warned against relying on AI companionship, likening it to "playing with fire" and consuming "junk food," potentially exacerbating the loneliness epidemic. He empha...
I was informally (mis)diagnosed as "probably psychopathic" by my supervisor when I did my Social Psychology postgraduate at the University of Leicester psychiatric teaching hospital back in 1989. Now I realise that I was really diagnosed with adult autism by a psychologist who didn't have the tools to differentiate.
It's interesting because it started me on my path to computerising the psychiatric investigation part of the DSM (well, initially Hare PCL) evaluation for my Master's degree. The psychometric question-and-answer model and demo I came up with had me firmly psychopathic in PCL's diagnostic terms, whereas these days it would be easily diagnosed as autism.
I went on to expand the idea from psychometrics, to behaviour analysis in virtual worlds, which I figured would be a better capture than psychometric questions - Would the person co-operate to attain a goal, would they show altruism, would they be quick to anger - There's a lot you can measure in the virtual world as we know very well now, but didn't in 1991. Sadly, the lack of modern technology and the need to feed myself brought this PhD to an end without a write-up - But it's no wonder I ended up working for OkCupid, I guess :D
The sad thing about that is that although it didn't impact my life at all, other than having an interesting topic to discuss at parties, the PCL is used as a tool by US prisons in their parole calculations. A PCL diagnosis is a heavy weighting against parole, even though Hare himself has said that isn't the way this should be used. I dread to think how many autistic people are stuck in prisons for evermore because of misdiagnosed psychopathy.
The psychopathy test puts a lot more emphasis on masking and social interactions than on kidnapping people and putting them in wells to skin them later, I feel.
I can't be bothered to write a blog post about this, so I will scream into the #Mastodon #Void instead - Except now I have to think of some other #Hashtags which is always the hard part, I get carried away, autism you see!
