A broken man on a #Halifax pier. Just some wannabe,suppose I could do better. Middled aged Canadian, child of immigrants who can't relate to them. Attempting every day to be a good person to all walks of folks and life. I don't always succeed. Love all things computer related, admirer of engineers professional and amateurs especially. Hoping your motivation rubs off on me.

The browser is slated to launch in the coming weeks, according to three sources familiar with the matter who spoke with Reuters. If adopted by the 400 million weekly active users of ChatGPT, OpenAI's browser could put pressure on a key component of rival Google's ad-money spigot.

Someone called ChatGPT “Grand Theft Autocorrect” and I laughed way too long at that.

“flat tire on a Sunday” was not on my list of things to do today. And my spare tire was stored under the car not in the trunk so it’s rusted to fuck and doesn’t seem reliable .. also I couldn’t get the stupid fucker out.
Bah.
At least the replacement was cheap at $40 Canadian rubles. Thanks Costco for pro-rating it!

Alrighty, glad I took some pics to remind me how to put it back together. Hope this still works! Those switches do look cool ..
Update: it works!

Finally got the switches off. Desoldering is not easy for me. Getting better but it’s not easy. Also in close proximity to other components I may have fucked up the wheel sensor, but I guess we shall find out :) I do have another spare one that needs its switches replaced too.

But first, some cleaning. Blech .. dirty sensor!
It was like there was granules of sand (but I’m sure it was food) there.
