Just a reminder to never trust AI. I had a problem with a SQL query, so I asked AI. The 'fix' it suggested would have deleted all the data if I had run it.
I needed to lowercase a row in my table, but it wasn't updating it because the row itself was case insensitive. So, AI suggested I fixed it be setting everything in the row to '' (nothing), and then try to lowercase it.
Again, if I had done that, it would have deleted everything.
Geek alert: I'm really enjoying a recently remastered version of the soundtrack of TIE Fighter, the 1994 PC game that I have played to bits.

Sure, it sounds a bit cheesy and pompous, especially in the (MIDI) orchestral version. It's not exactly the Bach, Liszt, Reich or other 'proper' classical music that I was raised on. But game scores by Clint Bajakian and Michael Land a.o. are just as much part of my musical upbringing. Pure nostalgia!
If only I could always be as productive and laser-focused as I am between ± 14:30 and 17:30 hrs. I would surely finish writing my dissertation in no time.
Now that would be convenient, not least because exactly one year from now, my doctoral grant will run out. 😱😅
"Qualcomm-owned #Arduino quietly pushed a sweeping rewrite of its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and the changes mark a clear break from the open-hardware ethos that built the platform."

Oh boy, that was fast! Somehow we need to find more future-proof models for open-source hardware. Letting the market do its thing is showing its true colors once again. Pure evil! 👿
