Can we please stop using unconstitutional to mean "I don't think this should be allowed"???
The TN House of Reps can expel Reps. Section 12. It's a terrible idea to do it for disagreements, but... still constitutional.

Someone wrote in asking for technical support, asking for a very specific installer for a specific piece of software, apparently no longer available for download from our site.
Here's the weird part: Neither this software nor an installer for it have ever existed. (Was this software someone else wrote, that we're just hearing about for the first time?)
After several back and forth messages asking for detail and where they heard about this software, it turns out that it all came from ChatGPT.
Holy crap. The New York Times published an unabashed, non-both-sidesing article arguing for trans rights, and equating them to Black rights, by a Black author?
Did like... the editor in chief have a stroke, and they slipped this by when nobody was looking?
Edit: non-paywalled version.
Thankfully they didn't make the same clerk do the roll call vote the next day. You think this is boring to watch, oh boy would reading the same list over and over daily for a month (or however long it takes) be definitively boring.
Would be the definition of insanity, if they didn't have to do this to get started doing anything actually useful.
Hurrah for people selling electronic parts on Amazon, I now have enough 1000 µF 16v caps to fix 15 old PC power supplies. Choices were: 10, 20, or 40, for around the same price of $12.
So I got 40, because, who knows, maybe another power supply will fail soon!
This is one of the few fixes I wouldn't recommend to a customer, as the power supply is very likely no longer #UL qualified, despite using reasonable parts, as they're not exactly what the manufacturer used.
@foone I thought of a truly bonkers #keyboard idea.
First: a light up display grid of letters of the alphabet in a somewhat random order. Choose the letter you want out of that with "left-right-up" buttons to light up the one you want.
Second: to actually type that letter, you use a second set of letter keys that do not light up, in a different order, and hit the key you want out of it (any other letter key hit randomizes the other keyboard).
This came to me in a #dream.
One fairly huge problem with #chatGPT, is that it sounds confident, regardless of how sure it should be of the answers it gives. I managed to get it to "play #chess", and it happily accepted an invalid pawn move. When I told it the move wasn't legal, it confidently told me the reason was, "because it is not your turn". The actual reason should have been "pawns can't move 3 spaces on the first turn"
But it never lost confidence while talking about it.
