My water heater's app is so unreliable I just installed Home Assistant and ordered parts to plug a wifi microcontroller into its diagnostics port

@pizzatorque I have multiple-cursors set up, but also can do them through ace-jump.

I so rarely use them that I regularly forget the key bindings.

Multiple cursors were the cool thing a few years back because of videos of a a certain non-free text-editor using them, so Emacs ate them. I've found that they're not really all that useful most of the time.

How to fix AI’s ghastly power consumption? Fake the numbers! 

Big tech uses a stupendous amount of power, so it generates a stupendous amount of CO2. The numbers are not looking so great, especially with the ever-increasing power use of AI. So the large techs…
