I sigh at computers, especially the ones in cars, for a living. Interested in audio, hi-fi, music, and curry.

If you search Amazon for wall clocks, there are options for mechanism type; "Mechanical", "Electric", and "Atomic". Clicking "Atomic" yeilds only disappointment.

Also barely any actual clocks but that is a deeply pedantic etymological rant for another time.

This morning Google Photos did it's "memory" thing and showed a picture from 2016, which my soul refuses to accept was a decade ago.

I just googled something and Google put its AI summary top, which incorrectly used a Facebook post - misinterpreting it. The Facebook post itself was an AI summary of a user post - which AI had also misinterpreted. The result is the Google answer was just total bollocks.

10/10 no notes.

If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

@mathew Not for a while but I'm always willing to keep an open mind. Maybe they've made it worse?

@spacehobo Good point, although even if it is the wrong way around, why is it sucking in air from a closed drawer to cool itself? Surely there will be backpressure.

Our new induction hob has a fan that points down into the drawer below. If it has excess heat, why isn't it pushing it towards warming the pans I'm cooking with instead of the utencils I'm not?

@arafel I already hate these. Might end up back on MATE though.
