Worst I've started to see frequently is "I gave it a spreadsheet and asked it to make a pivot table".
A lot of the use seems to be just people who haven't been trained to use their existing tools efficiently (or the tool has somehow terrible UX). But AI chatbot isn't the solution to either!

@tuomas_h same for a scale ruler, having the physical line you move just for a quick calculation is so much more satisfying than just calculating it.
This is also why I adore chronometer watches.

Now that I got this setup going and it's working, I thought maybe I could buy a series from early 90's my wife wants to watch but is not available for streaming or purchasing **anywhere**.
Well, whoever has the rights clearly doesn't want people to watch it; 6 seasons on DVD box-set sets you back 200€ with individual seasons at about 50€!!!
I'm pretty sure this would've been max ~100€ 20 years ago.

Adventures in legacy tech:
Got "Police Squad" (in colors!) tv-series DVD as a present last year and only now finally managed to source a DVD player. Next, rip them so I could watch them on TV.
But how does one rip a DVD nowadays? I haven't done it for past 15 years or so.
Handbrake seems to have had to drop a codec so it can't rip them anymore. So solution is convert first to MKV (letters I haven't heard in a long while), and then convert into h.265.
No wonder people just torrent these.
Started receiving email spam to my work email sent via google calendar. Just standard phishish/scam emails but as "events". Their system even allows html formatting so it masquerades as an "invoice".
Apparently there's no way to block this shit from being sent to me.

Ben BarnettI've posted an update to Base (v3.3) which adds Quick Look previews for SQLite databases. You can now see a summary of database contents from the Finder, without having to open the app!
Ylen uusi Areena iPadissa on aika huono;
- ikkunakromi syö turhaan n. puolet tilasta
- lähetystä ei saa keskeytettyä enää täydestä ikkunasta, vaan ensin pause ja sitten "puolinäyttöön". Muuten se jää syömään tilaa ikkunan alareunassa
- huitaisu ylös/alas ei enää vaihda koko/osa-näytön välillä, vaan joutuu osumaan näytön kulmaan
- näppiskomennot eivät vieläkään toimi

Please, can we get this to all public methods of transport?

Garoo 🧑💻Good grief, all it takes to hack a cheap router nowadays is typing $(reboot) everywhere to check if it's executed as a shell command — and it will be.
