    NAS drives

    I've spent the last 7.5 hours trying to configure my NAS drive. It is driving me nuts! I want to beam my video files to my Nvidia Shield, which is attached to my TV. But as soon as I start playing the video, it instantly crashes. Bugs are driving me nuts. It is one of the main reasons I bought...

    Anxiety of the unknown

    I had an insight this afternoon. The third part of the Four Noble Truths in Buddhism states this: This is interesting because I crave for my brand to continue. If I get a Cease and Desist, then my brand cannot continue. My suffering is coming from my craving for its continuity. That is the...

    Mental Tube

    The tricks I play on myself are not so much tricks but forging habits. By having a routine, it becomes easier and easier to do the same thing again and again. But if I am - for example - reluctant to start doing Project X (say start writing a book), I try to say to myself, "Just sit at the desk...

    Will AI kill us all?

    Wow, that sounds nasty. Can you get electrocuted if the water comes in and it hits the plug sockets? You play the organ?

    What would you save?

    Yes, actually that is a very good idea. Photos are timeless.

    Stand up desks

    They say it is quite doable at 1.5mph. But if you start doing like 3mph it plummets. There is a slight tradeoff in concentration I believe as you are multitasking. Maybe it is better for women. :giggle:

    What would you save?

    It is, even for a colour blind person.

    What would you save?

    Red. Like a pillar box.

    What would you save?

    I had an old Triumph Spitfire years ago that was on axle stands for about 20 years. I could have brought that.

    What would you save?

    I struggled to think of anything else.

    Will AI kill us all?

    The Occam's Razor explanation is the dog ate it. Doc, were you flooded out in the hurricane?

    What would you save?

    It depends on the disaster. If it was the annihilation of the world, I would perhaps go for a survival manual. Otherwise, perhaps a good pair of underpants.

    Stand up desks

    Just what I need! :LOL:

    Stand up desks

    I know the ones you are talking about Doc. Was very tempted to get one a while ago. There are also treadmill desks, where you walk at like 1.5mph while working. I wanted one but I don't have the space.

    Stand up desks

    Do they use the standing position much?

    Stand up desks

    I got myself a contraption today, which is actually quite nifty, on first use. It is essentially a perch for my laptop. I am sitting on my sofa typing this, using it as a supported tray with legs. Then on my desk, I can use it as a raised platform for a stand up desk. They are all the rage you...

    Will AI kill us all?

    It is hard to get rid of stuff. I have a bunch of sentimental stuff, which is different to prune.

    Will AI kill us all?

    And partly through being a hoarder.

    Will AI kill us all?

    The US outsources to India > The rise of the India middle-class > The US outsources to AI and robots > The collapse of the India middle-class. Could this be a cycle of poverty to prosperity and back to poverty again?

    Anxiety of the unknown

    I have withdrawn my trademark application this morning. If they decide to send a Cease and Desist letter latter on, I am nuked. Lets hope they don't. Yes, rebranding would be great, but it is not as easy as you think. It would mean that I lose all 400 reviews on Amazon that took 3 years to...
