@robinwhittleton @jonty this has reminded me of an early job which involved training people who barely knew what a computer was how to do the basics. I was once asked why the mouse wasn’t working right. I rotated it 180 degrees so the cable was coming from the top rather than the bottom and all was well after that.
I have to go get a blood pressure test tomorrow (nothing to worry about, I’m fine) and it’s dawning on me now that Christmas week was maybe a bad time to schedule that.
I’ve worked out what’s been going on with all these Cloudflare outages lately.

I’ve realised why CEOs are all so into LLMs - it’s because they all have the same energy as a CEO, spouting complete bullshit based on half remembered think pieces, but in a way that comes across like they know what they’re talking about.
The boy’s gaming laptop has decided the week before Christmas is the time to self-destruct. Mostly it does nothing but turn the power LED on. Occasionally it’ll crank all the fans to full power while doing so.
I hadn’t really planned on tomorrow’s holiday activity being to remove every part from a laptop one by one, but here we are.
It’s usually fine but days like today I wish I had a car. I’d like to go climb but the gym is a 25 minute walk away and it’s pissing down with rain and will be for some time.
There’s a genre of “I learned/did [thing] in [n] hours” YouTube video which always includes a picture of the creator looking miserable in the thumbnail and it’s such a turnoff. Why would I want to watch someone have a terrible time learning something new?
