I believe that you may be thinking of the newest development in the field of Advanced Manure Delivery: The Super Flamer 3000.

Think of the SF3000 as a holistically synergetic approach to fertilizizing and pesticide treatment. Combining well known ranged incendiary technology, with state of the art manure slurry dispensation technology, the SF3000 is applied as a pre-seeding treatment. By using the manure slurry as fuel, the SF3000 is able to reduce infestation of both insects and weeds in your fields, while staying biologically sustainable.

Look out for our TV commercials, we’ve spared no expense. We’ve got Aaron Paul to reprise his character Jesse Pinkman, in order to record our new slogan: “shits on fire yo!”

If the concept sounds appealing we also offer the SF4000x pro, which applies AI and vision technology, to target individual undesired plants with directed high speed streams of fire.

…

Ok that was actually pretty rewarding to write. I had the concept bouncing around for hours. But oh boy, imagine being killed with a pig piss fueled flamethrower, I’ve got several other ways of dieing that I’d prefer.

A broken clock is usually right twice a day… I’m just impressed because I thought this specific clock didn’t have any hands left, so covered in shit that it didn’t look like a clock anymore, as well as being on fire.

Oh no, won’t somebody think of his privacy

Btw in a completely unrelated train of thought, have you guys seen the low low prices on poo flinging trebuchets?

I don’t care that much about size. Not nearly as much as the “flagship” designation bullshit. How about we don’t have to pay 5x as much, because it’s a flagship and still let us have Graphene?

Nearly 18 percent steer clear of lane-keeping assist

I suspect these are also people who don’t like to use turn signals. They don’t like the car fighting their ill-advised lane change.

I’m one, but not because of “ill-adviced lane changes”. In my case it’s because I prefer to drive in the middle or little to the right of the lane. Note, I almost only drive on roads with a single lane in each direction.

I’ve had lane keep assist attempt to assassinate me, by jerking left in the lane, right as I was approaching a truck with a super wide load, with ΔV around 140km/h. After that I don’t care how “safe” it makes me, I prefer to stay alive.

My car is from the same group as nissan. Luckily it doesn’t get to set the speed limiter automatically. If that was the case I’d traded it long ago.

This makes me sound like I’m irresponsible. I’m not, I just happen to have a car with dangerously poorly designed “safety tech”.

My car has sign recognition, cruise control, and lane keep assist. I use a single one, and one I can’t turn off permanently.

Lane keep assist insists on making me drive way too far left, so I turned it off after it tried to kill me by forcing me into a super wide load truck coming towards me.

Cruise control keeps wanting to switch setting to the recognised speed limit. But it picks up all sorts of stuff. So driving by a highway on ramp will make it suggest that I put the speed limiter to 130km/h, on a 70km/h road. But turning off sign recognition requires me to go through several menus and is reset when I park.

On top of that the speedometer is 4-5km/h too slow, so I’ll be going 84km/h according to the speedometer, my GPS says I’m going 80km/h, and I’ll go by a sign and the speed limiter will pop up suggesting that I set it to 80. And btw that the speedometer is displaying a faster speed than I’m going, has nothing to do with wheel circumference. The car’s odometer is spot on. If google maps says a trip is 300km then the odometer advances 300km, not 298 or 302.

I don’t know how “privacy friendly” the Chromium branded chromium browser is. But if I had to use a chromium browser, and Edge wouldn’t suffice, that’s where I’d look. Brave would probably be last on my list of browser choices, because I don’t even trust the installer to not give me a little bit of Palantir flavored malware. And that’s to a degree that I wouldn’t even run it in a VM on my daily driver.

If I wanted to spy on privacy minded individuals, who are harder to spy on than the average person, then I’d launch some privacy product, work up the hype, and have it spy for me. I could have formulated that idea before Brave was launched. Seeing how Brave is associated with Palantir, to me it’s already fishy. And when it’s main selling point is privacy and conducts themselves exactly like I would have expected a malicious actor to do, then I just don’t use Brave.

Why brave? I see a lot of seemingly tech savvy people using brave, and I don’t get it. Edge or chrome can do the same, in terms of rendering, and you don’t need to have software associated with Palantir installed.

I’m stuck using fucking facebook, messenger and whatsapp. Facebook and messenger are where all the non-techie people in my kids’ sports communicate, and I’ve got some dear people far away that uses whatsapp.

I had deleted my account back before it was called meta, but had to get a new one. Fuck me if I’m going to install their app though.

If we could wean people off of meta it’d be great.

Some Oracle hr droid tried to hire me fresh out of university. It’s been “some” years, and I’ve never heard anybody saying that I was a fool for turning it down.

it uses a lot less energy since it runs on your home or company’s infrastructure.

A CPU-cycle requires energy no matter where it is. The open source models may be more efficient, or you may distribute the power usage over a greater geographical area. But you’re not using less energy because you’re running the model at home.

Because of that, I predict that we’re going to see a lot of financial hardship among AI companies.

I do like the idea that open source will kill tech giants.

Maybe I should start running ads on my jellyfin server. Something like “want unlimited bluey for a weekend? Clear and load the dishwasher twice this week”

Or “want +16 content? Start being an adult and use the toilet brush”

He should be calling it “metAI” in anticipation of its upcoming “success”

Nice try, I still ain’t gonna pay. OpenAI can go bankrupt without burning my money

I’m forced to at my job. It’s either outlook or outlook online, no third party clients.

Nice try, I ain’t gonna pay anyway

I bitched and moaned when office 2007 came out. Stupid ribbons. Still hate that shit. Only thing MS office has going for it, that I haven’t found elsewhere, is collaboration and Danish grammar check. I haven’t found proper grammar check in my native Danish yet, outside of ms office that is. But if my job decided to ditch its pricey office subscriptions, I’d be cheeringly installing libreoffice.

I do hope I get a chance to retrieve all my emails when I get shut out for raising an arthritic middle finger and telling Google to go fuck themselves when asked for ID. I got my gmail account when people still paid for invites. How can I be underage? I wasn’t even underage then.

I rely on Android Auto in my commute. A couple of weeks ago maps wasn’t displaying correctly, so I rebooted my phone. All of a sudden assistant was replaced… 30km later I pulled over and switched it back.

If I’m writing an SMS, I want it written, not start a dialogue with some temu hal9000 clone.

Gee Mr Gates, that’s a nice monopoly you’ve got there. It sure would be a shame, if that anti-trust lawsuit the AG is researching were to happen to it…
