A 100% fully automated smart home is a fucking bad idea. Might as well sign your death certificates. Our family had one such system (not Alexa) and it controlled the whole thing. Yes, we should have researched better but the sellers were really convincing. Anyway there was a malfunction and it trips multiple breakers in our house. Our rhought at the time was to get the fuck out and called the electricians. Guess what? The doors refuse to open properly, so we had to climb over…

If anyone really really really wants a smart home, please only assign the system for mundane tasks like music, lightings. Dont do it for security stuff like doors, cameras.

Or just dont install one, even better.

.Nah fuck off somewhere else please would ya

these people deserve a big FUCK YOU to the face, in front of an audience.

FUCK THESE GUYS

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

and when you thought he is done with your area and move onto the other:

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

well folks, I figured it out: It is “Wire in the Blood” episode 1 “The Mermaids Sing”.

• It was episode 1 so maybe thats why it got stuck in my head

• Main MC didnt save anyone, he got saved instead.

• Yes the suspect likes to cross dress.

Robson Green played this series really well. He is more of a detective / psychologist.

So I am rewatching old detective shows like WhiteChapel, early Sherlock, Ripper Street…etc. You know the usual police/detective chasing killers and solving strange cases.

Anyway, I remember I used to watch a show similar to the ones above around 2010ish. But the only thing I could recall is that the killer (of that specific story arc) likes to cross dress or maybe homosexual? Before I go further, let me say I have nothing against trans people. You guys are cool. It is just coincident that the one thing I remember is this one lol.

So in this one episode, the killer comes face to face with our main character. It is their only confrontation and it is the final episode of that arc. I think the MC caught him before he kills another one. I also think the killer dies in this episode so we close this story arc. There is a lot of “I think”, I understand but my memories are so hazy lol. Another thing I could recall is that the killer is a male, and he dresses like one of those dominatrixes. This scene was so fucked up that the only thing I remember was this killer. I think our victim was being tortured with BDSM stuff and before he got killed, our MC saved him.

Very hazy, I know. I also checked the following with no luck:

• Sherlock: definitely not. Sherlock only comes in like 3 episodes per season, and I dont recall any scene like that. .

• Whitechapel: I just finished watching the entire show and there was no such scene.

• The Alienist: I watched these a long time ago. I can try again but from Wikipedia’s description of the episode, there was no such scene.

• Ripper Street: I am watching it now from Ep 1 and I dont want to read up the episodes because the show is good. I want to enjoy watching it w/o spoilers. Maybe this is the one? I dont know.

Several thing I am 100% sure:

• Show is produced post 2000.

• I definitely watched this in 2010ish, exactly 2011. Reason for this is that I remember showing this show to my HS roommate and even he went “that is fucked up”. Again, no discrimination against trans, it is just the episode.

• It is definitely a detective style show. In fact, our MC caught the wrong killer and hence the reveal in this episode is so shocking.

That is all I could remember… Appreciate any help

oh thanks, i’ll post the info shortly. Thought Lemy has a dedicated instance for this.

the title from Newsweek is so poorly written

so the AI stuff causes too much CO2, instead of fixing their own hardware, the best they could do is to offset that CO2 amount by burying shit?

yeh… like that worm in your head huh

i use Google Keep, pretty handy so I can pate the notes while on my phone, then edit via the PC’s browser.

Best thing I’ve done: delete Facebook/Meta. It was very difficult because you kept coming back… Think I “deleted” 20 times and still crawled back to login. Yeh…

So I came up with a plan to purposely delete and lock myself out of it.

This was like 5 yrs ago, I didnt have much uploaded photos so the process was easy. First, I changed the email on Facebook/Meta to a temporary one. Then I went further to use some random password create a new password.

Then I deleted the account with that temporary email and random password and closed the browser. Finally, I nuked my entire OS and reinstall a new one, just in case if the cache contains data about the email and password.

Not from UK and also not a student, but imo this is more a school problem than the students. The teachers just do not understand how to cope with AI. With open note exam and traditional exam style questions, I would be an idiot if I do use AI.

they probably already bought too many of Boeing planes before these accidents happened. So what are they gonna do, put a bunch of Boeing planes in the back room and use Airbus? Still when i fly, I avoid Boeing like a plague. The problem is there are very limited Airbus flights for my route.
