Smaller = cheaper to make, less space needed for storage, etc. They also look thicker, so might be more robust. I’d be surprised if any record player couldn’t play 45 rpm, the reason for 33⅓ will be because they are smaller they need to be slower to increase the playing time.

Try aidungeon - it does exactly this.

I’ve been using it recently for generating alt text for images (my bots on Mastodon and Aunty Madge on !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com specifically). It’s pretty good at that, although does sometimes give weirdly wrong details - especially the TED Music Bot, if it gets the usual +4 startup screen it says it’s +4 on key F1, instead of 3-plus-1, and tells me the wrong colours for the text and background (I think it may be getting it confused with the C64, bit the colours are right there on the image!). It’s infinitely preferable to having no alt text, which would be the alternative.

The other thing it’s really good at is summarising articles.

I’ve also used it when I’ve had an error in my code I can’t track down, or a bracket missing that I can’t figure out. It quite often gives nonsense but I’ve had some success. Usually a normal web search is perfectly adequate though!

Press Enter.

I see from your photo that it’s a Lenovo - pressing Enter to interrupt normal startup will give you a menu which then lets you get into the BIOS.

If it doesn’t go past the “press Enter” point you might need to remove the HDD (or whatever storage it has) and try again. Reconnect once you’ve changed the settings back.

Same, am upgrading mine to an Issue 3 though!

Yeah, it’s cheaper than fabricating new chip sets, and more accurate than emulation. You can also reprogram them if bugs are found, or you want it to pretend to be a completely different machine. They are ace!

Not sure, could be “and, um, yeah” when my sentence trails off because I’ve forgotten what I was talking about halfway through the sentence.

I have to have covers, absolutely hate my back being uncovered if nothing else. Some sort of blanket or sheet is essential to get to sleep.

I vaguely recall the decimal ha’penny. I am old.

No, because the £ didn’t change, it was just divided up differently.

A pre-decimal £ is the same as a decimal £.

You could technically still pay in Shillings until they redesigned the 5p.

I’ve just given this a quick try in Windows (sorry, didn’t want to infect Linux with MS stuff) and… it’s pretty good.

I might install it in Linux although I’ll probably still use nano.

The Zero 2W is cheaper and pretty much the same spec as the Pi 3.

Yes, you only know what you’ve experienced. If everything’s blurry, that’s normal.

I know when I got my glasses, the optician said to look across the road with my glasses on. There was a brick wall the other side and I could see it clearly. I was amazed and said as much. I don’t think my sight had always been bad but it must have been bad for long enough for that to be a revelation.

Haha, maybe I should? And the banner?

I used to use Should I Answer. It works well but I’m not sure whether you can trust it privacy-wise.

You should be able to use the Compose key on Linux for easy typing of accented characters. eg. Compose ’ e = é

To be fair, I’m a Sagittarius so it should probably be this:

Mine’s probably this:

This looks intriguing (also every game should have a Nigel Mode). I’d definitely be up for a Switch version, I don’t get chance to play on anything else these days.

Nearly as expensive as printer ink.
