Fuck AI. I don’t want it.

Especially if it lasts 4 minutes 33.

ARGH this triggered a bit of PTSD for me…

“We’re going to convert these COBOL applications to C#, and you need to test that the new application works exactly the same, including the same bugs as the old application.”
“Ok, where’s the specifications and test reports of the old COBOL applications?”
“They were lost to time, we don’t know where they are.”
“Ok, so how are the developers going to write the C# code?”
“They’re going to read the COBOL scripts and recreate them into C#, we advise you do the same.”

Cue me spending a month trying to decypher the COBOL gobbledigook into inputs and outputs, and write testcases based on that. And after that month was up, and I had delivered my testcases, they told me that my services were no longer needed.

I actually forgot about Roman numerals for a second.

he’s ordering 7, I think, if you count the thumb.

It does have an app, but I’m not using it. It also doesn’t work, because it can’t find the vacuum on the network.

The device has 2 buttons: “turn on/off” and “find home”, those are the only two I need.

A vacuum doesn’t need internet access.

That is why I have denied internet access for my robot vacuum cleaner. Xiaomi doesn’t need to know the blueprint of my house, and if it can’t connect to the internet, there’s no need for firmware updates.

I’ll start the thing by pressing the button at the top.

If you can manage to download your ebooks to your PC, you can use Calibre with a DeDRM plugin to release your Amazon hostages books. But it’s not a very straightforward process.

+1 for ProxMox.

I have that running and it’s pretty easy to work with

It’s a bit strange that when you create a note, you don’t automatically go to the editor.

That’s exactly what a 4chan user would say… *narrows eyes in suspicion*

I don’t mind those people, I just wish they wouldn’t go off on tangentially related subjects.

The UK had a Brexit just so they could leave the EU.

I even ignore DMs on linkedIn, they’re mostly head hunters anyway.

bleep bloop… I am a real human being who loves doing human being stuff like breathing and existing

the app version is also 2.0.0 on iOS, upgraded from the previous version.

So this isn’t a database issue on the server? But one in the app?

Apparently I have a database issue. It tries two photos and both fail with a foreign key error and then the process stops. I had deleted both photos it initially complained about, but then it complained about the next two. I fear I’m going to have to reinstall.

Went into the app’s logs (tap your icon in the upper right corner and choose Logs)

And in my case it’s a database issue:

SqliteException(787): while executing statement, FOREIGN KEY constraint failed, constraint failed (code 787) Causing statement: INSERT INTO “remote_exif_entity” (“asset_id”, “city”, “state”, “country”, “date_time_original”, “description”, “height”, “width”, “exposure_time”, “f_number”, “file_size”, “focal_length”, “latitude”, “longitude”, “iso”, “make”, “model”, “lens”, “orientation”, “time_zone”, “rating”, “projection_type”) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)

(redacted lat/long positions a bit)

I think I’m going to reinstall. This issue is over my paygrade.

Ever since the upgrade to 2.0 I’ve been unable to sync the photos on my phone. “Sync failed, cannot process backup” and I don’t know why.

your printer works?!
