>why are you generalizing?
My monitor broke maybe an hour after I cleaned the surface with alcohol. I used a sprayer to spray on the alcohol and a paper towel to wipe it off. There was never enough liquid on the monitor that it could have went into the gaps and short circuited some connection. Hence, I believe that the mechanical stress of wiping off the monitor damaged something in the panel, that lead to a complete destruction of the panel.
That means the problem is in the fragility of the panel itself.
High tech is usually highly centralized. There might be a couple hundred factories worldwide that currently produce 27 inch panels but they will mostly use the same production steps. There might be differences between a VA, TN, or IPS panel. Especially considering mechanical stress I can't find anything doing ans quick search.
I tried buying a brand name expensive monitor thinking that this would mean higher quality but I made a bad experience with it. Now I will try a cheap one. High tech usually does not provide metrics like durability, so I can either do extensive research hoping to find something in the breadcrumbs but I'm not willing to dedicate time into that. So I'll just do my own experiments. What is your problem with that?
My employer gave us the possibility to use Microsoft Copilot at work. It is basically just chat-gpt4 for companies.
I have tried to use it a bit whenever I had questions that I would usually look up in the internet. Whenever it answers it also references the sources it got those answers from.
The default language was german so it always referenced german sources. Those were all garbage. The german internet is awful for answering IT-related questions. Just random german sites that looked like they were optimized to get as many google clicks as possible to gain ad revenue from it. If I found something like this via a search engine I would never trust it. I wouldn't even be sure if most of the articles were written by some AI itself. I think this is an interesting observation. Non-english LLM-users will always have a worse experience.
Eventually I switched everything to english. But even then it was really hard to get any usefull link from it besides wikipedia. Usually it references just posts from random forums. Especially regarding programming a big part of the internet is from Indians that shit bullshit articles and forum posts into the internet trying to gain reputation from them to score a job in the wect.
For questions that I had a hard time looking up in the internet myself it was no help at all. It just repeated what it already said over and over against. It is useless for anything that goes over the stuff you might be able to read on wikipedia yourself.
As a long term internet and search engine user the most useful skill is to filter out all the garbage links from the reliable sources. It seems like chat-gpt is not capable of doing this in the slightest. It takes everything it reads as a fact. Since most of the internet is filled with garbage it will inevitably result in chat-gpt being garbage as well. I might be able to tell chat-gpt to try to answer the question only using eg. stack-overflow but then I might just as well use google.
What do you think about AI and Large-Language-Models? What kind of experiences did you make?

> What kind of experiences did you make?
Mostly the same. It can help you only in cases when you don't know what you're doing but I try to avoid such cases in general, otherwise it brought me zero value.
The only useful application of LLMs for me was ironically the human to human interaction. Like when I need to compose a formal letter, article introduction or something of the sort.
Do you smoke cigarettes? If so, which brand?
34 messages omitted.
I used to buy a pack of these every couple of months. Smoke like quarter to half of it along with some beers over an evening and then throw the rest away. This was perfect because I was not addicted and could go months without smoking anything while still being able to enjoy it every once in a while.
I stopped doing it because I doesn't make me feel good anymore. It just smells bad and gives me headaches.
Exactly. One of the richest examples of commercial design turning into an ugly grey little box with shocking imagery is the perfect allegory of what our world has turned into.

>It’s not enough that the public should be informed about the hazards of smoking; a warning has to be stamped on every package of cigarettes. Then cigarette advertising has to be restricted if not banned. The activists will never be satisfied until tobacco is outlawed, and after that it will be alcohol, then junk food, etc. Activists have fought gross child abuse, which is reasonable. But now they want to stop all spanking. When they have done that they will want to ban something else they consider unwholesome, then another thing and then another. They will never be satisfied until they have complete control over all child rearing practices. And then they will move on to another cause.

I am still saddened that the keinbernd nt sector of the internet took these two from us.
We should really let it go and only use worribears and proofsters from now on.

In my opinion German destroys Europe every time and done it again irrepairably maybe
They want cheap resources and cheap labour = they sponsor disgusting regimes like putin or hngary instead of helping them become nice (because germans are greedy and only care abt profit)
They are responsibly for mass migration of brown peopel (not racist but most of them are not competent experts worthy of migration and they smoke weed)
All they care abot is cheap resource and labour no morals nothing
In the meantime: weird language nobody wants to learn, ok food, ok literature ruined by the language that is so bad that you sometimes have to transliterate german words instead of translateing because cant translate
german people dress very bad and never wash their ass after shit
participate in contemplation of german nature

lmoa nice simulacres straight outta parisian white guard newspapers fit for TOILETS HAHAHA...
Reds won because the popular support was all theirs, civil wars are never won any other way, especially considering how reds were on the verge of total defeat multiple times and had next to zero foreign support. End of the story...
Only good thing Germany ever did...
that wasn't the topic of discussion.
Reds won because their opposition was disunited and Russian population not prepared to deal with such inhumane monsters who were willing to use all means necessary. If only were they see what these satans would do to the country in just a few years, if only they knew, then every bolshevik would be hanging from the tree.
its not the end of story just because you said so red scum, people still remember millions that died due to Red terror, brutal suppression of popular will, elimination of actual proletarian movements of workers who dared to ask what was promised yet got the bullets, gas and artillery shells.
I found the ultimate way for computer reading, just use some night driving glasses and some computer glasses at the same time. This help me avoid having red and fatigued eyes. It looks strange but it worth it.

How are you doing with the glasses? I use software such as f.lux or the default blue light filter in my phone
I though on buying blue light filter screen protectors for my devices but since i also draw, it would be impossible for me to adjust colours bc i wouldn't be able to retire the protectors so...
