Microwave ovens.

If there’s enough demand, somebody will clock-glitch it and post the hacked firmware online in a few weeks.

Blocked all the server domains. There are a bunch of lists out there for various TV brands.

I thought Bosnia had access to the sea via Neum. Or did it get annexed?

Here are the questions I would want answered:

• Catalog: What am I subscribed to?
• Effort: How much time do I have to put in to tell it what it needs?
• Money: How much are all these costing?
• Utility: Is it worth it? (my usage of a subscriotion vs the cost)
• Optimize: are there better deals based on my usage?
• Compare: Is there anything better? Or similar?
• Notification: Tell me when there’s something I should know.
• Discovery: What is out there I might like, but I don’t know about?

Any service that helps answer those, and can prove that its price is saving me enough to cover the cost will be worth it.

Was working on a simulator and needed random interaction data. Statistical randomness didn’t capture likely scenarios (bell curves and all that). Switched to LLM synthetic data generation. Seemed better, but wait… seemed off 🤔. Checked it for clustering and entropy vs human data. JFC. Waaaaaay off.

Lesson: synthetic data for training is a Bad Idea. There are no shortcuts. Humans are lovely and messy.
