I remember there was this email client (in a text mode terminal) that didn't mask passwords. I have no recollection what it was called, this was about a century ago. People used to cover the screen with one hand to hide it as they typed. Everyone thought it hilarious, but this would've come in handy at the time.

From the command line `git clone https://codereview.qt-project.org/qt/qtspeech.git\` Or use any Git client with that URL. It's given at the top of the page you linked. Select the "tree" link at the top to browse online

DeepL? It can translate PDFs

This kind of thing? [Amazon link](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=computer+graphics+tablets) I think they were just called tablets before the Android variety appeared. Wacom is the only brand I've heard of.

Around here, a range hood [[^](https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=レンジフード)] is standard in every house. It's just an exhaust fan housed in a fancy hood over the cooker, price depending on the design. There are also a fan that vent all the air in the house, but it's only found in relatively new buildings. That's usually an exhaust fan in the bathroom wall or ceiling, with inlet vents built into walls of all rooms.

So sad to hear, my deepest condolences

But someone went to the extra trouble of blocking specific automations. I bet the t-word was uttered quite a lot during the design and testing of these. I’m not really complaining, if they want to not implement certain features, then so be it. I just found it curious that they considered these security risks. If that’s the reason. Maybe there’s some other explanation. [Shortcut automation does not have the opt… - Apple Community](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255047088) Unrelated, came across a cool use for automations [Use This Automation To Protect Your iPhone If Stolen While Unlocked – Matthew Cassinelli](https://matthewcassinelli.com/apple-shortcuts-iphone-automation-protect-stolen-unlocked/)

So it seems to be impossible to create an automation task on the iPhone for certain events unless you manually allow the task to run. I can automatically send a text message to Phil every day at 4am saying "Wake up, you filthy monkey!", but can't automatically turn on airplane mode when I arrive home. The second one asks me whether to run it and there's no option to disable this. Defeats the purpose of having a stupid automation in the first place. (I don't want to do any of these, just examples) If you look at all the events that don't allow automatic execution, all are something that are a "security risk" in the sense that you can use them to blow things up remotely. Or something similar. Am I imagining things or is someone at Apple super paranoid?

On my mobile browser (any browser), refreshing the page as soon as the ad before the video starts playing makes it go away. No ad blocker necessary. Is it the same everywhere, I wonder? It may be a regional thing. Doesn't work on desktop.

I use it to share my screen even when in the same room.

OK so I've only heard about ChatGPT a couple of days ago. Signed up and tried the exact same thing (before seeing this) :-D

It is generally considered unethical and a form of plagiarism to present the work of others as one's own without proper attribution. This applies to written work, including text and other content that is generated by artificial intelligence like myself. If someone were to use my responses or information that I provide without proper attribution, it could be considered plagiarism. It is important to correctly cite and attribute the sources of information that you use in your own work, including information that is provided by artificial intelligence. This helps to ensure that the original creators of the work are properly credited for their contributions, and it helps to maintain the integrity of the information. If you are using information from an AI language model like myself in your own work, it is important to properly cite and attribute the source of the information. This can typically be done by including a reference to the AI language model in your citations, along with any relevant details about the model and its training data.

As an artificial intelligence, I do not have the ability to track or monitor the use of my responses or information. I am a machine learning model that has been trained to generate human-like text based on the patterns and structures that I was trained on, and my responses are generated automatically in response to prompts and questions. I do not have the ability to monitor or track the use of my responses, or to verify whether or not they have been used by others. If you are concerned that someone may be using my responses or information as their own without proper attribution, there are a few steps you can take: Check the source of the information to see if it is properly cited and attributed. If the information is from an AI language model like myself, it should typically be cited and attributed in a similar way to other sources of information. Check the text or content in question to see if it matches the responses or information that I provide. If the text or content is identical or very similar to my responses, it is possible that it may have been derived from my responses. If you are still uncertain, you may want to cons

If nobody noticed, it was a pointless meeting anyway.

most of our conversations seem to revolve around medical terms, as I remarked to my wife the other day, but she couldn't make out my words over her tinnitus, and thanks to my hypophonia, I couldn't make her hear me...
