Random Tech things Thread

i’m overtired and in the mood of ranting so…

just wanted to say, i worked on that project for hours, rewriting big chunks of the c exploit and wrote all others from scratch without ai. Not trying to brag. Just trying to rip ai. I thought to myself, if i’d use ai, i got no doubt i’d still be in the middle if not yet given up after it just not working… ai is impressively good when it comes to ui or even some basic backend but when it comes to real deployments it’s a disaster. It will almost never work but even on the small chance it will, it will not be secure and will fall apart pretty fast. AI is good at ui cuz its simple. When you need actual human brains to make decisions how to do something ai just doesn’t do good. Same with c kernel stuff especially device specific stuff. Even though ai knows more info about this exploit then i do, it just Fails terribly.

@mods wasn’t sure where to put this. Feel free to move this if you feel like it.

I’m am most definitely not saying that ai is all knowing. Haha, definitely not.

But if you are having trouble deploying things I’d venture to say that you haven’t used it correctly.

Security when building with ai products is also only as good as the person prompting it.

I’m re-encoding a video. Who knew FFmpeg was so heavy duty? (I captured it at a low point. It’s generally between 70% and 93%)

And I’m not using a weak computer. CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 7445HS

Some days in IT are boring, like today.

Almost every single call is about connecting laptop to computer/server at work.

Some people get Google remote desktop, some anydesk, some tailscale VPN and rdp some, get net extender or global VPN with rdp and some even got a screenconnect host pass. All depends what the case is, and what they like.

Actually saved my life. I nuked ssh and then my tailscale went down… I actually freaked out before I figured out about noVNC

This is what dark mode Start menu looks like when I try to search.

@Dev-in-the-BM_2.0 Seems like someone is trying to force me to switch back to light mode…

Or someone trying to force you to Linux…

Had similar not on insider preview, not on dark mode, many times.

(Unless always like this when you try to search, and only in dark mode.)

Just why?
