You can USUALLY get by with HP universal PCL drivers for most any printers, regardless of brand.

Yes, I know HP is parasitic in the ink/toner department, but PCL is pretty universal itself.

Supposedly Microsoft will be dumping printer drives here soon anyway for IPP connectors.

Manny areas have a rule where it is okay within 3 years. Look up Romeo and Juliet laws in your area.

There will most likely always be humans owning the resources. We are big on self governance, and some humans will always insist on sitting on the top and leading. Whether this is at a small scale of a human running a shop filled with vending machines, medium scale of a human or board of people running a large business, or massive scale of a world emperor who has claimed ownership of all land and wishes to direct the organization of things with a group of specialists.

The dream is to have a world of automation, where all needs are met. The reality is that humans always want more. People will attempt to control resources to amass power. Those who have power will likely use humans for entertainment.

Outside of these things, there will be levels of rejection of automated care. I expect there will be artisans who wish to impart the human touch. People will want human media. I can foresee a cult of humanity, who insists on making everything from raw materials.

The average city dweller may have it good, but those on the fringe of society and people who live in rural areas will be the easiest targets.

Hah, yeah, this is very far from my specialty, fixing computers. I only felt empowered by my many trips to the zoo and Google-fu.

The Cincinnati Zoo has been maintaining that bonobos are our closest living relative for over 17 years

I’m not strongly disputing the information you provided, I’m just pointing out what I have seen. There does seem to be some professional dispute about this:

The idea that chimps and bonobos are equally similar in DNA is probably correct. I see it repeated on NPR, Duke Universe, and the NIH. My guess is that the push for differentiation is some combination of conversation efforts and both morphological and social studies.

It might create a sterile hybrid, similar to a mule. Whatever the case, explaining the result of this to another being that could understand and explaining the innate cruelty in their creation is significantly beyond me.

I thought bonobos were closer, genetically.

After a few months I’ll clean things off my NAS

This is a situation where AI needs to be correct nearly 100 percent of the time. Errors mean wasted time from the employees correcting orders and wasted food from incorrect orders. An employee that makes hourly mistakes is a problem. No AI proponents are saying that Gen AI is going to be 100 percent correct because the goal is Gen AI is to provide a probable answer.

I’m not sure if you have read this, but here is an example of a more simple interface where Claude was asked to run a vending machine. At times it acted out an existential crisis or even attempted to call the FBI.

Thanks!

That’s what dental mallets are for.

Look, I work in IT and I HATE what happens with users pour cups of sweat into their computers.

I’m reading this as it regrows enamel.

That makes me wonder if it will slowly enlarge and fixed them all into two megateeth. NO MORE FLOSSING!

I want to believe.

This thread seems to heavily recommend wget.

If one could easily differentiate between one’s own thoughts and external, then there would be no problem.

I’d argue people were really starting to discover the Internet at about the smart phone boom and housing crash of 07/08. I was talking about Wikipedia with someone then and they stopped taking to me for a while. They thought I was saying something like Wiccan-pedo.

I am using proxmox to host my docker machine as well. I’m also using it to host a W11 machine for just-in-casies. Third machine so far is a VM for testing.

Yeah, I’m catching your message and am sad that I cannot realize it here and now. Our bus system is not robust and complicates anything more than a simple trip along the line.
