Wife is a nurse. They trialed this out where she works and it was seriously a horrible experience. She ended up spending more time fixing the output then just taking her short hand notes.
This is what I’m worried about. Not so much the time fixing it, as the “well, that’s good enough” even though it might have issue. Over time, those small errors that may have seemed trivial at the time could become more serious issues.
I’ll be honest it’s been over 10 years at this point. But we had to virtualize a dying Gateway 2000 that had Windows XP on it. As part of that we needed ISA to keep working. I found some USB ISA adapters and ordered them. It took a lot of messing around with Workstation, the host Windows 7 and drivers on the VM. I can’t remember all the details at this point :(
I separate everything by decade > type > year (of start date). Don't even keep multiple seasons in the same folder if they are from different years. Still ends up mixing all types within a decade.
But I prefer splitting things by decades as a first level. The distinction of cinema, direct-to-video, TV show, TV movie, web and others isn't really that important to me.
I gifted my sister my kindle this morning (it was unused for years) after loaded it with azw3 files converted from epub using calibre. The other options is to send epub via email. But I told her to never put it out of airplane mode and get it on WiFi because amazon has deleted my "documents" (that's what they called sideloaded books) before.
I own two kobos, a libra for fiction and an ellipsa for tech books and textbooks. Both have koreader on.
using https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle it's trivial. I just bought the Greg Bear humble bundle (27 epub books), dragged all of them in one step, clicked the submit button and that was it. Books showed up on my paperwhite kindle in a moment. Couldn't have been easier. Books sent that way don't disappear from your device as far as I can tell - I've done similar large batch uploads for ages, and they're all still in my library, and available on all of my devices.
Sure, those are fair questions, but they've got nothing to do with the comment I was responding to, which was about the problems with reading (originally) epub books on a kindle.
It sounds like the comment you replied to is aware of that, but prefer his (sisters) kindle to remain functional with USB transfer, hence airplane mode to prevent any unwanted software updates.
It’s been a broader trend of businesses downsizing the square footage when they can and when they can’t they start to mandate in office to justify the cost.
I had this trigger the other day incorrectly and went and installed Paint.net. I pasted in a screenshot I took and just wanted to resize it. I got a banner saying it was made with AI and would be updated to reflect that.
I guess it shouldn't be surprising if an application called "paint.net" can determined if AI was used when connected to the internet. (I have used Paint.net more than a decade ago).
ah, right, i vaguely recall that now. But why/how would it know AI was used, outside of a local LLM, weird it would say that AI was used (unless it's referring to the software itself).
MS Paint wanted to add the "this is AI" tag on a picture they just resized. OP didn't like that, so they went and downloaded Paint.Net to avoid having to deal with (MS) Paint shenanigans.
I was stating that MS Paint mis categorized a Print Screen screenshot as AI generated when pasted. Which pushed me to install PaintdotNet onto my laptop instead.
> mis categorized a Print Screen screenshot as AI generated
Maybe. Question is, was that a false positive, or merely a bad user-facing message?
Assuming you didn't have any AI-generated images caught in the screenshot (e.g. some advert - plenty of those even in Microsoft apps like Weather, nowadays), what if - and I'm speculating here; I don't know if anyone actually does it yet, but it's so obvious they eventually will -
- what if parts of your screenshot already had an invisible watermark on it, like the ones for tagging AI images? You can imagine an app rendering its window to texture, and embedding a watermark on those pixels before sending it over to the system compositor, and the reasons have nothing to do with AI.
Watermarks are DRM tech. "AI generated" is just a specific kind of metadata that can be put in one, and a huge red herring for discussions.
It's only a matter of time before we'll need to have software for detecting and removing real-time watermarks from display output at OS level. (Unless, of course, platforms decide to add app window live watermarking as a "feature", and given the story with remote attestation, I think it's more than likely.)
Brings me back to the links/lynx days. Was always fun to see how messed up websites would get and that was simple html. Can’t imagine what goes into something like this.
10 years ago we had the same form with my kid’s daycare. They kinda got pissy about it tho as they didn’t want to have to scrub photos they posted to their Facebook and insinuated that your kid may not have as much fun if they have to “separate” them when it comes to photo time.
We told em tough don’t use our kid’s photo. So even if institutions implement this kinda thing almost non want to do it.
