I've never experienced any critical part of a refrigerator break in my >30 years on this earth. Sorry you can't say the same.

The hassle isn't just in connecting it to the Wi-Fi, it's in securing and monitoring it to ensure it stays secure, so that I'm not giving people a foothold into my home network.

I'm glad it worked out for you in that one instance, but I'm not worried enough about my fridge breaking down to where I need to constantly monitor it remotely. Refrigerators are an incredibly old, well developed, reliable technology. The added hassle of an Internet connection isn't worth it to me. If it is to you then fine, but your single anecdote is worth about as much as my hypotheticals, unless we're talking about some novel, untested refrigeration technology.

K, but if you're expecting someone to be at your home to immediately inspect your malfunctioning refrigerator, then we're back to an audible alarm being just as good

The notification on your phone or whatever also isn't super useful if you're many miles away.

I know you didn't ask, but you don't need a weird fork of emacs to run a Clojure REPL, that just works in regular emacs

Thank you, forgot the PS5 has been out for a while lol

I think they're implying a comparison to the PS4. It was notoriously difficult to get a PS4 for months after it's release because it was constantly sold out

Guys, you're thinking about this way too hard. Pictures like this have been floating around the Internet for decades. It's not fancy ai downscaling or any sort of fingers, they've just been JPEGed into oblivion

I'm leaning towards real, there's signs in the background that have coherent text on them, instead of weird, unintelligible, almost-letters.

Can confirm, as someone who spent multiple study halls trying to program a top down shooter on his calculator

ChatGPT is famously bad at the things you'd use a calculator for though

My local place does a seasonal latte with fall spices and ginger syrup, and it's my favorite thing on the menu. It's a good combo of flavors, no shame in that
