What bill?

111 isn’t an urgent line (if it’s genuinely an emergency go to A&E or call 999) and from personal experience it takes hours for them to get back to you, at which point you’ve either already told them your symptoms have got worse, still had no call back and gone to A&E or they get back to you eventually and tell you that you might be fine, but should go to the hospital anyway and sit in a queue for 6 hours so they can make sure it’s not actually something serious. NHS 111 is just as useless as the NHS Direct it replaced

For GP appointments that are released on the day, in the morning, you can avoid waiting in a long call queue to the GP by booking the appointment through the NHS app if your GP supports it.

I wonder if the “metal cubes” were tungsten cubes that the AI was just pricing as if it was some cheap steel cube or something

You can’t even set a timer with Gemini without enabling Gemini app activity (you used to be able to before, but that changed many months ago). This means it can’t even replicate the basic functionality of assistant out of the box, without agreeing to give Google even more rights to your data, in no way would I consider it a replacement unless it’s able to fulfil the basic functionality of assistant with the same permissions.

Readeck also has a KOReader integration via OPDS catalogue

From what I’ve seen recently one of the things it did was use a fake email function they gave it to try to whistleblow to a government agency about issues with some medical testing or something

Unlimited, but with reduced upload speed after 5TB. It’s Jottacloud for €119 per year. I use it with rclone which lets me encrypt everything myself so I don’t have to trust the provider.

A VM would be a good way to try out different distros & desktop environments, and to get some familiarity with Linux. For actually gaming I would install the OS on bare metal (you could dual boot if you wanted to keep windows installed as a backup).

I mean the original anti-piracy ad said you wouldn’t steal a car, because they were trying to equate digital piracy with physical theft, it’s the meme edits that say you wouldn’t download a car

Something like almost half of generic medications are made in India.

Is this for cancer drugs or generics in general? Only asking because most of the generics I see in the UK are made here, but that might be because I’ve only seen the more common medications and not stuff like cancer drugs.

Hope you manage to beat the cancer!

For security disable password authentication - use public key instead, disable root login via ssh - use sudo or su from another user.

To reduce the number of attempts of others trying to get in change the ssh port and/or set-up fail2ban.

You could also set a firewall rule to only allow ssh from your IP address, if you have a static address at home and only need access from there, or have a way to VPN into your home network. Make sure you have a static address if you do this though, you don’t want your IP to change and be left locked out of your server.

Yeah, it would be insane not to buy a Tesla self-driving taxi, they pay for themselves

Nowadays I see them mostly used by creators for sponsor or product links, probably because it lets them track how many people click on it and when

Fair enough, I agree the situation is mildly infuriating, whatever the reason you wanted it. A lot of restaurant/pub chains over here will throw out extra food if they prepped too much, rather than letting staff take it, probably because they don’t want people creating waste on purpose but also don’t want to spend the minimal effort required to stop people abusing the system if they allowed people to take excess food home. The distrust of low paid workers leads to most stores being unable to deal with special requests unless you are speaking to the manager and I don’t know where I’m going with this…

If it’s so much effort to try and get fat trimmings from butchers, why not just buy a block of lard from the supermarket?

High discharge 18650s can provide 20-30 amps, doubt the lamp needs that much current if it’s powered off older battery tech
