Without chatGPT I could not have repaired things where I simply threw the datasheet at it and got code to reprogram it, like for an BMS. I could not digitize data streams by sniffing I2C. I could not use computer vision to decode a display. I could not make control and data logging interfaces for machines, turning decade old shit into good-as-new just based on their serial interface. Etc. Etc.

It is for a cabinet key, the thing itself is a quarter-turn lock with square insert.

What kind of nonsense comparison is that? Somewhat off topic, borderline straw man.

People still have their job, better tools enable people to do more things in their free time. Some even switch professions later on, once they have enough experience. Lowering the bar (invest, skill, …) is simply a good thing.

How fast could a group of 5 people that want to remove all nodes in the area need to do so? Are they all listed on a map with their location?

Everyone could always learn woodworking, weaving, sewing, smithing, … that is not an argument. The point is that better tools make it easier to learn/perform/perfect these skills. Today anyone with a little torch and a hammer can play around with steel. 300 years ago you had to at least take on an apprenticeship to ever get to do that. Sewing with a sewing machine is so much faster, there is not much time to invest before you can make your own clothes.

Not everyone has 100s of hours free time to sink into this and that skill “the purist way”. Any tool that makes the learning curve more shallow and/or the process itself easier/cheaper/… helps democratizing these things.

You argue as if everyone needs to be a super duper software architect, while most people just want to create some tool or game or whatever they think of, just for themselves.

He is 57, he did not work 57 years, perhaps 40.

a short person’s shoulder height is around the same level as your belly

How short and how tall are these people for that to be the case? The belly is somewhere like 60 % of the height, so a very tall person of 6’5" (195 cm) has it at 120 cm, for that to be shoulder height we are looking at what, below 150 cm?

What if he is free in one but convicted in the other? How does that work? Super odd.

Google it for the specific device you have, especially how to open it.

Resetting the BIOS involves removing the internal CR2032 battery. Not a charged (main) battery.

How can it never be the best option? Nonsense.

Got some more pixels?

The last point is really not an argument - even if he ended up getting killed too. You could, for example, say he wanted to save others and make him an hero.

Hm? When does that happen?

They are not up 113 % daily, they are up 113 % from 2023 to 2025. Up 113 % daily would explode into ~infinity quickly.

The what now?

This is Lemmy, bitching about AI is the norm.

You have a phone to call your phone?

It is right there?

You could say the same about limitations in skill or material properties or…
