I have no problem with learning how to fish; my problem is that I cannot find people who can teach me.

It’s annoying that the controllers on my Oculus Quest are notifying me about low battery for a week or even two weeks before it completely dies. I would understand if it was a day or two days, but look, I can use the controller for the whole week, or even two weeks. Such a waste of batteries.

I cancel my ChatGPT subscription. I think it’s ridiculous to pay $20/month for that level of quality.

Can I have a grey mode? I think dark mode is too harsh, and white mode is also too harsh. I want a grey mode.

Touch screen stopped working on my Steam Deck. This is a pretty good instruction on how to fix it: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/1/3186864655202361138/?l=schinese&ctp=2

  • Power the Steam Deck down normally (choose Shut Down from the Power menu)
  • Hold down the Volume+ button and press the power button. The Steam Deck should boot into the BIOS menu.
  • Using the D-Pad and A to select, navigate to “Setup Utility”
  • Navigate to the Power Menu
  • Choose Battery storage mode, and confirm.

You should see the Steam Deck power off, and the power LED will blink three times to confirm battery storage mode.

Plug the Steam Deck in to the supplied power supply. Turn on the Steam Deck.

Did OpenAI explicitly program GPT-5 to have aggravating replies? Because at some point, I understand it’s useless to continue talking and let’s go with a different approach and try to find different ways to get to the point, but I keep arguing with the AI even though I understand it’s a complete waste of time.

It’s surprising that in C++, an enum class is default-initialized to 0, even if no enumerator is explicitly assigned the value 0. In the code below, this behavior causes the default-constructed enum class A to have an invalid value, leading the program to return -1.

enum class A { a = 100, b = 200};

auto main()->int
{
    auto a = A{};
    switch (a)
    {
     case A::a: return 100;
     case A::b: return 200;
    }
    return -1;
}

I often use ChatGPT for simple proofreading, it cannot even do that!

Me: In C++, there is always a more elegant way than using goto. for, while, continue, break are your friends. Note: In C++, C is a different beast, it does not have RAII. Proofread.

ChatGPT: In C++, there is almost always a more elegant alternative to using goto. Constructs like for, while, continue, and break are your friends.

Note: C++ and C are different beasts—C++ has RAII, while C does not.

What the f*** is that hot garbage? Why “almost always”?!!!! Note section is completely rephrased.

Someone made version controlling tool jj - I am scared for the future; we already have a huge zoo of languages, and now people will start inventing version controlling tools.

GPT-5 is so bad.

I asked for an app that could rsync photos from my iPhone to my Linux machine. It gave me some suggestions, but the apps were too old and didn’t work with modern authentication. So I said, “Forget about rsync as a tool—what I actually want is an rsync-like experience.” GPT-5 then gave me another list of suggestions, with examples of how to use them. But at the end of each example it cheerfully added, “And after this, you can run rsync.” That made no sense at all!

Another time, it suggested using YAML and some algorithmic way to process English text. I pointed out that we could just use a Large Language Model (LLM) instead of regex and keyword parsing. That way, we wouldn’t even need YAML—we could just write the rules in plain English. GPT-5 agreed… but then still suggested using YAML as part of the prompt! Grrr…

Avoid Local Garage Door Repair – This company is a scam.

They charged us over $2,000 just to replace the garage door tension springs. Decide for yourself if that’s a fair price.

Their tactic is simple: they show up, disassemble everything, and then hit you with an outrageous quote. While you’re scrambling to make sense of it and trying to check prices online, they quickly swap out the springs. If you question them, they feed you nonsense—like claiming Amazon’s tension springs are “Chinese” and will fail within 6–12 months.
