100%. I’m also trialing Copilot at a medium-sized corpo job and it saves me roughly 12-20 hours of work per week.

I use it often in PowerShell scripting. It occasionally hallucinates and makes up commands, so sometimes it takes a bit of back and forth to get it to do what I want, but it’s still a hundred times easier than writing from scratch or tweaking+combining similar scripts I find online.

Probably my favorite part is being able to ask it “Where did I leave off with John on x issue last week?” And it will remind me that I’m supposed to do x and John is supposed to do y. Or even, “I helped a user with this specific issue six months ago. How did I fix it?” and it pulls the exact email and Teams chats outlining what we did, and I can click the link to open those messages and ensure it didn’t misinterperate. Way easier than digging by hand.

Finally, I absolutely hate making PowerPoints so I’ve been having it make all of my rough drafts from transcription notes in meetings. Super nice time saver.

Something I’m concerned about and playing with this week is pronoun usage in transcripts. I’m working with our LGBTQ ERG to ensure that we can make Copilot use preferred pronouns for everyone. If it can’t, we’ll need to pull back certain features.

It’s far from perfect but it genuinely makes my job a lot easier and I’d hate to lose it. I think it will only get better from here.

“Transgenders” is not a word. Please use “transgender people” or something similar.

Aw ok, much love ❤️

That’s impossible, the term didn’t exist until 2010 when Jennifer Allen created it because she wanted a “scientific sounding” term to describe the sensation.

Oh. :( That wasn’t very friendly.

For sure, I’ve replaced the cable on this set a few times due to getting tangled in chair wheels or my kitten chewing on the cord

I got these pads for under $10 on Amazon. You just rotate the pads counter-clockwise and they pop off, no tools needed.

Oof. The headband on mine isn’t stock - it came with a bumpy headband that wore down over time. I swapped to this leather headband made from a scrap of recycled leather a few years ago and it has held up perfectly.

Huh?

The term ASMR was coined in 2010. I think it didn’t really catch on until 2011.

The shooter was trans. Heads up to the trans homies to be cautious and vigilant in the coming days, as right-wing media will almost certainly lean into to this and it could cause backlash against the trans community.

Close. I originally got them exclusively for ASMR listening, when ASMR was a brand new concept.

Do you happen to have a link to the replacement elastic? I had no idea that it could be replaced

Damn. Maybe snag a used set on Ebay?

Damn, those look sick! Are they over the ear or on-ear? Hard to drive? I might pick up a pair to use at the office since open-back isn’t a great choice for that environment.

Btw the leather band on my Q701 isn’t stock. It’s just scrap leather that I cut to shape when my old headband wore out. Got the scrap for free on a recycling group.

Those are basically a closed-back version of mine, right? They look badass.

Not a full hosting solution, but I use PerfectViewer on Android and it’s wonderful. Connects right into my server and displays all of my books and Manga on a shelf layout. It only syncs to my server locally because I don’t have a VPN to my home configured, but it does allow downloading which is handy when I’m traveling. I’m not sure if it has every feature you’re looking for but it might be worth checking out.

I was homeless in Phoenix in 2008 and it was beyond brutal. The heat was so intense that the soles of my shoes partially melted one day. I used to break into apartment complex pools just to cool down. And then monsoon season is a whole other beast.

I can only speculate, but maybe because TikTok and other social media algorithms were one of the main ways that the election was influenced by bad actors.
