Never seen the hecto- prefix used in the wild before. Definitely going to start using that too, I’ve always hated the nonspecificity in multi-millionaire.

Exactly, Intel dug their heels in and gave us quad core after quad core for the best part of 10 years whilst AMD was floundering around until Ryzen Gen 1 came along. No innovation just because they didn’t have to.

Had this happen this week at a Tesco Express. The only guy on the register had to call someone out from the back to remove the double-scanned Irn-Bru.

What made it extra awkward was that the staff door was directly down the aisle from the self-checkout, so I could see the employee marching down the aisle so they could deal with this shit and get back to whatever they were doing. I want those 2 minutes of my life back.

I went on Grokipedia once, months after launch out of curiosity. I found an error in the first article I looked at (the city that I live in). It was in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the History section.

It conflated erroneously King William the Lion of Alba and King William the Conqueror of England. They weren’t even alive in the same century.

I can absolutely follow the logic of how Grok would make the error. Both Kings, both William, both the first of their name in their respective kingdoms, both notable and significant in their own right, but definitely not the same person.

The reason I first used it was they had a way to bypass the limited list of extensions that Mozilla allowed to be installed but this is no longer an issue so no real idea what the benefit is anymore. I’d guess at disabled telemetry but don’t quote me on that.

I switched to Ironfox a while back but still keep fennec around for the occasional site that Ironfox breaks.

I live less than 30 miles away from 3 of the world’s most famous golf courses and I have literally zero interest in the sport. The closest one is just something I cycle through occasionally.
