I fondly remember playing games typed out from books and magazines when I was younger - although I usually tricked my little brother into typing out the game so we could both play it.

Jokes on me though, since now he can type at over 100 wpm (and uses dvorak)

I have found myself using "decent" frequently (especially in code comments) for situations that are technically ok, but far from perfect.

"Passable" is my go to for just below that.

Sometimes it's also interesting how gen-z lingo fills gaps - such as "that's a choice"

I have this workflow with the ytdl-sub docker on my k8 cluster, is pretty powerful at filtering to specific videos and includes sponsorblock - everything is configuration driven, no ui, which can just be dropped into a yaml configmap

I rarely have to touch it unless I'm adding a new playlist or channel

It's been great, the kid can watch any channels on there she wants on her ipad with no ads or sponsored segments

While not at the same level as any large service, I typically spin off a 720p copy of any media as a background process nightly. 720p is pretty small in comparison to 1080p or 4k source files. This way I have an immediate mobile friendly version I can stream from my phone or load up on an ipad without emptying it's storage, even if the quality is markedly lower.

I'd be careful equating heavy with quality - MDF is extremely heavy but not great for longevity.

I read it that smart people are more likely to try and figure out to outsmart a security system not to cheat but just to see if they can.

In my experience at libraries and on college networks, that tracks.

Reading comprehension is still undefeated.

A student who has excess bandwidth after acing a test is more likely to want to poke and explore the limitations of that system than a student who, at capacity, is almost perfect.

Unscientific, but I'd bet there are two major cheating populations: 95%+, and something like 50-75%. By definition there are a lot more of the mid-tier-barely-getting-by cheaters, but they also aren't as smart and are only dangerous to societal trust in aggregate.

Come to think of it, I missed the third major population: pre-meds

This is the way - I just had chatgpt make me a personal use command line utility that just uses the API to mimic chatgpt with whatever model you pass in, saves the running chat as a text file, and gives you a running cost with every prompt. It took about an hour to get something I was happy with, but now I average about a buck a month on it (but I still use the free chatgpt/claude for simpler queries)

Without Linux support it's not cross platform.

I actually was racking my brain since I haven't seen any major nvidia callouts on my DNS block, but I use a 3090.

Then I remembered I game in linux, on steam.

Although they've basically closed source it since release, Jetbrains Projector was a fantastic tool I've used a lot in the past for that - Just spin up a docker container on my home server and pull out my ipad keyboard

Unfortunately, It's hard to tell if JetBrains Gateway will keep all of the remote dev features or not.
