The Tokenpocalypse Is Here: Companies Are Scrambling To Stop Spending So Much on AI | Leaked audio from Accenture says a big source of AI token ‘chewing’ is people just converting PDFs to presentatio…

I'll one up you.
Google's "principal evangelist" for Gemini did a 2hr presentation for almost 1,000 people at my company on Google Meet a few weeks ago.
40 mins late due to nobody knowing how to get more than 500 people in a meet.
He then spent 90 minutes showing everyone how to do shit that literally everyone knows how to do with AI nowadays; touch up old photos of your grandparents, make shitty marketing mascots and logos, etc...
Here's an image I took during the presentation. For a laugh, look at the background text:
A C-Suite exec got impatient and asked when we were going to cover how to use agentic tools and he said "oh I've got a little section at the end for that." Ffs
Literally nothing useful happened during this meeting and nearly 1,000 employees were idle for no reason. A complete and utter waste of fucking time. Gemini dude didn't even bother to consider what use cases we might be looking into, he just did a boilerplate ELI5 of AI that would have been outdated in like 2022.
Absolutely insane.

Probably a stupid question, but does there exist a plugin or tool that can remove (or diminish) wah pedal effects from an isolated guitar track?
Try a dynamic EQ or spectral EQ to kill the frequency resonance?
Wah is just extreme EQ resonance swept up and down by the pedal.

Cars didn't need apps in the 1900's and they sure as hell don't need them now.

So be it, settle the score...
But the whole album isn't bad at all. Overplayed, yes. Their best? Nope. Bad? Also nope.
Sad But True, Holier Than Thou, Wherever I May Roam, Through The Never, Of Wolf And Man, and My Friend of Misery are all excellent tracks.

I hated school but I would have preferred to stay one extra mandatory hour at school instead of ever having homework.

Why is leadership valued so much over expertise?

"Manglement". I like that. I'm gonna start using that to refer to the incompetent leadership at my workplace.

As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity
Have Win 10 and was a Windows die hard since I was a kid.
Been running Linux on another drive as my default boot for a year and a half in anticipation of this horseshit and was only hesitant to delete Win because my Fanatec sim racing hardware wasn't supported on Linux.
Welp, turns out hid-fanatecff is a thing. Installed the kernel driver and boom, working Fanatec peripherals. Even my Moza shifter is plug-and-play.
Bye bye Microsoft.

Not caring about digital privacy.

Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds
Its not just notifications. Its also them watching entire videos at high volume in waiting rooms, ads and everything. That or its endless scrolling and completely unrelated audio blasts chained together doing literal psychic damage to everyone around.
It drives me fucking NUTS. The worst part is they're the ones that will be the first to complain about kids these days being glued to their phones.

What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help 🥲)
Honestly, as a newbie to Linux I think the ratio of well documented processes vs. "draw the rest of the fucking owl" is too damn high.
The rule seems to be that CLI familiarity is treated as though its self-evident. The exception is a ground-up documented process with no assumptions of end user knowledge.
If that could be resolved I think it would make the Linux desktop much more appealing to wider demographics.
That said, I'm proud to say that I've migrated my entire home studio over to linux and have not nuked my system yet. Yet... Fortunately I have backups set up.
