In a pinch one way to deal with memory leaks is to wrap the offending work in a multiprocessing pool, forcing it to live in an ephemeral process

I'd like to know if there's a tool that can automatically replace sensitive information before I paste content into ChatGPT, and then automatically restore the sensitive information when I copy the results from ChatGPT. The logic for both "replacement" and "restoration" should be handled locally on my computer.
I've been thinking about playing with something like this.
I'm curious to what limit you can randomly replace words and reverse it later.
Even with code. Like say take the structure of a big project, but randomly remap words in function names, and to some extent replace business logic with dummy code. Then use cloud LLMs for whatever purpose, and translate back.

I just rooted one that was updated last week. Never say never. Just search for faultmanager...
though it is a cat and mouse game
I'm on webOS24 with 23.20.68, and CanI.RootMy.TV says it was patched in 23.20.68

Why are people still connecting their TVs to the internet?
I thought this is already common wisdom for people in tech for decades to NEVER connect your TV to the internet, not even once.
it's pretty tempting when it's one of the few ways to watch 4k netflix and the likes

*If you have one that hasn't updated itself since last year.
Ya I regret updating mine. The UI both significantly slowed down, and lost the chance to root :(

Happy to answer any questions you have!
Can I use something like syncthing to easily backup the recordings and transcripts off my phone?
Google's Recorder app makes this a big PITA if I don't want to enable upload to cloud storage, there is a very tedious manual way to export recordings.
I really just want plain old data and to be able to copy or delete files via the filesystem. And not be required to use some cloud service.

They haven't really added anything to Office since 2013, the last pre-subscription version. There were massive changes between Office 98 and 2013, including entirely new programs like OneNote. They just found a way to get their customers to rebuy the same product every year.
Same thing happened with Adobe and CS6; feature development slowed to a crawl after the change to a subscription.
now I wanna try running office 2013 in wine
running a VM just for occasional office use is annoying to deal with
edit: activation is probs the main issue

Cool to see C++ reflection getting somewhere.
> The Docker image includes clang-p2996, Bloomberg’s experimental Clang fork that implements the reflection proposal. As P2996 moves toward standardization, expect this to land in mainline compilers.
Possible to use that C++26 compiler just to do code generation for the binding code, and then use any other compiler for your actual build? I suppose alternatively could use a parser. Is the reflection code easy to work with in comparison? A year or two ago I spent some hours pulling my hair out trying to do some reflection in C++ until I gave up and spent the 20mins needed to write a python script to read my source files and do the code generation I needed.

This is really cool, the audio thing estimating how many voices are nearby is sort of terrifying
Wdym, the thing that lists how many speech synthesis voices are available?
