"monkey jpegs": NFT

"hodl" - I think r/WallStreetBets came up with that. Perhaps not - its too ubiquitous, similar to teh. r/WSB did originate the eating green crayons thing along with smooth brain monkeys etc

I simply mixed and matched and riffed in an old school "lock up your daughter" meme.

Sorry, I don't have a Spongebob illustration. I do words.

HODL came from a drunk post on bitcoin talk.

Dear DDG, I genuinely, truly appreciate an AI filter on images.

But for the love of Bob, would you please enable absolute operands ("" or +) in image searching? It's been on your todo list for over a decade.

This bugs me no end. Image search is so challenging to use because the results are a vague interpretation of what you ask for, and don't try to be more descriptive because that's just more words to throw in the mix of results

You can run a script to scoop up the search points for desktop and mobile to skip the monkey work of collecting points. It won't get the extra points for doing other reward tasks.

My PC doesn't have TPM. It's old, but still perfectly fine to run for my needs. I use Unreal 5, play games, watch videos. Could run quicker but it's no landfill device. I don't think it'll suddenly fall to pieces come October so I wasn't looking to scrap it by then.

Looks like the IoT LTSC version will work. I'm still hoping that Microsoft relent on this move. Last I checked Windows 10 is still a very popular OS and I find it unlikely that people are going to update if they haven't already. If some kind of WannaCry attack happens due to a security hole it's going to look bad on them.

Also, as a kinda dark humor moment. October 14th is the retirement day of Windows 10, which is also international e-waste day. Unless I missed the memo, I thought it was an effort to prevent creating e-waste not one of planned obsolescence to try and make more.

Obviously they don't put the weight on the product main page, that is absolutely heavy.

The Helinox Chair Zero is the standard by which all backpacking chairs are compared https://helinox.com/products/chair-zero - and it is 1 lb 1 oz.

And then some people mod these chairs, like this similar one that was reduced to 13 oz. https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/chair-enlightening...

When I heard that a friend had bought one of these for a week long canoe trip we were going on I thought it was absurd. The idea of taking such a home comfort on a camping trip went against everything I felt camping stood for. Then I tried it, then I bought one, now I take it on every camping trip I make.

It's so light it adds basically nothing to your carry weight. It takes seconds to put together. It's insanely comfortable. Kicking back in it after a long day's hike or canoe whilst prodding at the camp fire is such a joy.

I put it alongside my thermarest as a thing I never felt I'd ever buy and now use on every trip.

I only read about this recently. Such a dark premise, which I could imagine being an incredibly powerful movie if shot well, but missing the mark by even an inch would likely just end up to be an offensive mess. I presumed this movie was a case of the latter.

I find that using ways to step away from code help think things through in ways to overcome roadblocks. One recent trick I've found is rubber duck my issue into ChatGPT, which I used to do in a notepad (either digital or physical), the added advantage of ChatGPT is I can hit Enter once I'm done with my thoughts and get a response, which might have a solution in it.

I don't know if Discord fixed it as I haven't checked in a few years, but I tinkered with scraping some public Discords and I found that I could see hidden channels, not the data, but the channel names, which could do things like reveal to me if the same Discord was used for in-house development if it was a product Discord. Not great.
