Lamps aren't female in French, they're feminine but this is purely grammatical and doesn't imply any social gender. It's just part of the word - see "fleuve" and "rivière", both words meaning river, one masculine one feminine.
It's not a person, doesn't have any sort of social characteristics, so it doesn't have a gender any more than a lamp with a very convincing fake beard.
Oh - I tried restarting the app which did make the setting kick in! If that's intended to be necessary it would be nice if it was mentioned on the settings page :)
I'm not going to try and argue that I'm not being lazy, but the actual process of installing the OS is the least onerous part. Software beats it by a mile.
Powerful radio signals will cause interference in anything aerial-like that they pass through. Speaker cables would serve perfectly. For FM signals this would just sound like static or horrible nosie, but AM the interference will sound like a distorted version of the sound signal. Interference in the speaker cables will pass to the speakers... I guess this is the idea, but you'd need a very powerful radio transmitter which would almost certainly be illegal.
I think *LLMs to do everything is the bubble. AI isn't going anywhere, we've just had a little peak of interest thanks to ChatGPT. Midjourney and the like aren't going anywhere, but I'm sure we'll all figure out that LLMs can't really be trusted soon enough.
The effects of late stage capitalism on software: it's expensive and terrible. If those billions were invested purely in quality rather than bloat we could have... Well, who knows. Better spreadsheets I guess.
I can't wait to ask my copilot to change my screen brightness setting only to have it hallucinate a request to share all of my porn with my mother via email.
Why? I've known several people who do this, it's totally fine. I'm sure for some people it would leave you with really greasy hair, but otherwise what's the issue? It doesn't smell or anything if that's your concern.
Nah you don't, I didn't use it for a long time and my hair was great! There's a period after you stop where your hair is greasy, yes, but after ~a month it settles down a lot. You still need to wash it with hot water but, if anything, in my experience it was more resilient to missing a day of washing than it is now that I'm using shampoo/conditioner again.
Edit: I should say though this is probably not for everyone. Depends on your hair type and how healthy your scalp is.
Really thought from the picture that the mother roomba was deploying a swarm of cleaning bots to cover more ground.
