We had a cheap LaserJet 1000 printer at my first job back in the day. I think that we printed hundred of thousands of pages and I aways trusted it.

But the InkJet printers sucked, just like everything else HP now. But HP had a good reputation.

do you mean `about:processes`?

`about://performance` doesn't work at least from my FF, but `about:performance` redirects to `about:processes`

I tried to update some files using Claude. I tried to use a combination of positive and negative reinforcement, telling that I was going to earn a coin for each file converted and I was going to use that money to adopt a stray kitten, but for every unsuccessful file, a poor kitten was going to suffer a lot.

I had the impression that it got a little better. After every file converted, it said something along the lines of “Great! We saved another kitten!" It was hilarious.

I usually dream in English - but I don't speak English. But I understand everything thanks to my dream's subtitles.

After more 20 years I still remember a guy that told me "hey! something is wrong! instead of my password I just see asterisks!" when I was training users.

The current president of Mexico, at the beginning flew commercial flights but after a year or two he got tired of the sneering and insults (well deserved).

I had a dog that yawned to say "no".

I don't know if she trained us or I trained her, but she associated stopping doing something with a yawn.

Don't like petting? yawn and the human will stop.

Don't like that food? yawn and we will change it.

Don't like going to the veterinary? yawn - but that never worked.

I loved that dog.
