   @geniusmusing The review sounds very good. I think I should add Orange Pi 5 to my "try this" list. I bought an #Orange_Pi 0, but it tends to overheat, so its utility is limited.

   Hoy estábamos recargando el coche eléctrico mientras hacíamos picnic debajo de un olivo.
   Se nos acerca un señoro a preguntarnos por el coche. Le respondemos amablemente y nos hace un #gasofaexplaining.
   
   - No me gustan los coches eléctricos porque me gusta todo lo antiguo. Lo de siempre.
   - Yo: a mí me gusta lo de siempre: los árboles, los ríos, el aire limpio. Y con el de gasolina no podemos conservarlos.
   - Pero es muy moderno, me gusta lo antiguo ( insiste).

     @CorioPsicologia Es que al señor le gusta lo que es antiguo como él, no antiguo como en «historia» o «geología». Son cosas distintas.

   I should see if there is still a sewing machine repair shop in my town. I'd like to buy an old singer electric from before the parts were made of plastic.

      The Trashcan MacPro eBay prices are into the “why not” price range (<= $300). If you ever wanted one might be a good time to pick one up, if nothing else it makes for an attractive piece of tech art on your desk.

    Recent jumps in the capabilities of LLMs remind me of domestication selecting for mimetic muscles that allow dogs to make facial expressions wolves aren’t capable of, like puppy eyes.

    It doesn’t really change what they are, but it dramatically changes how we respond to them.
