So, when I asked ChatGPT to write a birthday calculator for my kitten for fun, that was Vibe Coding, eh? I'll be sure to put Vibe Coder on my resume.

Took it to a guy. He said it operates on a (I think I've got this right) Magnetophlogistonicchromoerotic Principle, which he also called the Hall Effect. So it's gonna require replacing the kb plate ($250). Bad news: BIOS has no "Power on if plugged in" or "power on if lid opened" options...

I have reported the post to ask the mods to redact the links. Why do you not want them shared? The nature of web dev is generally that it is publicly available.

A orbital mechanics thing. Thrust forward in orbit to gain alt. Thrust upward in orbit to fall back. Thrust backward in orbit to lose alt. Thrust downward in orbit to pull ahead.

There is no wire hinge. I know what those look like, this doesn't have it. The tactile 'click' is provided by the tiny rectangular knob in the button itself (red arrow post 1). An interesting idea. I wonder...

Pretty sure it's powered down. If it were sleeping, it should wake when the lid is opened. Last time this happened - a week ago - I got the power button to work and it booted from from off. Argh. This IS the new machine. :sorry:

I have some of those. Be it known here that user .Scott has advised me to poke around in the crannies of my laptop with dental pick tools. 🙃

The bump sits proud of the plate. (i.e. up) Correct. Far as I can tell, thise four darker areas around the perimeter are rubber pads. I think that fiber is resting on a rubber pad. Yes, these are connections I am more familiar with. This one is not like those at all.

I find no metal surrounding it. It's all one piece - a big plate with a bump on it. If there's any other contact, it looks to my eye like it must be tucked under the keyboard-proper. Well oops. Which hefty metal part? The plate with the bump on it? And connect it to what? What two parts am I...

The thing is, that's all one piece it's a metal plate with a bump in it. And the bump doesn't yield to pressure. If its an electrical contact, I can't figure out where the other part of it might be. Articles and videos I checked out say you can short the power button, but you have to open it up...

Yeah. I do prefer the pacing of the em-dashes - that is how I normally write. Yours is a bit clunky to my ear. I just didn't know my personal style was also the steyle of chatbots.

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure...

:-p It wasn’t until he was almost upon it that he saw the bulk of the vessel moored there. Its silhouette against the moonless sky exposed—to the expert eye of the Shipwright—the unmistakable twin smoke-stacks of an ocean-going packet steamer.

Story is entirely mine, 100%. Story ideaxis mine,100%. I only discovered AI could read and edit stories a few weeks ago. But AI makes a good proof reader. It recommended em-dashes—which have always confused me as to their application—so I changed them. Only to find out that they're a hallmark...

I see a lot of memes and I am fascinated with how they are built. A joke can be told in a million ways; some produce so-so humour, some are brilliantly witty. Here is an example: That comment from the poster is what makes this meme. A less talented writer might have posted something lame, like...
