Uh, nope, you’re putting words in my mouth. It’s not realistic to worry about mitigating that kind of stuff when we can’t even prevent ourselves from cooking ourselves, and several of the things you listed don’t even have plausible technical solutions right now. Nice try, though.
a planetary catastrophe out of our control
You’re still describing climate change. Science fiction ideas are fun to think about but our own inability to live harmoniously with nature is going to kill us off before any of those problems become relevant.
Counterpoint, if you have two monitors with different DPI scaling, window dimensions get butchered when moving between them
This looks awesome. Posting so I can read it later - the Mbin mobile site absolutely butchers your table, and I feel like submitting a bug report~
To quote Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 3, Line 87: “No”.

Do I think it’s generally useful? No, not at all.
But for very specific purposes it’s worth considering as an option.
Text-to-image generation has been worth it to get a jumping-off point for a sketch, or to get a rough portrait for a D&D character.
Regular old ChatGPT has been good on a couple occasions for humor (again D&D related; I asked it for a “help wanted” ad in the style of newspaper personals and the result was hilariously campy)
In terms of actual problem solving… There have been a couple instances where, when Google or Stack Overflow haven’t helped, I’ve asked it for troubleshooting ideas as a last resort. It did manage to pinpoint the issue once, but usually it just ends up that one of the topics or strategies it floats prove to be useful after further investigation. I would never trust anything factual without verifying, or copy/paste code from it directly though.
I have no idea if it’s an aged sauce. Regardless, I meant it was opened many many years prior
Based on your post, you’re not autistic, you’re just a writer.
It feels like something in the genre of the paradox of tolerance, where the most empathetic and pacifistic people are the people best positioned to remove shitters from the gene pool responsibly
It separated out to half clear vinegar and half… Red
You had to shake it back together but if anything it was even hotter than usual. It was wild
Vinegar based hot sauces are basically immortal; I’ve had Tabasco that was like 10 years old before
Nintendo W?
That’s actually really cool!
I seriously hope you got the job.
That sounds suspiciously like doing actual work for them.
you are probably better off taking it to a computer repair shop to have the issue fixed or replaced, for peace of mind and probably liability reasons
Raspberry Pis and other microcomputers can be had for pretty cheap, and they can be put to a surprising variety of tasks. You need to be a bit of a jack of all trades to fully embrace that DIY element, but I’d bet that showing off a project that you mostly built yourself would be seen as futuristic by most people.
