ChatGPT says "The label "SEX-0" is visible on the PCB. This could be the manufacturer’s part number or a designator for the module."

The only labels on the board are "0x38" which ChatGPT was reading upside-down.

It took me a minute to figure out what my ChatGPT bot was talking about.

I made this custom GPT that analyzes PCBs (as a precursor to my next one for hardware hacking recon) and determines the board's functions based on the components, traces, etc. and so far I've had pretty good results with it.

Sometimes when I take a shower I think about our amazing modern convenience of having a hot mini waterfall, on demand, in the middle of winter, where in complete privacy we can bathe and question our life choices.

On Windows Server 2025, these are the quick-access settings available. Which of those would you ever use on a server?

Is it regifting if someone gives you money for Christmas and you buy Christmas gifts with it?

Confession: sometimes when installing a hard drive I only screw in 3 out of the 4 screws they give you.

I never imagined that in 2024 I'd have to intentionally use awkward phrasing, improper use of punctuation, and generally mess up my writing to not sound AI; polished and articulate is the new uncanny valley.

Gotta roughen it up, can't write good, I'm not a robot.

Job searches would be so much easier if LinkedIn had a swipe feature to match job seekers and employers. If I swiped left, you can't contact me. If they swiped left, I can't apply for it.

At this point I feel like we should make a nomination bingo sheet for this next administration. Here are the names I want to add:

Joe Exotic
Kevin Spacey
Steven Seagal
Gary Busey

Also this.

Table that shows that a gigabit network connection can be 25-26% plus additional overhead for VPN, HTTPS, etc.

This is pretty interesting, I knew there was overhead, but not THAT much overhead. (AI-generated so might not be 100% accurate).

I just watched my wife get out the ice cream and a jar of fudge. She got a single spoonful of ice cream, dropped it into the fudge, then walked off.

All you need is a few year magnets, some basic nouns, and an exclamation point.

What we need is a fridge poetry magnets set but for coming up with long passwords.

I'm also using it to test out some security prompts because ChatGPT is exceptionally bad at protecting custom instructions and files.

What started out as testing the limits of #ChatGPT ended up as a rabbit hole of prompts that resulted in my humor analyzer GPT that is surprisingly good. You can try it out if you have a paid plan:

Die Hard the musical

I was just playing around at first but now I need to see this musical made.

If I've learned anything from movies, it's that if you're being followed, take out your SIM card and stomp on it. Then after your phone is off with no SIM card stomp on it too.

In movies, HTML hacks you.

Paint is growing

I used this paint for months ago. Since then it... grew.

There's such a fine line between not enough milk in oatmeal and oatmeal soup.

It's pretty amazing us humans live as long as we do. I mean what other species bites their own tongue? Or stubs their toe on a piece of furniture? Or trips on a perfectly flat surface.
But I guess at least we don't fly into glass windows haha stupid birds.

In the 28 years it has been around, I don't think I have ever sent anything via the Sent To menu in Windows.

I think that toolbag floating around in space is the most relatable thing I have seen all month.

I had ChatGPT help me write up a script to fight a traffic ticket. My argument to the prosecutor was apparently good enough that he's now requesting the cop's video and taking it to trial.
