This was/is a long standing feature request to block podcasts and video podcasts completely. Even worse two years ago unrated podcasts were available to kids. Not quoting the stuff I could find there. Highly unsuitable to kids.

I cannot empirically prove it, but I feel like Opus 5 has become more confidently wrong/inaccurate.
Discussing topics from nuclear physics to daily macOS questions, it gives wrong answers, leaves out important details, counterpoints. Only when specifically asked about the things it got wrong or glossed over it continues and adjusts its reasoning. I feel this is dangerous - before I could explore topics with Claude, now I have to know in advance that something is not correct to get more details.
Maybe something like

I would not be surprised if an easter egg exists on xkcd.com provided you satisfy these requirements.
One of my relatives is one of those micro publishers. Selected works are printed and bound to extremely high standards and materials in a way that their customers are willing to pay 1k-25k+ per book. These editions only have a couple of prints and are mostly made to customer requests.
There is a market for these type of books, albeit a very small one.
Super cool. I was thinking about using a ThinkPad trackpoint instead of a touch pad. But as far as I know there is no water resistant trackpoint device.
Sorry, meant to say it's from the movie script. Need more sleep.
ARTHUR
I'm sorry -- did you just say you need my
brain?
BENJY MOUSE
Yes. To extract the question.
ARTHUR
You can't have my brain. I'm using it.
FRANKY MOUSE
Barely.
BENJY MOUSE
We can replace it if you think it's
important. An electronic brain maybe.
FRANKY MOUSE
A simple one should suffice. Who would
know the difference?
ARTHUR
I would!
FRANKY MOUSE
No, you wouldn't. We could program you not
to.
It's one of the devices I really regret selling.
Pensioners in most western countries are the second most affluent cohort.
Working in IT and AI related fields I made the opposite observation. Taking as HR an example, professionals there wanted to keep the boring reporting tasks and automate the human part, e.g. career guidance, mediation etc.. At the time I could not understand the reason why. In hindsight it was a reward driven decision. Human to human interaction is rarely instantly rewarded. Producing reports on the other hand is measurable and mostly rewarded right away.

It's a good smell. My kids are opening packs and I can totally recall the sensation of opening mtg cards in the 90s.
Fully agree, the led flashlight is ridicously useful.
Garmin watches might fit your requirements.
The best thing about Eneloops do not seem to leak. I can just leave them in rarely used electronic devices without worrying. They might discharge, but so far this has never been a problem.
Same with QiC80 drives. You could hear when the drive failed to read data.
Thank you. I was contemplating the logo but my brain could not make the connection.
As someone succinctly put it: The future is here, it is just very unevenly distributed.
I am still think that transfering state between devices is the next big thing(tm) waiting to happen. I am working on a file on my macbook, now I want to seamslessly move the whole application working on it to my nearby Windows machine and just continue. Seems impossible right now.
I wonder if this was driven by the Palm Pilots in the early 2000s. We beamed contacts, calendar entries, whole apps via IR. At trade shows exhibitors had terminals that would constantly send out contact informations via OBEX (?).
The people that push this agenda reside on secrecy. We need to expose the people involved and let the press do their jobs.
I had "Jugendliche". "Der" can make sense for a male person. But "die" would also work, for the female person.

Chicken egg situation. I would be interested to contribute, but I cannot run it on any of my devices. Alas I am not contributing.
