Yes, you are absolutely correct regarding the 20 years. I absolutely got myself confused at the end trying to align the timelines.

Well, not directly in the Iliad, no. His death is not mentioned there. Other sources imply he died at the end of the Trojan war, the last couple of days being the topic of the Iliad.

The Odyssey begins roughly 10 years after the fall of Troy, so yes, Achilles would have been dead almost 10 years, give or take a few weeks or months, depending on who you ask.

For completeness, Odysseus himself had already left his home Ithaca 10 years prior to when the Odyssey starts, so roughly at the same time Troy falls.

I knew someone would’ve made that joke

DeepL uses plenty of LLMs internally and recently laid of around 1000 employees to “shift to AI”.

Get a cheap laser printer. The toner won’t dry out, and you can get a very reliable printer for cheap. The Xpress series from Samsung was cheap and very reliable. Unfortunately, Samsung does not manufacture printers any more and their printer business was bought by HP. I have no idea how new HP models compare to the old ones.

I’d probably look at Brother, a monochrome laser printer can be had for $120, and Brother generally has a good reputation. If you want to print in color, that’ll be more expensive of course. Honestly, I haven’t had a color printer in 11 years and I don’t miss it, but YMMV.

Well, apparently, the print head is pretty complicated to make, so this project uses refillable cartridges with an integrated head.

They can’t be refilled indefinitely, and if HP (manufacturer the project picked) changes the product, deprecates it and eventually stops selling it, the printer will no longer print.

Maybe it could support several cartridge types, but honestly, I don’t understand the target audience. You’ll still be bound to the regular printer ecosystem, and I’m not sure there is so much interesting stuff to modify / hack in the remaining system, which is mostly transport (of paper and the head). These parts also rarely failed for me in printers in the past, so I personally also don’t get the repair argument.

It’s still a good effort, if something comes out of it. If anyone is excited about this, I’d love to hear what you’re looking forward to in this printer.

Where could you even find healthy ingredients for under $10 that will last a few days?

It can’t be beans and rice again, all the time.

I gave it a try.

Impossible to buy a coupon without registration. Registered, then the coupon amount was instead billed to the account I had only registered to be able to gift Tuta to a friend, despite the form saying I was buying a coupon. Support took 3 or 4 days to get back to me with a refund.

Turns out buying coupons is really only supported by third party sellers (linked nowhere on the site). Oh, and several instructions on the FAQ site were wrong, and notifications in the app did not work properly (on different devices).

This was 2 or 3 months ago. Overall, it seems more like a startup then what I’d consider a reliable service provider.

I generally run HGST drives, now part of WD. The *star series is generally great. I get Ultrastar drives, haven’t had a single failure in 20 years.

Workloads are office servers and office NAS applications, 15 to 50 employees.

Ah, a regular article for the “entertainment” category.

Hey, it’s that outfit dude again!

I’m having fun these days, regularly discovering your outfit posts. I like that you’re matching those 3 poses over and over now.

The watch is a good fit. IMHO.

I like the sand /earthen tones much better than the blue, but I feel that while yellow is a good match (I’d wear that same outfit without questioning), a little voice tells me there is an even better option. Not sure if that’s true, but I’d totally mask the yellow shirt in a photo editor and play around with the hue sliders to figure out what color to pull out of the wardrobe.

Personally, I’d also color match the shoes differently and maybe go for a less sporty / less of a sneaker style, but that’s just me.

I’ll have you know a place nearby did a raisin pizza in the 90s, and it was glorious.

Same here. Then the post took me for a ride.

I think males do no weave nets, unless they’re juvenile, but I’m also no expert, I just enjoy the occasional spider here and there.

This is so classic and so 2000s, you could star in a Microsoft ad.

As far as execution goes, I’d say it doesn’t get much better, and I’m imaging the custom tailoring also shows.

Linen is great. The sandals must go.

Yeah, just no
