A movie producer vehemently defending AI as an easy path to emulate the style of some other movie producer is about the saddest thing I’ve read in the last 15 minutes!

Check out this compact vintage look keyboard by
mechanicalkeyboards.com. I chose my favorite Cherry MX Browns and they have it in others. It comes vintage look coiled cable+wireless, a clear plastic cover and extra contrasting keys+puller. It looks over the top with my mini-IBM PC, yes?

Just had an intimidating looking fellow cold calling to clean the gutters. Hilariously they so obviously and desperately need clearing (I had peered into them this morning) but sure as shit not by a cold caller.

Sweet fucking lord alive I would have kicked this stand over
I asked the lady at the booth if this was another "AI agent" and she said no "we prefer the term tiny people". The difference she says is that your tiny person will develop "their own feelings, emotions and core beliefs" which helps them better serve you somehow.
There is no demo available.

Anyway, anyone got any advice for jacketing or conduit that I could stick an indoor rated optical SFP+ cable through so the sun and the cold and the kids don't wreck it?
