Oh no. I worked so hard to be able to maintain eye contact in conversations (autistic) and now I’m questioning it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the odds that we are all in a simulation?
3·5 months agoA simulation could be hacked, and that’s really fun to think about
I’m confused by the fuck/fight portion. Is it normal to want to fuck or fight every person who maintains eye contact? Have I been unknowingly threatening/coming into all of my work colleagues?

Technology@lemmy.world•UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boostEnglish
74·5 months ago100%. I’m also trialing Copilot at a medium-sized corpo job and it saves me roughly 12-20 hours of work per week.
I use it often in PowerShell scripting. It occasionally hallucinates and makes up commands, so sometimes it takes a bit of back and forth to get it to do what I want, but it’s still a hundred times easier than writing from scratch or tweaking+combining similar scripts I find online.
Probably my favorite part is being able to ask it “Where did I leave off with John on x issue last week?” And it will remind me that I’m supposed to do x and John is supposed to do y. Or even, “I helped a user with this specific issue six months ago. How did I fix it?” and it pulls the exact email and Teams chats outlining what we did, and I can click the link to open those messages and ensure it didn’t misinterperate. Way easier than digging by hand.
Finally, I absolutely hate making PowerPoints so I’ve been having it make all of my rough drafts from transcription notes in meetings. Super nice time saver.
Something I’m concerned about and playing with this week is pronoun usage in transcripts. I’m working with our LGBTQ ERG to ensure that we can make Copilot use preferred pronouns for everyone. If it can’t, we’ll need to pull back certain features.
It’s far from perfect but it genuinely makes my job a lot easier and I’d hate to lose it. I think it will only get better from here.

2·5 months agoThat’s impossible, the term didn’t exist until 2010 when Jennifer Allen created it because she wanted a “scientific sounding” term to describe the sensation.

8·5 months agoI got these pads for under $10 on Amazon. You just rotate the pads counter-clockwise and they pop off, no tools needed.

4·5 months agoOof. The headband on mine isn’t stock - it came with a bumpy headband that wore down over time. I swapped to this leather headband made from a scrap of recycled leather a few years ago and it has held up perfectly.

6·5 months agoIt’s a toss-up between music (almost entirely Lofi Hiphop), ASMR, podcasts, movies, and gaming. I originally got this set specifically for ASMR because I figured the soundstage would be great (it is) but found them to be well-rounded for every use case.

6·5 months agoDamn, those look sick! Are they over the ear or on-ear? Hard to drive? I might pick up a pair to use at the office since open-back isn’t a great choice for that environment.
Btw the leather band on my Q701 isn’t stock. It’s just scrap leather that I cut to shape when my old headband wore out. Got the scrap for free on a recycling group.












There is an incredibly graphic up-close video available. I strongly recommend that no one watches it. I consider myself very desensitized and it still made me sick.
I will provide a description:
Charlie is struck in the neck slightly to the side and his body immediately goes stiff. Blood gushes strongly from his neck - a liter at least. He slumps. It very much appears that he was immediately killed.
