Guys my dad's 70th birthday is coming up AND he's retiring. 🥳
What would be a good gift for a boomer dad with lots of time and zero hobbies? He's super handy, but not interested in tech.
@Gina Prio 1 is ontstressen. Bv https://www.natuurhuisje.nl

@Gina A wallet or socks.
@MisterMaker Lol those are my yearly christmas presents 🥲

@Gina
Great idea! For what its worth I got this for my Birthday a few years ago which I found very helpful and can recommend. Oh yes, and Happy Retirement to him too 😊
@disisdeguey@healthiswealth @Gina Thisn one looks great. I'll check it too 🤗

@peterkulche He was a carpenter, I think he could be teaching the course 😅
I do remember him building model ships when we were younger, but I'm not sure he'd enjoy working with super small parts anymore. Dude is getting old :'(
@Gina
I'm 66. Two of my sons bought me an airbrush to encourage me to finish painting a Warhammer box set that I started in 1990 so that the eldest who is now 45 could play the game that I'd promised back when he was 10. The ploy is working now that I'm retired 😁

@Gina For anyone handy it can be difficult to recommend tools because they can be super opinionated about them. But…
I really like this Wera ratchet screwdriver and use it all the time. It’s very high quality, feels good in the hand, and because it’s quite expensive it is the sort of thing someone might not buy for themselves. https://www.diy.com/departments/wera-05073660001-kraftform-kompakt-27-ra-1-sb-ratchet-6-bits-wer073660/4013288156051_BQ.prd -

@Gina An acoustic guitar + lessons, a puppy, or carpentry lessons? 🙂

@Gina learning a new language in group lessons worked nicely for my dad. Socially and intellectually empowering.

@humanhorseshoes @Gina not my dad. He cared a lot about mistakes but had a knack for languages and soldered on. He learned Italian because of a nostalgia for 50's canzoni :)

@Gina In our case, it were grandchildren who helped combat boredom.

Ho visto la partita che ha vinto a Dubai contro Jasmine Paolini. A parte la qualità del gioco, non si poteva non tifare per lei vedendo i tifosi che hanno trasformato l'arena in uno stadio di Manila, ben sapendo le condizioni di lavoro che gran parte di loro sopporta (non soltanto) in quei Paesi.

Oh grazie!!

The question is not if, it's when. I am dead serious that we will have never seen a cybersecurity incident like this before, because it can self-mutate at a pace much faster than random mutation in physical viruses.
Workshopped a phrase for it a bit with @quintessence last night: "evolution through artificially intelligent design" of malicious behaviors.
The only solution I can think of once this happens is to shut down network access, particularly to AI service providers, and roll back to software distros based on software that came out a year older and patch our way back up against known CVEs while we try to sort everything out.

The interesting thing about the AI worm being imminent thing is this is the first time where I have said something about AI where most of the well-informed sides of anti-ai and pro-ai friends I have both fully agree with me. If you are paying attention enough, you can see that all the pieces are falling in place.
In fact, the biggest debate is whether this has happened already, and we just haven't seen proof of it yet. I don't know. Given how long things like the xz attack have sat undetected, and given how much chaos of computation is happening in datacenter usage right now, I wouldn't doubt it.

@gian_d_gian il trucchetto del professionista: bisogna imprecare anche quando non è necessario perchè così, quando è effettivamente necessario, sei già a credito.

AFAIK recharging is a 1.5 MegaWatt, 1000 Volts affair. Per single charging point/plug. Such powers and tensions are not only quite dangerous to handle but they will require extensive rebuilding of existing electrical networks
