- Check all the fluids in your car, and change em / top em up if it’s been a while.
- Pack an emergency car kit. I’m sure there are loads of recommendations online, but I usually have:
- Flashlight
- Battery bank + charging cable for phone
- Spare tire and wrenches (if you’ve got a charged phone, you could instead call for a tow if needed)
- Blanket (it can get surprisingly cold at night, even in the summer)
- Spare oil / coolant (water works as well for coolant in a pinch)
- For misc stuff I like to bring on trips:
- A pack of water. If there’s long stretches with no towns, water is always nice
- Sunglasses
- If you’re going to play stuff off your phone, I’d recommend downloading music and a variety of podcasts to go. Don’t just download 10 episodes from the same channel; mix it up. And mix up the genre too. I usually will have a mix of world news, tech news, stories, and self improvement stuff

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Ahoy, what's the most unhinged wierd shower curtain I can put in a shower.English
51·7 months agoA shower curtain of a very important, and well known document from your country such as the Charter of Rights and Freedoms from Canada, or Declaration of Independence from the US. If you live in a country that still recognizes the British monarch, you could also put up a photo of the king (very common in government and military buildings)
This is what I’ve been trying to accomplish. While I’ve been able to get it to work; I generally have relatively poor performance for gaming.
By chance do you game and have had enough success with the GPU pass through to play? What’s your setup like?
Sorry for the late reply, I had to sit and think on this one for a little bit.
I think there are would be a few things going on when it comes to designing a course to teach critical thinking, nuances, and originality; and they each have their own requirements.
For critical thinking: The main goal is to provide students with a toolbelt for solving various problems. Then instilling the habit of always asking “does this match the expected outcome? What was I expecting?”. So usually courses will be setup so students learn about a tool, practice using the tool, then have a culminating assignment on using all the tools. Ideally, the problems students face at the end require multiple tools to solve.
Nuance mainly naturally comes with exposure to the material from a professional - The way a mechanical engineer may describe building a desk will probably differ greatly compared to a fantasy author. You can also explain definitions and industry standards; but thats really dry. So I try to teach nuances via definitions by mixing in the weird nuances as much as possible with jokes.
Then for originality; I’ve realized I dont actually look for an original idea; but something creative. In a classroom setting, you’re usually learning new things about a subject so a student’s knowledge of that space is usually very limited. Thus, an idea that they’ve never heard about may be original to them, but common for an industry expert.
For teaching
originalitycreativity, I usually provide time to be creative & think, and provide open ended questions as prompts to explore ideas. My courses that require originality usually have it as a part of the culminating assignment at the end where they can apply their knowledge. I’ll also add in time where students can come to me with preliminary ideas and I can provide feedback on whether or not it passes the creative threshold. Not all ideas are original, but I sometimes give a bit of slack if its creative enough.The amount of course overhauling to get around AI really depends on the material being taught. For example, in programming - you teach critical thinking by always testing your code, even with parameters that don’t make sense. For example: Try to add
123 + "skibbidy", and see what the program does.
College professor here. The way I see it, AI is inevitable and it’s here to stay. Fighting against AI would be like trying to fight against pocket calculators in the 70s. It’s coming whether we like it or not, in class and in the real world; so we need to focus on adjusting the curriculums to work with it, rather than against it.
Right now, a lot of course curriculums are predominantly regurgitation based learning: I’ll tell you X, you tell me X but in 3 months. But AI trivializes that way of thinking. If I want to, I can get ChatGPT to generate an entire essay on the impact of ink drying speeds to the colour of grass. Whatever I want, it takes it 10s to write. However, LLMs still struggle with critical thinking, nuances, and originality; which I think is the more important aspect of education.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Updated] Installed New SSD, Stuck Like This While Reimagining -WorkingEnglish
3·7 months agoIt looks like an issue with the file system. I don’t have a steam deck, but are you able to make sure the ssd is seated correctly? Are you able to try inserting a different one?
Not a GUI, but I keep my

Linux@lemmy.ml•Cheap Portable USB Touch Monitors - any experiences?English
4·8 months agoI’ve used a non-touch DisplayLink USB monitor before. You might run into issues with getting it to work properly based on your OS. DisplayLink and Debian were not friends, and took a lot of messing around with drivers and other apps to get it to work. I can’t speak for other OSs though

memes@lemmy.world•I came up with this in the evening and still found it funny in the morning, so here it is.English
34·8 months agoNow, are you pronouncing Female like femboy as “Fem-ale” or are you pronouncing Femboy like Female as “Fee-m’boy”?
I’ve actually been curious about something similar, and unfortunately I don’t have an exact answer.
I’m currently self hosting ArchiveBox which saves a copy of the web page, but I find the UI to be pretty bloated. As an alternative, I’ve been curious about LinkWarden, but I have yet to set it up.
I know those two options aren’t ideal as they don’t directly integrate with NextCloud AFAIK, but they might support your other use cases?
Yeah, 100% a whole separate post on its own. If you ask the same question in a new post, you’ll get more visibility and more answers

801·8 months agoHold up. Let me get this straight - Synology is trying to make their NASs only work with their own proprietary hard drives? Do they not realize that there are boat loads of other companies out there making NASs and Hard Drives?
Who the hell is going to want to buy a Synology NAS now? Ffs, some of these companies are so delusional…


Yes
