This might be a hot take for multiple reasons, but my impression is that AI "prompt engineering" is the same sort of discipline as "SEO."
To be clear, I hold a low opinion of SEO; it's an adversarial skill-set that exists to exploit and subvert arbitrary behaviors by search engines that are likely to be changed and fortified against attempts at such gaming at any moment. At least that's how it started; the reality may be subtly different today (i.e., there are strategies to use the tools well).

I was feeling a little concerned that I've been feeling dizzy when getting out of my truck on the trip from Eugene to Vegas. I just passed a sign near Tonopah that indicates that the elevation is 6,279 feet.
That may be a factor.

Apparently enabling 6Ghz on a WiFi network breaks everything not made in the last year or two. And disabling it doesn't resolve anything for those devices (Amazon Fire, Echo, Samsung TVs, even Raspberry Pi).
Unifi really should have a big red indicator saying "DANGER" in their interface. I just threw a first gen Echo in the trash because even after a factory reset, it's apparently blacklisted now ("device not registered") and I'd have to call Amazon to fix it.

It makes me viscerally angry when email providers like Google and Microsoft make it difficult to find settings to block image loading in emails because they've "made it safe" by proxying the images. Screw you. I don't want any indication at all sent to an email sender that I've opened their email. Get f@cked.
Just spent 20 minutes finding the obscure setting to "not trust all senders" in the "new" Outlook on my Windows laptop. It literally makes me angry.
I need a chamomile tea or something.

@npub1t2c…d0pp my single-user server was set to "Approval Required" so that I could let friends sign up if they were so inclined. I checked and had a request for a 'yqqwe' user in my pending list. I rejected it and disabled registrations altogether.
