Codeium replaces my Tabnine

I have been using the Tabnine AI extension for several months. They sent a notice today that I’ll need a $99 a year plan to continue.

I am now giving Codeium a try. Hopefully it is better or at least as good.

Time will tell.

Browsers

I was a long time chrome user, then switched to microsoft-edge. I was oblivious to how those two browsers tracked me all over the internet. I figured it was worth the pain due to some nice features. When Edge’s collections broke for me, I switched to Firefox and realized how freeing it was to not be tracked so thoroughly. Now that Firefox has gone to the dark side, I am testing Brave again.

Bitlocker Lesson Learned

When you buy a windows computer with the OS pre-installed, be sure to record the bitlocker key and keep safe in case you need to repair you windows at a future date. Assuming it arrived with bitlocker encryption.

My hope are to improve my pips playbook.

It will be a busy day today

My day began with a major change at my wife’s workstation. Her NUC refused to reboot after the 4th power outage in the past 4 days. I had to find the docking station and hookup her laptop to drive her dual 27” monitors. She had the nerve to ask me to calm down as I dug through the tangle of cables. Go figure. 😍

But the big news is my dentist appointment was moved up to today. Hurray, I should get another tooth reconstructed, so I’ll go from missing two front teeth to only one.
