Yup. Most of the time yes. Parts to repair toys were useful, though. Especially one time when the part that broke was a plastic horse (part of a bigger toy) and there's no way I could make one without the printer, or buy in the scale I needed.

Toys that worked for my kid:

  • kazoo, it's a shitty instrument but pretty fun
  • logic puzzles, not a favourite toy but used once in a while

I know a guy who has all kinds of theories about sentient life in the universe, but noone to talk to about them. It's because they're pretty obvious to anyone who took a philosophy class, and too out there for people who are not interestes in such discussions. I tried to be a conversation partner for him but it always ends up with awkward silence on my part and a monologue on his side at some point.

So, he finally found a sentient being who always knows what to answer in the form of ChatGPT and now they develop his ideas together. I don't think it's bad for him overall, but the last report I got from his conversations with the superbeing was that it told him to write a book about it because he's full of innovative ideas. I hope he lacks persistence to actually write one.

English isn't my first language

As a kid I could never remember the rules (it was called Makao here) whereas the moment I saw Uno I knew kow to play it.

Usability matters.

The game or the corporate behavior?

I'm not recommending Perplexity, but when trying it out I clicked some of the sources it used, and I haven't seen such sites as search results in ages. Articles in personal sites, blogs etc. were not uncommon.

Now I wish for a search engine that would use results from these kinds of sites, without the LLM.

Brouter used to be capable of this, but it was configured with JSON.

I wish for something for summer months, I don't care if the route is longer if I walk in the shade.

Edit: it's a full blown programming language https://brouter.de/brouter/index.html
