What is less obvious and what I would personally like to know is how much pollution remains if you have a hood above your gas stove that exhausts outdoors that is operating while cooking.
I use AI all the time when coding (very useful) and ChatGPT in general is also very useful. Never found Windows co-pilot or Office co-pilot useful for anything.

I decided to cancel anyway because I was still resentful.
Thing is, either $99 or $129 for the Family plan is actually quite reasonable, our family has 5 users. I just don't like giving money to deceitful or disrespectful companies.
If Microsoft had just kept the pricing the same as they had for many years, I almost certainly would have re-subscribed.
So I told Cursor, "please stop saying 'perfect' after executing a task, it's very annoying." Cursor replied something like, "Got it, I understand" and then I saw a pop-up saying it created a memory for this request.
Then immediately after the next task, it declares "Perfect!" (spoiler: it was not perfect.)
It is also true that I am a curmudgeon.
I use both macOS and Windows. I think they are both fine operating systems, each has its own annoyances, but I agree with most of the article's points.
Also, maybe it just in my head, but I think the light from incandescents/halogens look nicer than leds... it feels more natural.
Yes, I think 2700k would have been better, we had originally picked 4100k because we prefered the look.
But the article says that even 2700k leds have a blue light spike (albeit smaller than the 4100ks) since the led source is blue light.

After reading it, I realized that having overhead led lights in our home were possibly contributing to my worsening sleep and general tiredness over the past few years. Granted, we used 4100k lights which are much bluer than 2700k.
We swapped all our leds back to incandescents and halogens (which were a bit tricky to find, but not impossible). Anecdotally, I've been sleeping so much better since, finally feeling well rested and far less stressed. I just feel a tremendous amount of relief after not sleeping well for years.
Also, while we had leds, I had to replace a surprising number of them for burnout/failure, and also experienced flickering, dimming issues, buzzing and more.
Does anyone have any sense of how long it might take for this get out of beta and widely supported by iOS/iPadOS devices?
When I search google or yelp results, it's hard for me to judge who is going to be competent and also reasonabily priced.
How did people find their accountant?
