I used ChatGPT a lot last school year to help me generate text materials for my computer science classes. I always included a note to show where the content came from. I’m playing around with making watchOS apps now, with a lot of help from ChatGPT, and I will credit it in source code comments.

This was my first time changing the oil on any vehicle. The biggest challenge was seeing and accessing the filter and drain plug and getting tools in there.

You are a very productive person who makes good use of his time.

I really enjoy the PlayStation 5 VR2 game horizon call of the mountain.

I have an electric lawnmower, which I love except for managing the electric cord. I wish I had bought one with a battery.

Once my Roomba locked me out of the house by pushing Into place a wooden cylindrical rod that I used to secure my back sliding door closed.

Fun idea! Did you think of using the actual pitches that conventional windchimes use and maybe try to more closely mimic the rhythms?

GitHub - dcbriccetti/room-sound-monitor: Shows a graphical representation of sound levels from multiple micro:bit microphones placed around a room. Shows a graphical representation of sound levels from multiple micro:bit microphones placed around a room. - dcbriccetti/room-sound-monitor

Not well documented yet, but a work in progress:

My students are noisy sometimes and I want a way to monitor sound levels in a room (in up to 25 locations).

I’m looking for a habit tracking app like Fabulous but that keeps personal information only on the device. Strange opt-out here:

“What are my opt-out rights?

You may opt-out of anonymous analytics collection by Streaks by uninstalling the app using the standard iOS app uninstall process.”
