I wouldn't mind help with grocery orders. I like to check which apples are on special and maybe buy a different variety from normal depending on the price.
My grocery store makes this really tedious because they don't have a feature to sort by price per pound. So I have a stupid ritual where I ctrl-F "($0." and repeatedly ctrl-G to see all the apples under $1/pound. Then I do it again with ctrl-F "($1." to see the ones in the $1-$2/pound price range. And there are several other products with similar annoying processes.
If an AI could just do that for me, it would save me time. I don't actually think present-day AI would do it reliably enough, but the concept sounds fine.

I just look at the flyers that come in the Sunday newspaper. Problem solved in under 30 seconds with near-zero effort.
You could probably do it with timing tricks related to video refresh. Wait until the monitor has finished refreshing, then draw the text into the framebuffer. Leave the text there a short while, but erase it before the monitor starts refreshing again. Repeat.
The screenshot would have a chance of capturing the text, depending on exactly when the screenshot pulls pixel data out of the framebuffer.
This might not work on certain devices. You need access to the refreshing timing information. The capture mechanism used for screenshots might also vary.
> Appearing on Benny Johnson’s podcast on Wednesday, Carr suggested that the FCC has “remedies we can look at.”
> “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”
An absolutely unmistakable direct threat from the chairman of the FCC.
As usual, simply reading the quote would quickly show that you're wrong:
> We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it
"My side" is Americans who think political violence is disgusting.
Acknowledging your responsibility doesn't make the problem go away. It's still better to have extra layers of protection.
I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to drive safely, and I take that responsibility seriously. But I still wear a seat belt and carry auto insurance.
They can also improve that balance by adjusting the qualifying times from year to year, and they do.
They could even make a projection of future cutoff times and take that into account when setting the baseline qualifying times. In other words, be a little more generous with the 18-34 group initially knowing that you'll like penalize them more with your one-size-fits-all cutoff. I'm not sure if they do that.
Also, the current qualifying times are all multiples of 5 minutes. If they really want to improve balance between groups, the low-hanging fruit is to make those more granular.
Hmm, if you have an appliance (like a clothes dryer) with a dedicated circuit, it seems like you could solve this by connecting there. If you have the balcony solar device plug into the wall and the appliance plug into the balcony solar device, then you can easily put an additional circuit breaker where it's needed.
I attribute some of it to the Great Depression. My grandparents grew up during it, and it had an effect on them. They never wanted to get rid of anything because what if times got really hard again? You might be so poor that you couldn't reacquire what you got rid of.
They lived a comfortable middle class life, and that fear never materialized. But they were still prepared in case it did. And they passed that kind of thinking on to the next generation.
