Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

    I’ve been using it recently for generating alt text for images (my bots on Mastodon and Aunty Madge on !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com specifically). It’s pretty good at that, although does sometimes give weirdly wrong details - especially the TED Music Bot, if it gets the usual +4 startup screen it says it’s +4 on key F1, instead of 3-plus-1, and tells me the wrong colours for the text and background (I think it may be getting it confused with the C64, bit the colours are right there on the image!). It’s infinitely preferable to having no alt text, which would be the alternative.

    The other thing it’s really good at is summarising articles.

    I’ve also used it when I’ve had an error in my code I can’t track down, or a bracket missing that I can’t figure out. It quite often gives nonsense but I’ve had some success. Usually a normal web search is perfectly adequate though!

    Press Enter.

    I see from your photo that it’s a Lenovo - pressing Enter to interrupt normal startup will give you a menu which then lets you get into the BIOS.

    If it doesn’t go past the “press Enter” point you might need to remove the HDD (or whatever storage it has) and try again. Reconnect once you’ve changed the settings back.
