A Shell-fish use of AI - Exporting Flickr Zips

Imagine, you decide to backup your photos from a website such as flickr, but you find that it generates over a hundred files. Imagine going through and downloading every file manually. Imagine clicking hyperlinks one hundred and sixty eight times. Imagine having so little pressure on your time. That’s where a quick ai prompt will get AI to get a shell script to do the work for you. A shell script is a few lines of code that you run via a dot sh file to do a repetitive task, or chore for you.

The Case for Cables like the Ugreen USB-C — USB Micro B Cable

For years macs have come exclusively with USB-C ports but hard drives have come with usb-a and usb-b adaptors. When ordering an HDD recently I noticed that there is a niche item. The Ugreen USB-C — USB Micro B is the type of niche cable that all mac users could be tempted by. The reason for this is that in the good old days, when you bought a mac, you got useful ports, sd card readers and more.

The bike Handlebar bag – ACTV 100

Cyclists like to be lean and clean when they ride. They don’t like to ride with bags. They prefer to keep spares in the rear pockets of jerseys rather than carry a bag. As a hiker I don’t mind carrying a bag but I decided to try minimalism. Top Tube Bag and Backpack When going for solo rides I was often happy to carry a backpack and use a bag under the top tube.

Charging and Shopping

I know of two chargers that I can use when shopping. One of these costs 2 CHF just to connect, and then the cost of the charge. At the second shopping centre I can plug in for five minutes, or two and a half hours and I will only pay for the charge. Not having a connection fee makes the cheaper option more attractive. If people want to charge quickly they have four fast chargers outdoors, by McDonald’s but if people want to charge slowly then they have the cheaper indoor parking chargers.
