I tried making a Freelancer post, as I used their service once years ago and it was generally pleasant, but I was immediately bombarded with AI Applicants and an AI Recruiter grilling me for answers to its questions. Immediately deleted the post and the entire account.

Where do I go to get a quote for some work done by some actual human beings? I don't need AI, I don't want AI, if someone automate their quoting process then I'm out because I'm not gonna fuckin negotiate with the hallucinating vending machine.

EDIT: ~~I attempted a post on UpWork.com and there is far less AI response than on Freelancer, but I've still declined all offers so far because they failed an important filter question. Still, I've been able to get quotes! FINALLY! Looks like my website could potentially be built for some number between $5,000 and $38,000. Very interesting. As some commenters have suggested, I'll check out some options in local cities, though I doubt I'll find much in my small studio's price range.~~ EDIT2: These quotes are bogus, I think. I've been seeing the same phrases repeat across multiple proposals "AI is a powerful tool but no replacement for creativity". I went through so many proposals and not a single one looked like a real human capable of adhering to a no-ai policy.

I've repaired this worthless older generation Logitech G Hero mouse 5 times in two years, but after its most recent cleaning the 5 pin cable molex snapped and I feel absolutely no desire to keep this creature alive for another moment.

I had a similar cable failure on a Logitech keyboard awhile back, which admittedly I did fix and do plan to keep around because it's hard to find a mechanical keyboard with an aluminium body and also NOT completely covered to the teeth with rainbow LEDs.

Can anybody recommend me a good durable mouse, preferably not aimed at gamers?

This already exists for automatic AI detection with a percentage accuracy, but it doesn't usually include a nightshade indicator. There are also different sites that let you mess with contrast and/or saturation, though not all of them work with URL and no site does all three.

The purpose of the contrast/saturation controls are that it makes noise in the image super visible which can be a dead giveaway for AI, but there is also noise in Nightshade.

The PAS 5500/1150C is capable of producing wafers at a resolution of ≤ 90 nm with a wavelength of 193 nm, according to THIS DOCUMENT. It's a machine from the 90s and gets support through 2035.

I don't know what the actual requirements are for printing more modern chips and wafers, though.

Do you think there is much margin to be had with the more recent machines, as in cost vs benefit? There are no import restrictions in my case, for the record.

EDIT:

I did some digging and probably the answer is "NO" because the first 1GB DDR5 from Hynix was ≤ 50 nm and more modern chips use ≤ 20 nm, while I can't find anything confirming lower resolutions can't I doubt any current plans exist for it.

I'm looking at building a website to host comics, a small blog, and store user credentials and comments. Possibly a store.

I've tried this on one separate occasion over a year ago, first I tried using .net as a full stack but I got frustrated with how none of the tutorials on setting up the database, with some forms to submit to it, worked in the then current versions. After that I attempted to program everything in React, but React Router wasn't working well at the time and in general it's more specialized in single page applications. I have hosted some multipage react sites on Ionos before, domains bought elsewhere, so there is no issues on figuring that part out.

So if you were to build it, what would you use? If you were to pay for something like it, what do you think would be a reasonable price?
