          The arm of my computer chair has been making me unhappy for a while, I've been trying to hold it together with tape as you can see:

          2025-10-30_09-13-42.jpg

          Then it occurred to me to search on Amazon and see if I could get a replacement. I was thinking the whole arm when I started the search, but quickly found listings for just the pad on the top. I hadn't realised that was a separate part, but it seems they are a pretty standard fitting even on my old chair which must be 20 years old (and in good nick apart from the one arm).

          So I bought a pair for about £15, they arrived today:

          What a difference! Slightly thinner and shorter than the old one.

              I have just discovered if you put -ai in the search bar, you don't get a patronising screed mashed together by so-called Intelligence. I shall be using this henceforth! :yay:

                How peculiar. I’ve just tried it and you’re right. Why, by including the letters in the search bar does the answer come up without them? Most odd.

                          I assume you are teasing :biggrin:, but just in case not, say you are looking up watermelons, @Jiffy. Put watermelons in the search bar, followed by -ai, and you won't get any "artificial" information as the first result. :blue thumb:

                            I quite like the AI that gets churned out. It saves me a lot of time researching. I get more sense out of it than talking to some people I know! I do check the sources in the links.
