Found the pedo!

So do we in Canada… But that doesn’t mean that they are enforced

I don’t see a “and they need to host it”

But allowing/enabling community servers would allow it to stay playable at minimum cost to the developers

It is, if you are just dealing with bare batteries without any kind of protection, but if you are dealing with cellphones/modern smart devices, not so much

Yea, but that wasn’t a great rest. I love Great Scott, but a lot of comments fairly call out his conclusion.

Most (all?)phones don’t charge at full speed to 100% charge, they fast charge when the battery is almoast empty, and charge slower the more full it gets.

Have a 75" display, the size is nice, but still a ways from a theater experience, would really need 95" plus.

Yea, I use calibre to strip it, have my entire collection backed up

Yea, love my kobo

Just bought a new 7" Libra, my only complaint is the colour screen is lower contrast than a pure black and white

Unless your computer is from the 70s, it has a computer.

That said, “always connected, getting firmware updates” is a new thing.

Oh, for sure, it’s just for fun

My entire design goal is making it invisible for my wife, so things just work. As an example, I took our doorbell, and made it smart… Not a smart doorbell, but I have an esphome between the doorbell and the chime, so I can turn the chime off, or I can have our phonea get notified.

Home assistant is the way to go, all run locally on a homePC, I have ZigBee lights and switches automated

An example is my front deck lights turn on at sundown, at 10% brightness, at 11;00 pm they drop to 1%.

If motion is detected they brighten up for a bit. On holidays they have appropriate RFB effects.

All of this is automated, none of it talks to the internet.

My current project is making a harry potter style “clock”, with hands for me, my wife, and kids. Can set up some geofencing. Run off some ESPhome and the HA app, which reports directly to my install, without releasing tracking info.

Yea, I use it for home assistant, it’s amazingly powerful… And so incredibly dumb

It will take my if and statements, and shrunk it to 1/3 the length, while being twice as to robust… While missing that one of the arguments is entirely in the wrong place.

Yea

Vibe coding is for us armatures, who want the occasional hello world

I use it for programing home assistant, since I just can’t get my head around the YAML.

Thanks buddy!

Any chance you have a link,?

The problem is that people like MC and visa would then ban you from sending money TO RaunchyCard.

So it just moves the problem back a step.

I know people complain about big phones, but as a 6’5" guy i LOVE my big screens, and i think i’d struggle with a 6.3" screen. I have a 22U i plan to use for another year or two, and would go larger if i could.

“and then on retrain on that”

Thats called model collapse.

You had me to the /s, NGL

I have definitely learned a lot of Spanish from Duolingo, and while I’m not fluent, i went from being able to count to able to hold some basic conversations with Spanish people i know.
