Thank you for making the case for a dew-point ventilator.

It’s absolutely ignorant to refuse monitoring as it would only help to prove a fair election to have them there.

That’s exactly why they’re kicking them out: they want to cast doubt on the fairness of the election, so that they can manufacture excuses to throw out votes in Democrat-leaning ares, make it easier for Trump’s lawsuits challenging the results to succeed, etc.

My home automation consists only of (self-hosted and fully local) Home Assistant and some smart outlets I’ve flashed with ESPHome open-source firmware. I found some Nanoleaf Matter/Thread smart bulbs a few days ago on clearance, but even though I got them super cheap I’m debating on whether to return them because i’m not sure if I can trust them without being able to flash an open-source firmware.

Fun fact: the entire Free Software movement exists because Richard Stallman got pissed off at Xerox one day, for not giving him the source code so he could fix his printer.

I was about to reply to the same thing to another comment about 300 tabs, LOL

It means a change either applied completely and successfully, or not at all (think “atomic transactions” in databases).

We have that already; it’s called a bicycle.

Eventually the cheating will just be moved to a separate air gapped computer running AI on the video feed.

At that point it isn’t cheating anymore; the AI would be legitimately playing the game!

Technically correct, because they weren’t “American” before they landed.

They abandoned the Bible as a real guide long before that, though.

As an IT guy, if I worked with Macs this would be terrible to work with

You know, now that you say it, I’d bet that’s exactly why they did it. They probably want to fuck over companies that would otherwise have racks of Mac Minis (for clusters, colocated servers, etc.) and force them into Mac Studios or Mac Pros instead.

Implying Mac Minis haven’t looked like Apple TVs from the beginning?

Mac Mini (2005-2009):

Apple TV (1^st gen, 2007):

Mac Mini (2010, first redesign after Apple TV came out):

Suggesting that billionaires need to be coerced to support Trump via threats of retribution – as opposed to supporting him willingly because sociopaths are inherently inclined towards fascism – is giving them a lot of credit they don’t deserve.

Also,

Assuming that there are any non-fascists left to react…

As someone who gets greeted alarmingly often by people whose names I ought to remember but don’t (I’m a minor community leader but am bad with names), I’ve wanted a device like this for 20+ years. I’m a little sad about the concept being vilified.

On the other hand, as an advocate for both privacy and Free Software, I always imagined it as being completely self-hosted and only adding people’s names/faces to its database when I’m introduced to them in person. I’m not at all sad about the particular implementation being vilified.

Something something “tower of Babel.”

There’s a reason all of my cars are more than 15 years old.

The difference between a Cybertruck and a Countach is the difference between a self-indulgent wiener and a connoisseur.

I would never own one because of (a) the disrespect for my right to repair and modify and (b) Piss-baby Musk baggage, but I admit I kinda like the styling too.

I’m also a fan of DeLoreans and other '80s sports cars.
