Are the glasses lens telephoto?

Those are the only ones the article says get damaged by the lidar

Wait you guys upgrade?

Pretty much need to learn to run your own in-stock bot with instant notifications and preload your payment information on the website to stand a chance

I had to back in… 2022? To get a 4090 off the wings of the pandemic 3090/6900xt shortages. It’s unfortunately the world be live in now

Idk if it’s still there but check out rasberry Pi’s project forums for how tos, that’s how I got mine running

HomeAssistant has a calendar built in

Can likely rig it up to notify of events under whatever parameters you want via push notifications

I keep both newpipe and grayjay on my devices for when the other breaks

Tend to favor grayjay though because for whatever reason it usually works better for me

Apparently there was some fallout with futo and him

Not sure at all about the details, but yeah he definitely backed them. Not sure if he still does though

😐

Go look up studies from reputable researchers in universities on air based drying versus physical is all I can recommend if you’re skeptic of the method (not product manufacturers)

People who think of the topic way more than I care to have concluded it’s the appropriate and superior method because they add it into their products when they otherwise don’t have to, and I don’t have the concern to persue it beyond that

I can tell you no more than I have used both methods and aside from patting down to make sure I’m all clean, I utilize all the tools available on my bidet fully, and that it’s a far superior experience than not doing so

I can also state that 5 people who have used my bidet while at my home convinced themselves to get the same one having had experienced it themselves without my having encouraged it in any capacity beyond stating “yeah it’s nice” when it’s commented on…

I mean… who really wants to deeply discuss the topic, especially in person, beyond that

The blower built into the bidet

The better question is what are you checking to make sure it’s all clean with

The real irony is the guy couldn’t get those dogs away from them even with a gun

The article says police dispersed them with pepper spray, so a chemical deterrent may have saved his wife’s life there if he had it over or as well as the revolver

There are plenty of bullshit dog mauls person stories here too

Last year one that stood out to me was an elderly couple in St. Louis near a park were sitting outside in their back yard and a pack of dogs escaped and attacked them. They mauled the woman to death in front of the husband while he was shooting them trying to defend her with a revolver

Welcome to America where no less than a 6’ spike topped fence and a high capacity .45 is enough to maybe prevent your loved ones from being brutal ended in front of you while you’re just out enjoying your back yard

I’ll link the story when I find it in my post history for anyone who wants to read it. It’s tragic how shitty our society is.

Clearly, some people beyond that

Wcyd ¯\(ツ)/¯

Yeah, except I didn’t use Ai or a prompt as I’ve now said 3 times which you seem to be unable to comprehend

I used a LLM and TTS to verbally type

Did you manage to read all that Buddy? or we going to keep playing merry go round?

Yes.

You and those like you can kindly learn to read, and websearch what acronomys mean before responding condescendingly while being completely incorrect. That would be quite helpful :)

… You think TTS is Ai slop?

Lmfao

It’s talking to your phone and it translates audio to words and words to audio

To be completely honest, I don’t expect many people will.

Increasingly, people are completely incapable of reading on these platforms… you know, these ones designed to communicate via…reading and writing,…But what can you do?

Whoever you are if you made it this far, if your attention span has managed to remain unharmed in today’s world, read or dont. Your choice, and your responsibility to deal with the fallout of either wasted time or losses in personal capability either way not mine

I didnt write it 🙃

VTT with a bit of editing removing punctuation and breaking up blocks of text

LLMs are useful for some things

I’d like to preface all of the following with something: a vehicle should account for no more than 10% of a household user’s budget, some say up to 15% but most of the literature I’ve seen puts it at or under 10% to maintain fiscal responsibility. That’s monthly ofc, and puts the total budget somewhere around $1,200-1,400 on most of these cars

So how many people do you know who make between $120,000-140,000 per driver?

Some of us do, most of us don’t

I know plenty of people who cannot and or will not for various reasons ever make that much in their lifetimes

Let’s say a 19 year old getting their first car without support. You think they can afford a 60k car? Hell even a 40k? At +6% apr? They still need a car and not all of us have or had parents to help us foot that bill

How about even a used one ran into the dirt at 20-25k to “establish credit”? Think that’s a good idea either for someone like that? Its a terrible one

Further, if literally anything goes wrong with the battery before it’s paid off but out of warranty… Then what? File bankruptcy at 20-25? Take the credit hit and be unable to buy another vehicle or, or get student loans, or be able to get a mortgage because your credit is shot?

No matter if the payback even makes sense we have prime examples that the economy is down right hostile to EV owners with the EV tax road hike increases forcing EV users to pay up to 10x road “gas” tax equivalents of what petrol does in the US regardless if they drive 1,000 miles in a year or 40,000

Plain and simple, all commuter/work vehicles are not worth $40,000-60,000. They are grossly overpriced and have been since at least 2020

The $70,000 GMC EV work truck trim with 450 miles of range? That’s worth $45,000 max. The Tesla model 3 dual motor (which I paid $60,000 for new in 2023 btw) are worth $35,000 max brand new top trim model and has never been worth more than that despite the insane market gauntlet we’ve been run through

The person you are responding to is not even slightly wrong

Vehicles are grossly overpriced.

Front loading potential savings is not an acceptable practice in an economy where people do not have the option to go without a vehicle to function. Prices needs to crater. Companies need to be making any profits they do make off the back of quantity sold, and off government subsidies and cutting out middle men not massive margins per lesser quantities of vehicles at our expense, because as things stand they’re making their margins off of government bailouts anyways and consumers are perpetually the ones getting bent since taxes are our money and these incompetents are increasingly demanding more and more of it

I have had a bad experience with HA + reolink

First one, audio stopped after a winter storm, only static playing constantly

You can set them up with 2 way audio with HA, but it’s an endeavor, not a one click it works thing

I highly recommend you look up ubiquity, get a ubiquity protect router and bite the bullet cost wise because they work flawlessly

Or better, just get home cameras and keep a dumb doorbell

Oor… Hear me out… not everything needs to connect to the fucking internet

For example?

My Ecobee thermostat, absolutely wonderful device for just under two years

They change their TOS because they’re starting to push their “security” camera side of the business. I disagree with the TOS and won’t agree to them. It includes grossly invasive private data sharing including data collected from the microphone on the Ecobee

Oh what? You don’t agree? (There’s no disagree button) Guess you can’t log in and use the device any more

No problem right? Just use the homekit stuff from it and boom you can control it locally right?.. Except I have an entry level heatpump… and heatpump have to have a thermometer to tell it when it can’t use the heatpump due to low temps (mine is 40°for) which Ecobee sources local weather to determine that point and if you don’t have it connected, you could damage a +$15,000 piece of equipment… So connect to the internet and agree to the new tos or buggar off

And that’s a +$450 thermostat when all sensors are included

Can follow this line of bullcrap with cars, lawn equipment, farm equipment, you name it

Just full blown middle finger to internet connected tech from me, as well as any software updating tech is my current position. Fully standalone, zero OTA updates, zero wifi, zero bluetooth. These days no bullshit is a premium feature apparently
