In the kitchen sink too 🤮

And use proper passwords. IDEALLY just use a password manage… not LastPass… but LastPass is better than nothing

I usually just tell people “I fix shit” or “I build things”. Computers and bicycles have been somewhat constant throughout my life though.

Don’t get into salt water fish tanks… pistol shrimp are cool as shit… but getting the tank right is not for the ADHD person :)

Comic books even just keeping up with current Arcs… get pretty expensive and then you just have a backlog of 30+ books to read

Beer making is fun… Cleaning up sucks

Gardening wasn’t for me… I would get home from work everyday and have to spend an hour or two taming my tomato plants (Like vegetables… hate gardening)

I am sure I have more hobbies abandoned than this. Thats the fun of ADHD. I have abandoned more projects than most people have started

Was just in Germany a couple of days ago.

Ordered a Coke was asked “Coke or Coke Zero” was served a local cola.

Wasn’t mad it was a good soda, I was just ordering soda the way I am used to :)

And by GTA V The Grove was taken over by ballers :(

I know SD and HD are separate universes… but it would make sense that no matter what GSF gets pushed out

Likewise, it fits well as GTA storylines never really have a happy ending

My point is that this would wind up breaking things along racial, gender, religious lines inadvertently (at best).

Yes, it’s going to be biased by design.

You are correct, I can’t think of a way that it wouldn’t also be discriminatory.

Thanks friend

Isn’t it great?!

I love innovation.

All that aside, how do they intend to prove that their per customer pricing is not biased?

Its actually amusing as I was listing out potential biases… I couldn’t actually see how it wouldn’t be.

I bet, they are still technically good displays that can potentially surpass most modern LCDs.

OLED does beat them in every way now though

You are correct. They were susceptible to burn in and dimming over time but did not have a back light.

I never owned a plasma display because they were too expensive. CRT until 08 when we upgraded to a Vizio LCD for me

I should’ve corrected that after my wikipedia dive

Bad viewing angles, poor contrast ratios, poor refresh rate and poor display speed.

I was not saying that they were non existent or unreliable. The technology was just poor at that time and beaten by Plasma displays in those areas

Plasma displays had 2 problems though (besides cost) They were heavier than LCDs and their backlights would dim over time.

Edit: I was reading on wikipedia… they work like those plasma globes!

Plasma displays were affected by screen burn-in where as LCDs typically are not.

Also it seems like on Contrast ratio plasma still is not beaten by LCD displays

Though there are a lot of LED backlight technologies that help. Such as being able to only run a portion of the backlight for a given area.

For a while there were also Dual Layer LCD panels. They would effectively use one layer of LCD to control color and another to try to control brightness / prevent light bleed through. I think those are obsolete for the most part now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_display

In that era you had CRTs or Rear Projection TVs.

Rear Projection was bigger (55" 4:3) but often times was susceptible to burn-in and had a worse quality picture compared to a CRT

Before LCDs it was plasma which until the the late 2000s had more technical advantages over LCD Refresh rate, contrast. LCDs couldn’t really match them until the 2010s (I never had a plasma display though so I don’t fully understand plasma)

DLP was a thing and could get up to and over 80" while maintaining quality but DLP could not be wall mounted as they were quite big like rear projection screens

The systemd and the Wayland debate both feel very similar.

At the end of the day the old method of using init scripts was becoming inadequate and needed to change

Wayland debate seems the same, switching to Wayland has been talked about for over a decade. The change has been coming and frankly I was expecting it a lot earlier

Whats neat about linux though is if you have nothing better to do and are knowledgeable enough to bitch about all of this; then you also have the technical prowess to standup an install of your favorite distro and get it to use X instead of Wayland and init scripts instead of systemd

For me as an enduser I hope Wayland enables more modern features to be delivered more easily as X has felt old for a while.

The top three are used in California.

I mainly stick with Dude and Buddy (Buddy being my go to for strangers “Thanks Buddy”)

In my office a few years back I started ironically calling people “Homie” and that overtime morphed into a gender neutral term of endearment we all used for each other.

I really wonder where “Homie” fits into this

MY bad, I did not catch this was home assistant… I get the feeling that should be taken care of for you based on this

Sorry to have to tell you… I don’t know :(

You may need to give your Assistant some tools.

Things like weather and time require the LLM to be able to fetch external data.

I’ve been hosting sites oof my home connection for over 15 years.

Webservers and such don’t have any problems so long as you have the bandwidth to support them.

I recommend (no idea on EU alt) a service like Cloudflare as that will boost your overall security / hide your real IP from end users

The big piece that will not work from a residential connection is running a mail server. Thats partly because ISPs try to block them and also because most servers you would send mail to will reject any connections from a residential IP address.

A lot of devices are based around the ESP8266 / ESP32 Here is a site with a very likely VERY incomplete list

SR8 in Urban Terror… used to have so much fun sniping people in that game

This actually looks like Truth Social is blocking Ukraine as opposed to Ukraine blocking Truth Social
