Yeah the Constitution don’t say anything bout AI so according to the originalists, companies can do anything they want, lol.

Someone reupload yuzu, stat!

What better place to use this meme:

Apple’s may start being salty and blame everything on anti-trust from now on.

Why were your beans cold this morning? EU’s DMA.

Why did you get delayed to your event? EU’s DMA.

Why did it rain on the one day you were planning to take a trip? EU’s DMA, of course.

Secret child-man? Or conspicuous man-child?

What you don’t understand is that if YouTube manages to get enough people by the balls with their anti-adblocking efforts, the next step is to start jacking up the subscription price year after year to see how much people are willing to pay.

Youtube 2026: you are no longer allowed to skip ahead in videos in order to blend the video and ad “experience” together.

There is a 3rd party tool that gives you some GP functionality even on home edition: PolicyPlus

Security by Obscurity = FBI backdoor, almost guaranteed.

Musk the Butthurt Billionaire whines again. More news at 11.

I think part of it was the stress of the grindset that Linus running the show was getting all the staff into. Pushing out content at a regular schedule, getting sponsorships and all of that.

The whole GN saga with data accuracy and the donated cooler that made LMG look inward for a bit and improve their process was for the best I think.

The investigation to me is just one element making sure LMG weren’t getting off on the wrong foot.

I think the complainant wasn’t wrong or defamatory at all to bring up concerns because even in LTT’s channel there was a video where the front and center stars of the team comment on how stressful things can be. When there’s an implicit hierarchy imbalance (Linus can say “we’re all equals here” all he wants) but fact is there’s a leadership structure in one way or another, which can cause one to take certain treatment in different ways.

Related note: If there was an alternative to Yahoo’s Chiebukuro (Bag of wisdom, a Japanese general q&a forum) in the Fediverse, I’d betcha it would catch on.

trains as a long string of semi-trucks

So many long distance delivery trucks take the same route across the country. Why don’t we just string them all together, then have one big-ass truck engine in the front pulling it all? And to save on how big the motor needs to be, we’ll have steel on steel contact to reduce friction. Whoops, you’ve got a train all of a sudden. 😅

flashing red lights treated like a stop sign

Seems kind of dangerous to treat as a rule. Not just at railroad crossing but a stopped car with hazards on or a firetruck might confuse the self driving module…

Hmm yeah it seems the oncoming movement from the side may throw it off somehow.

One of the many forseeable problems with solely relying on cameras and visual processing.

Speculation here, I wonder if the ditch lights and general light placement that is different than a normal car confused the self driving module into thinking it’s on the wrong side of the road…?

I’ve never heard of CSC, only Coinamatic in every commercially run residential coin laundry I have seen (in Canada). They run on coins or chip cards.

beloved features — like the ability to “gild” posts by donating a Reddit Premium subscription — are not returning.

That was like more than half the point of gold. Some random comment getting lots of gold would mean the recipient, in turn, could give out gold too.

Now…

As a Linux aficionado, I appreciate you trying to bring an argument for Windows in good faith and a potential way for Microsoft to improve it. This is even if steering people to Bing is Microsoft’s intention with this move so they are unlikely to improve it in the way you suggested.

Since forever, Microsoft-affiliated products are often the only things that get the “trusted” label within the Microsoft ecosystem.

And for a low price of a billion dollars, the potential for the executive branch to capitulate to the oligopolies!

Disclaimer I don’t know the ins and outs of HA nor have I used it.

I’m not sure if you have the automatic lock/unlock part figured out but that’s the part I can’t help with.

In terms of detecting when kid comes home, some ideas:

A low power esp32 board coded to connect to your home network, then if the device name or MAC address is discovered on the network, or have the device send a message every 10 seconds or when a button is pressed.

NFC card and reader in front of the door, can be “hard wired” rather than over wifi if you prefer. The card doesn’t run out of battery but access still can be assigned or revoked if lost.

A passcode: many hardware store doorlocks offer this, if the main problem is your kid losing keys. Then just do automation inside the house as you see fit from motion detectors or whatever your heart desires.

E: a few people ITT don’t like to have fun thinking of ideas how to use home automation, even if it’s unnecessary.
