Oh, god, this. She is terrible. WTF is with her popularity? I don’t understand it at all.

You need some sort of hardware that HA can connect to and use as a pipeline. The rudimentary one was an Atom M5stack Echo and it had a wakeword process on it that used openwakeword service on HA, and then shipped TTS and STT over the network from Piper and Whisper over Wyoming protocol.

That’s a complicated explanation, but essentially you installed an ESPHome config on the Atom and it would find those services and then use it for spk/mic as a voice assistant pipeline. See https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/thirteen-usd-voice-remote/#installing-the-software-onto-the-atom-echo

Nabu Casa was putting out a voice satellite hardware, I’m not sure where that’s sitting these days, they might have sold out of the production run. But there are a few others being built, you might find something that works for you. I think FutureProofHome youtube channel was coming out with one too.

And why are we getting a picture of her?

Now I want one.

Payday incoming. Make the people on that council personally liable.

Those ones actually work better. The short, sharp shock ones can be hit at speed if you have a good suspension. The slow ones like that will lift the rear end off the ground if you go too fast, they’re way more effective.

Me too, but you’d figure those MDF baseboards would be stained as well. They puff up and look waterlogged at the merest hint of water.

What people put up with on Facebook, especially after things like Cambridge Analytica, is utterly astounding to me. I burned my facebook account in something like 2007 after I heard about Zuckerberg’s “dumb fucks” statement.

And then they post pics of the grandchildren along with every piece of trivia to be used against them in years to come. Weirdos.

Sure as fuck won’t be Canada.

I haven’t watched a live TV show outside of a game at a bar in like 30 years. Hell, I had tuner cards in a MythTV box and it would strip the ads for me based on the volume changes back when I paid for cable.

The complacent laziness and stupidity of people is why we have ads on everything today. 30 seconds on Google and the ads would be gone. Instead they just click through.

Fuck, I miss the old internet.

I’m usually vibrating in anger within 5 minutes. Faster if I have to do anything in that fuckshow called Settings.

The biggest tragedy in SF shows. I watch it again and get angry at the

end of the final episode all over again.

Normies don’t understand adblockers. I mean, its a tough concept, like quantum mechanics. Can’t expect them to know how to hit a button.

I think I’ve installed a Fedora server in 5 minutes. It’s now literally 3 clicks if you’re doing it manually.

Bootlegs of Hendrix and Zeppelin were floating around via sneakernet on cassette tapes. I had every one I could find.

Hell, back then Sony sold machines with 2 decks in them that would copy tapes. No other reason for them to exist than piracy but apparently there was a time when Sony wasn’t the archenemy of piracy.

I just use rootless docker, it’s way less hassle.

I know a lot of those were reasons given at the announcement or shortly after. Given statements made in the past, id believe the rest of them

2 years out of date

I have to figure that’s where these people are stuck. You can’t have used frontier models in anger in the last 6 months and still believe this tripe.
