Well just hold on there a minute, if they raise interest or charge higher fees on things that doesn't disproportionately negatively impact poor people then it might be less predatory... And we can't have that, we gotta keep punching those that can't hit back.

If your friend can hold it for 2 more years then they can get a movie made about them.

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

Obligatory if you install HA on a raspberry Pi. Use the SSD option as you will wear out an SD card or usb key pretty quickly since those devices aren't intended for constant writes from things like logging and generally don't have any wear out leveling.

LLM AIs think any sentence that starts with who what where when, why or how is a question.

All these guys are posting crossing their whole country, but as Texas is one state, it’s fair to say that’s the same as a province.

Staying only within Ontario, Canada it takes almost one full day of literally non stop driving.

That is a respectable size and to you sir I can only say what any man can say in this situation.

It’s not about the size, but how you use it. ;-)

Cerothen ,

That’s a neat feature. I will request that gets added to sync.

At home I have 4 screens, 3 in a row and one over top of the center.

The bottom ones change based on what I am doing. Games, browser, IDEs, consoles, terminal windows, etc.

The top is always a better in the left 2/3rd mostly playing music or videos. The right third is Element/Matrix which bridges in all my other chats (FB, WhatsApp, signal, telegram, Discord, gmessages, etc) so I can see them in one tidy spot.

At work I have 8 screens 6 in a 2 tall by 3 wide config, a big one on the side, and another touch screen on the other side. Which is all used for control and monitoring… And often feels like not enough when things get busy.

What do you call music/videos/stuff you suddenly remember after years of not thinking about it?

Who doesn’t know the feeling? Something brings back the memory of a song you haven’t heard since 2009. Back then it was playing on TV all the time. You look it up on YouTube. It totally has those 2000s vibes. All the comments are also “omgz I just remembered this song after 15 years !!”....

Whenever this happens, I just think about the song that never ends, it goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because…

1000/1000 @ $C 75

I have 3 different first party fiber ISPs available to me at home with a max speed available of 8000/8000

Which is weird because I’m not in a city and live in a small town of less than 20k people

There is actually infrastructure involved… payment infrastructure, servers, modems and cell connectivity. Sure none of those things would be needed if there weren’t subscriptions, but there certainly is infrastructure used to verify your subscription and cut you off when you miss a payment.

Have you ever tried using aurora instead of the play store for devices that don’t natively have it?

This made me realize that I have a search bar on my home screen that I literally never use and I do use a third party launcher that it could be turned off. Very funny indeed

Cerothen ,

I agree, for the lay person the steamos experience in the deck is great and has no issues it installs things it plays things, most people won’t need to open the desktop experience at all

Cerothen ,

Storage expansion is great. I got a 2tb SSD form AliExpress for ~160CAD and put in a 1tb SD card. I can just install whatever I want and never worry about shaders or games using to much space.
