A big exception to the rule are the HomeKit secure video cameras that work in Apple’s ecosystem. If your HomeKit compatible camera is going straight into HKSV, and isn’t paired with manufacturer’s own cloud video service, then it’s all E2EE and it can’t be accessed by Apple, even with a warrant.

Problem is, camera offerings are limited, and scrolling clips in HomeKit is paaaainful. Also, if you’re not in Apple’s ecosystem, you can’t use it.

Totally agree. I’ve been keeping ink tanks in ziplock bags so they don’t dry out.

I think I might cut over to a B&W inkjet. There are tiny versions of those now, and I can print color elsewhere.

Only problem is size. Color lasers are chonky compared to a color inkjet. And a small printer is nice if you only print a handful of times a year. They’re easier to shove in a drawer or closer.

The days of me dedicating 24/7 desk space to a printer is over in my house.

We also need some sort of way to prevent heads from drying out so quickly.

Printer companies know heads dry out, and they ship tanks with caps / tape for prevent dry out on retail store shelves. But once the tanks are installed, printers just leave the heads exposed to the air. Like a pen without a cap, the tanks dry out.

I print like 5 times a year. So 90% of the time, when I’m replacing a tank, it’s because the damn head dried out.

Only problem with laser is the desk size for color laser. If you don’t print very often, and you want color, a laser can take up space.

Finally a way to turn clean solar into something I can burn.

But, but the traffic was fake.

But competition IS good for me.

If people start migrating to better experience and better communities, they’re going to have to step up to stop the bleeding.

Reddit can get away with making terrible user experiences and killing 3rd party solutions because no alternative has lured enough of their base away.

Chromebooks and cloud gaming come to mind.

Anything that takes users away from Reddit, and forces Reddit to compete, is a plus for me.

Every 5 years someone invests a bunch of money into thin clients, and then we’re right back where we started.

I’ll believe it’s possible when America’s networking infrastructure isn’t covered in holes.

So a bot? Those have been in gaming for fucking ever.

This patent is so dumb.

lol, who is the one person downvoting technology advancements designed to help the blind?

I use a little 3b for home automation stuff. That little guy is arguably overkill for controlling a thermostat and some other silly things.

Pshh. A case? I have a perfectly good tea bag box here.

Although the old 4s are now like $50. I remember when those were selling at stupidly inflated prices.

An old 3 or 4 is more than enough for my dumb little home projects.

Weird. If that’s the case, how hasn’t this been more of an issue? This isn’t the first time a light has gone out in SF.

I’m curious about what cloud service caused a couple of these cars to shit the bed. They’ve been designed to handle a lot of the compute locally. They can’t even been driven from a remote operator - the vehicle mostly troubleshoots sticky situations itself.

I can’t imagine this is the first time their fleet has encountered a traffic light that’s out or cell towers that’s are not responding. They do half a million rides a week in cities that have infrastructure blinking in and out of service constantly.

Such a clickbate title.

Two dispatch lots won’t be operating at night because the noise is disturbing people who need to sleep.

Honestly, the city should’ve never permitted this spot to begin with. You shouldn’t do cab dispatch in residential neighborhoods.
