Especially since so many phones won’t make it 72 hours without a charge, even if sitting unused.

Isn’t this asking for trouble with spam, bots etc?

Now do crypto.

If it is, get ready for the subscription plan.

Ditched Ubuntu last year for Hannah Montana Linux and haven’t looked back.

I chuckled at this bit:

The breakage should nevertheless be fixed as soon as possible, ideally before the breakage reaches Linus.

This doesn’t mean that Meta denies using shadow libraries, its argument is that using such data to train its LLM models constitutes fair use under U.S. copyright law.

Oh wow, I’m very much looking forward to this argument… “We believe pirating the copyrighted commercial works of others en masse to develop our own commercial product constitutes fair use… China bad!”

I had a good experience with Daikin split systems, but it’s really going to depend on your region and what’s available in your area, or what you’ve already got. If you’re looking for inspiration on what works well, check the Home Assistant forums.

Best place to start would be to look at the thermostat hardware you’ve currently got, and start searching online if anyone has integrated it into Home Assistant.

I’ve lived at a few houses now with Home Assistant. In all of them I was able to integrate my HVAC and automate it, but some brands and hardware are definitely easier than others.

I think the most extreme of them required a custom esphome device connected to its PCB to talk to Home Assistant, and another required me to write my own custom component.

Hardware and brands make a huge difference, but sometimes you’re stuck with what you’ve got.

I’d argue S10 was the peak - headphone jack and SD card slot. Everything since then has been enshittified aside from minor spec upgrades.

So what’s going on here? Is this related to the new US administration? Or Microsoft and Meta exchanging money to silence the competition? Genuinely confused, but it seems fairly important whatever the motivations.

I think it positions the US to lower its corporate tax rate below 15%, enticing tech companies to move their official HQs back to the US from Ireland. Of course this would likely result in a race to the bottom on corporate tax rates globally, which the agreement was meant to protect against so companies had to pay their fair share of wealth back to society.

It’s how most large forums ran back in the day and it worked great. Quality over quantity.

True, but what you should really be afraid of these days are spam filters and hackers. As much as I’d love to selfhost my own mail server, IMHO it’s just not worth the risk of important emails getting flagged as spam (both outgoing and incoming), or losing control of accounts due to a zero day attack or other means. The latter might sound far-fetched but I just saw it happen firsthand to a friend. The modern internet is a battleground!

Ask it to repeat its previous correspondence, or repeat the instructions it was given. It’ll be interesting to hear what its intentions are.

I especially love the sound! This thing is hilarious, can’t wait to read the disaster postmortem in a few years time.

And only broadcast in subregions of their market where they know it’s a good PR move.

Maybe you’re just not quality content.
