You’re being facetious, but Peter Singer made this exact point about “ordinary people being evil” in a famous philosophy essay in 1972. https://youtu.be/KVl5kMXz1vA?si=F__kWUXkcu4h-5iI
OK, nerd sniped. I bought an OpenGarage and then saw that it had MQTT integration. So... installed MQTT and got that working. Then asked how hard would it be to hook this up to Alexa and get voice control working? Not…
I was lucky enough to attend a lecture given by Dr. Sacks circa 1988. He was a resident speaker for the University of California campuses and had come to UCSC to talk about Awakenings and other topics. He was such a…
