any way to find those rackable phone kvm things? My quick search came up empty. I might get someone interested in that. However, we're a very big European corporation, so "let's use social media fraud farms" and "hire…
I work in a place where we have about 100 phones in a server room that we use for automated testing of mobile apps. A few phones get chucked out every year due to bloated batteries. We’ve even had one or two explosions.…
Soo... 12 TWh? Isn't that why we have metric prefixes? So we don't have to say that there's 12 billion of something...
Was it so rare? I had A1200 and I think they were quite popular here in Europe. Don’t have any stats, though. My parents bought it used for me and the seller also threw in Monkey Island 2 on 11 floppies and that started…
Is a Chinese robot vacuuming and mopping my floor every day? Yes it is. Could I do it better manually? Absolutely. I still prefer the robot to do an ok job than to do it myself.
Most of my thinking is non-verbal. I don't think in sentences. I CAN think in sentences and internally rationalize my actions and explain them and sometimes that's beneficial (rubber duck debuggin, sometimes it's good…
yeah, it's probably turtles all the way.
Living through all mobile phone history, from non-existant when I was a child to today's smartphones, I would hesitate to use such absolute phrases like "X on the phone is never going to make sense". How many things…
If the isp doesn’t go down with the power outage you could probably get a big enough ups to keep the router and voip phone going for at least a couple of hours. Those things don’t use much power
Bad comparison. Lambos are regularly plowing fields and they're quite good at it. https://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/en-eu/
Did the new Leaf get dumber? I have an old 2019 model and it’s connected. In the mobile app I see its location, turn on AC etc.
What are global alternatives? Every company is connected to some country, there are no global alternatives. I live in EU and want to use EU services mainly because I want this part of the world to prosper. I want to…
Not calling other software engineers 'losers' is not about political correctness. They're "losers" because they take their product on a path you don't like? Come on. Linus can be emotional in his posts because Linux is…
The same way they're at version 26 of iOS and MacOS
Yes and no. Performancewise, the iconic Ferrari Testarossa from 80s/90s does 0-62mph in 5.8sec. That's in the ballpark of today's family SUV EV, like the Tesla Model Y (standard version, 'Performance' does 3.3sec) or…
and perhaps you've never used a good motorized screwdriver with torque control.
Yes, that's true. I think Matter doesn't support yet many of additional configuration stuff. Hopefully that will change as the technology matures. As I use it with HomeKit as well I can do some user management through…
You just need a Thread border router and Matter devices connect to your HA without problems. I use Apple TV as a border router.
What stops you from adding a Thread border router and adding new Matter devices to Home Assistant? It works.
I mean... I have an Aqara Matter over Thread smart lock that connects via AppleTV (which is a Thread border router) to Home Assistant. And I can control the lock both with HA and Apple HomeKit. And this whole thing…
What? You can buy a very cheap ESP32 with Thread and easily build your own device with Matter/Thread and it will work. Doesn't seem that closed. There is OpenThread that is an open source implementation of Thread. Home…
Probably depends on the radio station and area but I work in one and we're actually using something much higher quality for remote radio, for example: https://www.prodys.net/portable-codecs-audio/quantum-lite-2/ If…
A decent quality stream is not 256 kilobytes per second (1/4 megabyte), as you write. You probably meant 256kilobits, which is only 32 kilobytes. For speech that’s VERY high quality. Teams actually uses either G.722 or…
I think he implied AI generated porn. Perhaps also other kind of images that are at odds with morality and/or the law. I'm not sure but probably Samsung phones don't let you do that.
The fact that it’s a different word makes it very different situation. It’s not the capital letter that signals this. It’s the context. Polish as a verb and Polish as a noun won’t be mistaken in a sentence. In “Polish…
