A fairly rare find - Indian melodeath! I thought Skyharbor(?) and Bloodywood were about it. Thanks for sharing!

Pics would make sense, but unsure of anywhere specific

Honestly, I view it as one of those charming eccentrics we run across from time to time. It’s a ton better than one of the AI bots or Trolls, that’s for sure. :) Portland has the unipolar, we have þis. ;)

Sxan has several comments where he explains why. It’s an interesting read.

“openpilot is an operating system for robotics. Currently, it upgrades the driver assistance system on 300+ supported cars.”

Since that was all Greek to me. And I speak Greek.

And it was just yesterday when The Daily Show talked about how “Trump tours Japan and manages not to do the accent”. Ah, sweet summer children.

Just make sure she’s aware of the consequences of her actions. The amount of detail or tangentiality is up to you. If she’s smart she’ll STFU about it and it can be civil, if not cordial. But feel free to pull out the “I’m glad you like it when they zip tie kids” as needed.

There are some where there’s no hub, just a standalone (I can’t be arsed to check if you still need the job for switchbot itself). Worth looking at the knockoffs since I know some exist that don’t need anything else. And I wish the security were better, but for a simple case like this I think they’re fine.

Yes. SwitchBot is the biggie but there are a ton of knockoffs (google “smart button pusher”). The catch is that the security is crap - fine for what you’re doing, but I wouldn’t use it for a garage door, for instance.

I think you’d need a shortcut or script on a computer to run a scheduled task or cron job to start it, but pretty sure that’s available too. (Note - looked at them briefly, just wanted to respond while it was fresh in my mind)

No. It’s not true. You need to think more critically and check sources and seek alternate views. This isn’t a stupid question per se, but it’s hard to tell if you’re asking it in good faith.

What do you expect him to actually do? Gumming up the works is pretty much the only option right now.

Just curious, does that amount of stupid ever burn? Because when I see that amount of ignorance I saw “the stupid, it burns”.

oops. Sorry. https://flushinghospital.org/newsletter/truth-or-myth-our-nose-and-our-ears-never-stop-growing/

But webs says the same thing. https://www.webmd.com/healthy-aging/what-to-know-about-nose-and-ear-growth-as-you-age

“cartilage does stop growing. However, cartilage is made of collagen and other fibers that begin to break down as we age.

The result is drooping. So what appears to be growth is just gravity doing its job. Our noses and our earlobes sag and become larger. Adding to the misconception is what happens to other parts of our face. While our nose might sag, our cheeks and lips actually lose volume, making everything else look comparatively larger.”

Annoyingly, it gets through the entire article pretty much without explaining what the hell JLCPCB is, assuming that you must know what they are. It appears to be a Chinese PCB (printed circuit board) manufacturer, where you can send them a schematic and they will make a PCB of whatever you desire. It appears that they are now limiting who they take orders from, and it seems likely that other Chinese PCB manufacturers will take the same step in the future.

Overall I enjoy reading Hackaday’s articles, But this was too much “inside baseball” since they didn’t bother explaining what JLCPCB was.

Of course t-mobile has the shittiest security.
