Yeah, I absolutely adore being able to set up things that make my life easier without getting in the way and without worrying it’ll all ruin my day if something stops working.

We use smart light switches that look and work like regular switches, but with Z-wave control built in. Controlling otherwise non-smart lights is great, but then so is being able to trigger things with double and triple presses!

My favorite example is that my espresso machine takes a moment to warm up in the morning, so I have it on a Z-wave outlet for remote control. I can turn it on from my bedroom by double-clicking my bedroom light switch on the way out of the room in the morning. By the time I collect the cups from the office, and get them cleaned out in the kitchen, the machine is usually ready to use.

I’m rather close to a downward triple-press in the bedroom kicking off a full bedtime routine that turns off all the lights, TVs, locks the house doors (with feedback from a smart speaker if that fails), locks the car doors, turns the temperature down a couple of degrees, and arms the house alarm.

A downward triple-press in my office locks the family’s computers.

All 100% locally, and I adore it!

I’d rather a happy medium of local control where it can be hooked up to HomeAssistant. I like smart home when the smarts stay in my home!

My favorite thing is media pausing automatically when I get a phone call and resuming when I hang up. I listen to music all day while I work, so when someone calls it automatically pauses and I don’t have to pause it myself or turn down my speakers. Really helpful for busy customer call days when I’m on the support rotation.

Notifications are also pretty great, useful for 2fa notifications since I’m at my machine for work all day.

Everything I’ve seen about keto is that it helps with reducing blood pressure. I’ve not gone full keto but I’ve cut out carbs significantly (alongside intermittent fasting, only eating 11a-7p) and it curbed my blood pressure issues over about a year.

Carnivore I wouldn’t be surprised about though.

I’ve had two folding phones work for over two years without any delamination or other issues - I only replaced the first one because I dropped it and shattered a corner of the outer screen. Inner screen was in perfect condition still.

I can understand the hesitation but if you can get a good deal on one they’re way better now than they were at the beginning.

I mean. “It’s fun and still works for what I use it for” seems like a fine reason to me, just saying.

Not to be overly pedantic but Java != JavaScript

So far I’ve not had any trouble with them, running bazzite on a GPD Win Mini

It’s using tools like Claude or other agentic AI to collaboratively make an app. It’s a fun novelty until you realize people paid more than you are doing it without knowing what they’re doing and getting away with it.

I miss the old days of using reddit via rtv, someone should update it for lemmy

TL;DR: In which the author doesn’t comprehend that Rust can do everything C can do on the same hardware, and overstates the stability of C as a language, pleading sentiment over sensibility.

You’re probably right

Programs in rust aren’t necessarily abandoned, sometimes they’re done

Unless the point is to have a single device and not to carry a bunch of peripherals around? “Better” only if your criteria ignores the need to carry it around with the laptop.

There’s a whole “watch later” system, witw are you doing it that way for?

Honestly, good riddance. That place was a cestering fesspool.

Well, take a nap.

ZEN FIRE ZEE MISSILES!

Due to his untrustworthy behavior, I can’t say I’d be surprised if he leaked the memo himself, purposely including the deflection of revenue not being impacted or such.

Sounds a bit conspiracy theorist, but I would certainly be unsurprised.

This just makes me really curious what it was - Mine was never a point of contention because it was just some letters and numbers

Yeah I was super surprised to see just how many improvements hit the Jerboa Android app in just a couple days since I installed it. So many PRs lol
