Depends on your definition of "smart’ I guess. ZigBee stuff like buttons and the like probably won’t become obsolete for a long time. I guess you could argue that ZigBee protocol updates could eventually brick them though. Good thing a lot of it is open source

I wish it was as easy as just bailing. I very much want to, but I can’t afford it, and with the coming depression, I especially won’t be able to afford it.

I would rather use dialup.

It doesn’t require an internet connection at all unless you want to update the firmware on the cameras 🙂 Oh, and I guess to view the web UI you’d need a LAN connection but it doesn’t need to connect to the full internet.

Frigate and Reolink are a good combo. Frigate is absolutely fantastic and can detect objects, sounds, and/or save clips and recordings to your pool. There’s really nothing better imo.

She didn’t do that, Ethan just wanted a scapegoat.

Quality shitpost

You could’ve just looked for off the shelf OCR software and it would probably be better, no LLM needed. OCR has been around for far longer than the current LLM bubble.

Best of luck to you!

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!

I’m not sure I’ve ever had naturally carbonated mineral water before, but yeah, the stuff I’m talking about has no sugar or anything, it’s just water. I’m not sure why it does that to me!

Yeah, the heat dome was what made me finally get a heat pump installed. It was 117°F (47°C) and we had to huddle around a crappy dual hose portable a/c

I’m using that one for my heat pump right now! It’s great!

That works when we’re nearby, yep! It’s just when we’re outside or upstairs. We hate mildewy or wrinkly clothes.

Ah, so I’m fucked up 🫠

almost everyone has air conditioning, so doors and windows stay closed in summer

When I moved to the PNW, it was a shock to me that most people did not have air conditioning, especially in apartments. My first apartment had none, and summer was pretty unbearable. I think it’s climate change doing it’s thing and maybe it wasn’t needed before.

Is it normal to feel dehydrated after drinking carbonated water? That’s why I avoid it, personally, but I wonder if I’m just fucked up.

Ah, my power isn’t cheaper at certain times, so I didn’t think of that. I wonder if you could control and monitor all of it with an ESP32.

Nvidia and the US government aren’t enough?
