  • Passively waiting until a specific pattern of pressure waves impacts a sensor takes way less power than recording and transmitting the voice data

  • And it was Dessalines (creator of Lemmy and ml admin) taking time out of their no doubt busy schedule to make sure that some guy who commented on a post about China's atrocities couldn't upvote memes.

    With how they'll suddenly mass-ban people I'm half convinced the mod tools many people ask for exist, but only on their installation, out of spite and enjoyment that only they have the power

  • Been thinking about swapping away from Plex when I move to New hardware later this month

    If I'm reading all this right sounds like Overseerr and Plex both can be replaced with this, as well as a unified app for the two?

    If so I'm def getting this installed and testing it out this weekend, my goal for a while has been to get the rest of my family into my streaming ecosystem but having to use 2 whole apps (Plex and Overseerr on a website) is enough to scare them away despite using 6 apps currently

  • Having trained many types of animal to follow at least a few basic commands, my order from easiest to hardest:

    Horse, dog, wolfdog, wolf, chicken, cat, duck, goat, pig

    Most of the "difficult" ones aren't stupid, quite the opposite. They're smart enough to be stubborn and wonder why they should do what you say

  • The title of the video should be the summary, unless whatever you're sharing it with removes the little preview card and just sends a hyperlink

    If I'm linking a video it's for the purpose of suggesting the person watch the video. I'm not going to put work in that's already been done because they're too lazy to watch something

  • So, what? Luciferianism has nothing to do with Christianity.

    Ridiculous statement, holy shit. The only reason that name is relevant is Christianity, it absolutely is related from it's very beginning.

    The Luciferian label—in the sense of Lucifer-worshipper—was first used in the Gesta Treverorum in 1231 for a religious circle led by a woman named Lucardis (Luckhardis). It was said that in private she lamented the fall of Lucifer (Satan) and yearned for his restoration to heavenly rule.

    Feel free to check out my Lemmy comment history

    Lost enough brain cells already, thanks

    It's called "karma" on certain occult/esoteric faiths.

    "Respect people's mythical bullshit because of mythical bullshit!" What an argument! Sadly: nah, fuck that

    Respectfulness is a must

    It absolutely isn't

  • that have nothing to do with Christianity (or the other Abrahamic religions which hold the majority on representativeness)

    Lists Luciferianism as their first example

    Bruh you trolling or what?

    they're opening fire not just towards Christianity, but also towards these marginalized and less-represented belief systems.

    We know? Why should we care that a belief system is less represented? It's still imaginary bullshit either way

  • I also believe that those three movies that everyone loves could be edited down into one and not much would be lost.

    Just factually wrong on this one, sorry. I can prove it, too:

    The films we have right now are already severely cut versions of the story and many people agree that we lost some good shit in that cutting

    As someone who did gonna school: how exactly could you cut Fellowship any further without completely removing something essential? That movie is on fast forward it has so little time to get through the story

  • What does it tell you that the Chinese government itself wants to protect their people from the influence of TikTok?

    Absolutely nothing?

    This is a country that has incredibly authoritarian laws on the books regarding the internet because it doesn't want it's people reading """""western propaganda"""", why would we assume it's reason for continuing that behaviour isn't the same as it's always been: bullshit

  • You might need to check the settings for it, I believe you have to set the item on the.... Fuck it I'll go snag a screenshot of my settings app I use this daily

    One of these 2 settings might be getting in your way:

    You have like 30s to put the device on your phone or it won't charge and you have to unplug/replug your phone

  • The real advantage to the battery share feature (ime) is charging shit like my pixel buds while I also charge my phone, using 1 cable

  • I think what you're failing to understand is that newer HVAC units are designed to be run in a specific way

    Not missing that, as I and yourself said it's done via the actual HVAC unit and not the thermostat

    but without proper "eyes" the brains are useless.

    No, the nicer features just don't get used, it doesn't make the entire unit not work

    there's just too much risk of things to go terribly wrong and multiple people literally die.

    Lol, people aren't going to die if you replace your thermostat with an RPI unless you wired the thermostat so poorly that you somehow manage to schock someone touching the thermostat

    Again: thermostats just tell the HVAC to run and which part to run, any other advanced features are not required to be catered to in order to work. My brand new fancy schmancy heat pump with all those cool features listed runs off the same $2 Honeywell thermostat my old heater did, if I want the advanced features like zone sensing I can upgrade my thermostat, but my heat pump works without them just fine

  • It's stupidity and racism

    Ive lived in California my whole life and have known many illegal immigrants and their families

    The second most racist group of people I've ever fucking met are Mexican immigrants (legal or not) already here who think the ones who haven't come here for whatever reason are "empty headed wetback rapists who make us all look bad, that's why we're here!" (their words almost exactly)

    Pointed out to one guy I knew in 2016 that if the wall was what he wanted then he and his family wouldn't even fucking be here and he responded with "we were smart enough to get here before the wall!"

    These are the same morons who will call someone born there but raised here "unpure" as well so you can kinda tell they're not the best of people already

  • Those are all very nice things to have in an improved thermostat, I agree completely

    The point I was replying to was making the erroneous claim that basic operation of an HVAC isn't possible with an RPI thermostat because of things the thermostat doesn't handle

  • All of that is handled by the HVAC (if there's anything to handle) and not the thermostat

    Thermostats can be (and most often are) a bimetallic strip that bends one way as it cools and bends the other way as it warms, and that flips some switches that you set for temperature ranges which then demands cool or hot from your hvac

  • approximately four times faster.

    It's easy to be faster when you're catching up to already existing tech, I doubt their economic system mattered much in that regard

  • And of course my favorite the A-10 for blowing shit up on the ground

    Your favorite is the one famous for friendly fire?

    Yeah, not surprising you'd hate the F-35 if you like that POS
