I'd imagine Musk thinking everybody are laughing with him always because he is so desperate for validation and those that he can't gaslight himself are with him is why he is a nazi.
I'd imagine Trump to laugh to himself with self indulgence of all his smarts, and mostly scoffing and despise everyone that supports him or not including those closest to him and his own family. Thinking of it, it's not impossible he despises them all because they are supporting him. Idiots that allow themselves to be herded like sheep by a wolf like himself.
This dude manages to make his declarative nazi salute at the presidential inauguration and the world is watching look like he is a ten year old trying his best to be edgy in school assembly. How is it possible to be a central character in the midst of evil and be so fucking cringe?
My mind was on Unix systems with real time kernels from a time when Windows were but openings in the wall or roof of buildings or vehicles, fitted with glass in a frame to admit light or air and allow people to see out. And later Linux.
Adding to the list, I've got several IKEA lightbulbs (the dimmable white colour temperature ones) and a few sensors (door/window, climate) that work well. Can't recommend the IKEA remote control thingy because it just stopped working and nothing could bring it back up. The support didn't sound surprised and refunded it no questions asked though so that's good.
And I've got plenty of generic tuya switches and sensors (door/window, climate, water leak etc), both old WiFi ones that are flashed with ESPHome and newer ones on ZigBee from Ali. So far they all work great.
(With the exception that I killed one and then a replacement switch by having them power a tiny LED light. Counterintuitively it seems like a thing that can wear a cheap design smart switch out if the load is too small and something something I got it explained to me by someone that understands electric circuits but now it is gone again.)
I have everything running in Home Assistant on a repurposed old NAS with a Sonoff USB ZigBee stick.
It's pretty distant now, but I did imagine it from a user perspective to be something like a folder structure except you can "tag along" as you go, so that you can find the files from your subjective chain of association rather than remembering how the project is set up. Say to reach the file;
/project/year/keyword 1/keyword 2/file
/keyword 2/year/project/keyword 3/file
Consequently, you could have all relevant files collected or filtered depending on how you set up your paths like searching a database rather than keep track of different data structures of different department needs and such.
So you could call it a mind map of sorts.
My entry level experiments were with just "tags" (the keywords) but I imagined a file system that would incorporate everything filesystem like permissions, creation/modification dates, and next gen like file history, integration with custom content parsing and version control systems and stuff that are partially reality today with COW filesystems.
Oh, how interesting. Yeah, I did some very basic prototyping with a WebDAW (online storage technology that was popular by the time), but I was mostly interested in the concept that the actual execution of it. And I didn't have massive amounts of data in numerous files so no practical motivation either.
Reminds me of when I realized some twenty years ago that hierarchical filesystems are just a convention and I was daydreaming about a dynamic database-like filesystem where files are stored with meta data in tags that could be addressed according to whatever your chain of association may be. I even conceptual a bridge of how common OS like Windows or Linux could connect and interface such a file system using the familiar system of slashes transparently for the user with all the benefits and none of additional complicated learning. Of course this was way beyond any technical scope of mine and I didn't bring it to attention beyond nerdy beer conversation.
Not very, unless the nazis I'm reminding people that every day is punch one of manage to wheezingly waddle up from the basement and attempt to do something about it despite my genes being more pure norse whitey aryan than they could ever dream of so attempts of me life would just be another proof of my superior intellectual reasoning to their simplistic racism tribalism.
In my newish place there is a built in microwave without rotating plate. Do modern microwave ovens use technological innovations to spread out the waves somehow clever or is it just a stupid modern microwave?
