The problem is they make a really good printer at a really good price… But with them locking down their printers, I won’t be buying another.

Unless your computer is from the 70s, it has a computer.
That said, “always connected, getting firmware updates” is a new thing.

Oh, for sure, it’s just for fun
My entire design goal is making it invisible for my wife, so things just work. As an example, I took our doorbell, and made it smart… Not a smart doorbell, but I have an esphome between the doorbell and the chime, so I can turn the chime off, or I can have our phonea get notified.

Home assistant is the way to go, all run locally on a homePC, I have ZigBee lights and switches automated
An example is my front deck lights turn on at sundown, at 10% brightness, at 11;00 pm they drop to 1%.
If motion is detected they brighten up for a bit.
On holidays they have appropriate RFB effects.
All of this is automated, none of it talks to the internet.

I’ll check that out. I thought that a .fla is the project file, and .swf would be the game.

Recently found an old .fla of a game I made in highschool, and I have no idea how to turn it into a playable file. Would love to recover it
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 2 weeks ago:
Yea, I use it for home assistant, it’s amazingly powerful… And so incredibly dumb
It will take my if and statements, and shrunk it to 1/3 the length, while being twice as to robust… While missing that one of the arguments is entirely in the wrong place.

They are not uncomfortable because you are used to them
Bet if you spent your life as a nudist, and someone asked you to wear jeans, you would find them super uncomfortable!
Long story short: wear a seat belt (not you, the theoretical “them”)

Yea
Vibe coding is for us armatures, who want the occasional hello world
I use it for programing home assistant, since I just can’t get my head around the YAML.

The problem is that people like MC and visa would then ban you from sending money TO RaunchyCard.
So it just moves the problem back a step.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 3 months ago:
I know people complain about big phones, but as a 6’5" guy i LOVE my big screens, and i think i’d struggle with a 6.3" screen. I have a 22U i plan to use for another year or two, and would go larger if i could.

the largest problem with older TV’s isnt the resolution. even on my 75" its hard to tell the difference between 4k and 1080p… But HDR is amazing, it really blows me away each time a scene lights up!
