Hmmm, an RPi with a camera might well work. The problem there is more the amount of work I’d need to do - I haven’t got that kind of time right now.

An honest answer that it’s not currently easily doable is in and of itself useful.
This is a “nice to have”. I figured I’d ask preemptively so that I didn’t go down a blind alley. Thanks!
- Comment on Wildlife cam setups? 5 days ago:
I would be buying. The cam I borrowed wouldn’t fit the setup I want, I just mentioned it because I want that functionality but without the hassle of pulling the SD card.
So far it doesn’t sound like what I want exists, unfortunately.
- Comment on Wildlife cam setups? 5 days ago:
That essentially boils down to “build your own solution”, which under my current circumstances amounts to “don’t do it”. Not that I lack the skill or will but the spare time and energy I have is used on my baby daughter. I can’t justify rabbit holing on something like this.
It’s why I created this thread - to see if there’s a software and hardware combo that solves this with minimal additional work.

WiFi would be easily sufficient. We’re talking a distance of 10m from my router, tops.
- Comment on Wildlife cam setups? 6 days ago:
I borrowed a camera - it’s not the one I would be using for this.
That’s why I’m asking. I haven’t bought anything yet and don’t want to get the wrong thing.
- Comment on Wildlife cam setups? 6 days ago:
That would be possible, yep.

- Comment on Rockstar still hasn't offered a convincing reason for firing over 30 GTA 6 developers 2 weeks ago:
That’s the thing though - I find that what it saves me in time writing it costs me in reviewing. I hate reviewing.

If so, is it any good?
I imagine if one writes janky spaghetti then it’s easy to think that LLMs will result in redundancy. My experience is that they’re like having an over-enthusiastic junior who doesn’t learn. Useful when one can’t be bothered to write something with very limited scope but is quickly out of their depth on anything involved.

This really hammers home how naff the rats in Dishonored were. They’re slightly prettier than these but with eleven years of additional technological progress my expectations were a smidge higher.
- Comment on Meetings 2 weeks ago:
I tend to find them useful for taking nebulous, multi-faceted situations and turning them into a better understanding of what’s going on and then determining actual actions.
As in “different customers want us to do different things, some of which overlap, some of which take ages, some of which are quick, some of which take a load of work to even understand, and who have we got ready to tackle this stuff?”
The meeting takes a while and melts everyone’s brains by the end, but the result isn’t loads more long meetings.

- Comment on How open are you about yourself to others online in general? 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty open. I’ve been using the internet this way for about 25 years and to date it’s never been a problem. I’ve got clothes with my handle across the shoulders, etc. so it’s not a secret who I am. I try not to be too specific about some stuff that I don’t feel are mine to talk about, or that might be professionally problematic (I don’t really talk about my current employment anyway - I’m not ashamed of it, it’s just not very interesting and doesn’t particularly define me so it’s not very relevant).
In various online communities over the years I’ve been one of the biggest fish so I’m occasionally recognised which varies between flattering and a little uncomfortable (usually in terms of " You clearly want something so what is it you want me to do/not do or wish I had done/hadn’t done?” but with socially awkward pleasantries). This has resulted in someone trying to use an FAQ I wrote to argue against me, not realising - meaning I effectively had to dust off the old “don’t you know who I am‽” type of response (albeit minus the diva overtones).
In the past the odd person has been a bit stalky and then been surprised when this information doesn’t intimidate me (I recall a particularly memorable one being “I know what you look like” to which my response was a photo of me with a shocked face). I do care what other people think but disapproval doesn’t bother me all that much. I try to be true to myself so when confronted there’s nothing to use against me - there’s no cognitive dissonance (so if I was an arsehole, no, I meant to be, it wasn’t an accident, it’s what I felt was an honest response to the situation).

I’ve no idea what market penetration was like on a different continent twenty years ago 😂
Many Nokia phones ran Symbian S60 (I specify because there was a number of Symbian OSes. I’ve never quite pinned down why). Not just Nokia, but in their day Nokia were THE phone company.
I went from a Nokia N90 to an iPhone. The iPhone had fewer features at the time (the app store came later, it couldn’t record video - let alone edit it, etc.). The thing was that the features it did have were so much more user friendly. It was night and day.
Smartphones are surprisingly old although I doubt more than a tiny handful of their users actually knew what they were capable of back in the day. I had my N-Gage setup with a web browser, MSN Messenger client (the IM service of choice in the UK at the time), Xvid video player, Ogg Vorbis audio, office software, and quite a few games too (both Java and native). My N90 could use all the same software when I moved to it a few years later.

Smartphones are much older than that. Symbian Series 60 had a substantial install base long before the iPhone. The N-Gage was a smart phone, for example, so we’re not just talking high end stuff.

Smart phones didn’t start with those features.

- Comment on Cycling is changing at speed – but is Britain keeping pace? 4 weeks ago:
Given that we seem to be doing bugger all to reduce the arrogance of drivers, I bloody well doubt it. The notion of having to share anything, let alone not being the only stakeholders when it comes to infrastructure seems to be beyond the pale for a great many people in Britain.

I should get some new batteries for mine.
For me the PSP is a story of squandered potential. There were some great games but so few seemed to really embrace the potential of the format.
