- Comment on Solar Powered Wifi Camera with Wireguard 4 days ago:
Just saw a new outdoor Wyze camera with a motorized head, small solar panel, SD-card, and wifi for around $80. If you figure out the server side, it might be a good hardware foundation.
Other option is a Pi-based camera.The server side would be easier to set up, but you would have to figure out power, enclosure, and weatherproofing.

That is pretty evil.
Without signing attestation (both developer and code) there will be no way to find out who was responsible and stop the propagation. This will happen again.

Every time I see stories like this I feel sorry for the kid. Never learning to socialize with other kids their own age, and not getting taken seriously by adults until they’re much older.

- Comment on Power Companies Are Using AI To Build Nuclear Power Plants 3 weeks ago:
The power company AI will generate the regulatory reports. The regulatory commission’s AI will summarize and score them for faster turnaround. Only 30% chance of hallucination making it through each cycle.
After a few iterations, they will get fully approved to deploy the giant hamster wheel with Bluetooth, powered by Nuclear-flavored RedBull.
- Comment on Big Tech Wants AI to Shop for You—Retailers Want Your Data. Guess Who’s Winning? 3 weeks ago:
Humans shopping online allows the seller to offer discounts, upsell services, create serendipity (“How about a lip gloss 50% to go with those shoes?”), and build brand loyalty. Or if you’re a techie, how about 50% off an SD-card with the purchase of a gadget?
This is why retailers create these expensive e-commerce websites instead of just dumping their wares into E-Bay or Amazon. They also do things like web heatmaps and other types of analytics to optimize the UI/UX.
Having an AI agent do the shopping means they lose all that. It’s any wonder they’re going to fight AI shopping agents. Be prepared for a lot more complex captchas when roaming around the web.

I got a couple of these off AliExpress. Added printed labels on the drawers. Work pretty well. For larger projects, a plastic shoebox with all the bits and bobs needed for that one project.

I sat hunched under my elderly mother’s car, video running on the phone in one hand, showing how to remove a ridiculously complicated headlamp cover, just to replace a busted headlight. Hand scraped and bleeding, but it got done. Would have NEVER figured it out otherwise.
Thanks that one YouTuber.

- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Way back when, MSFT would set up developer meetups and give everyone who showed up a free Windows phone for development. I still have a couple in a box somewhere. People would take them, but nobody wanted to make apps. Everybody was busy enough with iOS and Android.
MSFT even tried to pay companies to port their popular apps to Windows. A few took the money and did the port, but nobody wanted to support it.
Samsung was also trying to get people to write apps for their watches. Same issue. It’s really hard to break in if you’re entering an already crowded market.
