I’ve patiently waited until the flashing guide for the roborock s8 was out, went to buy the s8 pro ultra, just to discover valetudo has dropped the support, because appearently a different version of the same robot was silently released, that would’ve been turned into a brick if I tried the installation procedure.

Now I have a dumb robot. It does like 95% of what I expect it to do, but I might at least solder an ep32 to the top buttons so that scheduling through the home assistant would be possible

And I think it’s about time we do something about it!

The more shocking is that one guy who KNOWS it’s sqlite, but ain’t afraid to admit it!

I record all my phone calls. It allows me to pretend not to forget all the names, dates, places and other important details we just talked about with the other person as soon as the call ends.

A favor is just a form of debt, and debt is money. It does not matter whether it’s written down on paper, or just remembered.

It was the support cost as far as I remember. Way too many people were too confused about how Bitcoin works.

Volatility was not the concern, at least for Valve. They’ve utilized a payment gateway that just swapped the BTC to USD right away. Which was still a single point of failure, but in case of bitcoin, the company switching a payment gateway does not affect the UX for the customer as much.

Next up: Un-inventing fire!

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Capitalism, is in fact, Fascism, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Government with Benefits.

Do we want mandatory ID checks? Because this right here is the way to get them.

There was no $70 alternative back then. There is now. Hell, my first smart watch was 30€.

A man uses the internet to poison himself. The story as old as time But if we stick the AI in the title, we can get some sweet clicks out if it.

What the actual fuck…

You know the old saying… The politicians don’t want children to be able to recognize a cunt.

The comoanies are completely capable of doing something, but this is not a competition in doing something. Plus, aiming for a PG13 world will have consequences far worse than a text generator doing exactly what it is asked.

When I was complaining about the 10 pieces of paper, each needing a signature and a stamp, just to close one of my bank accounts, the clerk has informed me that some of their procedures has switched to an electronic signature instead. I was pumped! Until he finished the rest of the sentence. By the electronic signature he meant the squigly line, just on a touchscreen.

Some people strive to achieve the pure zen. At that moment I’ve achieved pure cringe instead.

It’s strange though, because that same bank has an excellent API and batch processing available.

Imagine being so brainwashed by the omnipresent DRM and always-online devices, you forget how podcasts work.

The per viewer cost saving must be fractions of a penny.

For a national television, sure. For the hundreds of thousands of small influencers seeing this free advertisement on TV, it would be a major cost saving.

Imagine all the ladies from the tiktok mills not having to make funny faces on camera for hours at a time anymore.

Talk about the uncanny valley… They look like an instagram filter dialed up to 11.
