  • JD Vance and his 40 cars visit Milan, Italy 🇮🇹

  • You’re right. Only the first two vehicles show signs of armouring. I don’t think that all this theatrics would happen and then not put the cargo in the armoured car. But I’m not an expert, just a critic

  • The first signs of burnout are coming from the people who embrace AI the most

    Jump

  • If you’re working with someone on a project, there’s a bit of a team decision for when to just put it to rest for the day, and the team energy enables late night adrenaline to keep pushing through sometimes. But if the “team” is a chatbox with bad ideas…

  • One size doesn’t fit all.

    Moreover, the president is getting the treatment of a king. They are ostensibly fungible assets. There’s a succession plan. The more they’re protected, the more they’re a target (and invading foreign countries doesn’t help).

  • From a security perspective, these only serve to create an extensive roadblock - and a traffic jam as seen at the end. Disable one in front, one in rear, and you’ve got them kettled. Plus, as you can see, it’s a very slow moving convoy. A dozen bike cops and two cars (Couchfucker + security detail) would be sufficient.

    Whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

  • Tesla’s Head of North American Sales Out After Just Over Six Months, With Canadian Sales Down 60%+

  • Fucking Chevy makes a better car.

  • top of the line 5th gen

    How many flight hours before a service requiring parts only sourced in USA? Aka the “not a killswitch” that just consists of making a hangar queen that needs a steady supply of unobtainable parts.

  • Do we need more advanced computer chips, radios, etc.?

    Jump

  • We need new chips because number needs to go up.

    Also because someone thinks JavaScript is a good language in which to create applications, and CPU and RAM are cheaper than a SWE that can optimise their code.

  • Yeah it’s just time and motion. I don’t like it to be honest, but my sensors are either not great or in a bad spot. I am interested in the mmWave sensors but not rushing.

  • What's that word?

  • Do you like working from home? Yes or no, gimme some reasons.

    Jump

  • One reason that’s in favour is that people who cannot WFH benefit because there’s fewer people clogging up the commute. I always bring this up with people who say “must be nice but I can’t build a house/save patients/etc. from home”. Some people like that feel that because they need to be somewhere, office dwellers should too. But it actively makes their life more difficult!

  • Are you selfhosting your business with employees? What are the software that you are using?

    Jump

  • There is a reason that cloud services are popular with businesses. How does self-hosting this provide value to your customers in line with the time that you spend on IT tasks instead of your product? Do you have enough faith in your build that it will be secure and reliable? If you have downtime, does your business have flexibility to accommodate you doing IT work for hours without loss of revenue? If you go on vacation, who is on call?

    I’m not saying you shouldn’t, but do consider the time investment and risks. There are alternatives to M365 and Google.

  • A pedestrian was killed by a driver in Columbus, Ohio. He was forced to walk on the road because officials refused to clear the snow-covered sidewalks

  • Thats also awesome for visibility.

  • The way I have it set up, HomeKit (hey siri) has full control over the stuff people want to control. So hey Google open the blinds/turn on the lights always works. But the blinds might still close 30 seconds later if that’s when the trigger occurs. Homeassistant is my coordinator.

    Generally there’s limited use of HomeKit in my house because there’s a lot of automations. HomeKit only is a bunch of switches. I would set up Google the same way.

    I don’t have smart switches if I can’t easily come up with a good automation - either motion based (which doesn’t work if the sensor doesn’t face enough of the room or if there isn’t enough motion to trigger it eg sitting in office chair) or time based (you positively know that between x and y hrs you need the lights on). And the automation needs to be pretty reliable; if I’m overriding constantly I’ve done it wrong. The convenience factor of being able to turn it off from my bedroom doesn’t add up in my case.

    I also expose some switches to HomeKit that toggle things eg a water recirculating pump to toggle before starting the shower for instant hot water. But I’m a nerd.

  • Run everything through HA as the first step, and the frontend that your family uses is somewhat secondary.

    I use HomePods and the home app as a front end. I assume you can do the same idea with Google.

    There’s nothing wrong with setting up smart switches and using the physical buttons. If you don’t have an automation set up for the activity of the moment, just hit the button. That’s how it should work.

  • Where can I find videos of JD Vance getting booed at the Olympics, given that most show cheering? Even Team USA commented, so booing happened. But I can’t find videos :(

    Jump

  • The Olympics are a big deal for region locking. Exclusivity deals. If OP is USA they won’t be able to see anything but NBC.

  • Shared email setup using Proton and simplelogin

  • I think that my core use which is just getting anything@example.com to the right inbox is included with the paid version. But sending from these aliases needs simplelogin.

  • How much do you need to retire early?

    Jump

  • For me, I think the number is around USD5 million. The number will go down over time.

  • A financial advisor you pay is working for you

    One who is “free” is a salesperson.

    There’s good and bad advisors on both sides, but it’s important to know. There’s people out there paying over 5% management fees.

    He works for a local brewery now.
