  • What in the hunger games fuck is he wearing while looking like he’s shitting himself?

  • Fooling IoT devices as if they have internet access is it possible? (Yeelight minas ceiling light goes unavailable after physical switch-off without internet.)

    Jump

  • You would need to figure out what it’s communicating with the server and replicate that, so at best this would need a per device (Ie wiz bulbs vs yeelight would be different) solution and would be a massive pita to figure out.

    Is there a reason you need to turn them off at the switch instead of turning them off with the WiFi control?

  • Sure and my gripe small as it is is about the DESKTOP app. I don’t see a reason for what feels like libreoffice but worse on the desktop when there are already so many better apps for desktops.

  • The rent thing isn’t super common (but it has been around for forever here). My mom had to start paying rent at 16, and in her wonderful mercy she waited till the younger siblings were in their 20s to do the same. Nobody else I knew really had rent as a thought prior to graduating college, and my dad to the best of my knowledge never paid his parents rent.

    I can’t really argue the overall point though. We are set up to see everything as a binary of either “I can screw them over because I have x item/power” or “they can (and should) screw me over because they have x.” It’s painful to watch the cruelty of the supposed “Christian” country here is it implodes around us.

  • What Does Lemmy Think of WikiHow These Days?

  • They usually cover the basics of something pretty well, so I guess mostly positively? I use them maybe once a year at most though so no idea if they’re turning to garbage lately or not.

  • I’m happy they’re on mobile, it’s better than nothing but I don’t particularly like them or their layout on mobile. Because of that I don’t see why I’d want them on the desktop when I’d frankly usually prefer to rdp into a Remote Desktop over use their mobile app.

  • Their iOS apps work mostly but have annoying glitches for me. Android they run so slow they’re infuriating to use on a cheap tablet. I haven’t used their web app in a while on nextcloud but it wasn’t great either. Feature wise it seemed about the same when they work right. I guess it’s a nice coat of paint if you like web app type look.

  • Not just no vetting the odd time I’m in there I report that shit and they NEVER take it down. Just say they deemed it “didn’t go against facebook’s community standards.”

  • Some people like them, they do have at least some ties to a Russian company which is a no from me at the moment.

  • People who used to vape or smoke, how did you / what made you eventually quit?

  • If I remember right the nicotine quit rate is in the single digits for adhd folks so I’d definitely believe it.

    Jump

  • Found distractions like exercise the first few weeks and tried quite af few times before it stuck. I will note though, after I quit I got diagnosed with/started meds for adhd. Turns out most of my withdrawal symptoms were exactly the same as feeling my meds wear off while tapering into them…haven’t had a craving since the meds normalized. Probably would’ve had a way easier time quitting if I’d gotten that diagnosed earlier in life.

  • I’ve bought a number of raspberry pico chips abs a pack of generic esp32s over the last few years and every time I think I have enough as backups I suddenly find more uses for them! I have an old floor radio converted to act as a light/dimmer control, makeshift hvac control, and flip a night light (also made from a pico w) in the bedroom, another one in the living room in a little coffee table box using home assistants api over WiFi. I also have 3, soon to be four (adding some really fun electromagnet parts) to convert an old electric organ to a full virtual pipe organ. This project was what got me started, the “off the shelf” conversion kits looked like they were running off an esp32 ish and mcp23017’s and cost $1,500-2,000 for just the pcbs, no wiring and no speakers etc. doing it with the picos and a crap loads of doorbell wire $160+$600 for high quality speakers, and $260 for a touch screen and vesa arm. So complete project cost me $600 less than just the pcbs. The fourth one I was waiting for cheap used parts to appear on eBay, they are insanely expensive new ($30-50 each) and I need 56 of them. It’ll be a similar price saving at the end of the day!

    Long ramble to say these chips are cheap and don’t take long to help make life more convenient, and sometimes way cheaper if the project was niche.
