Towing capacity is not a function of torque alone. You need to be able to brake your load, keep it stable behind the car and have enough juice on board to actually get it somewhere.

Interesting, every single car I've ever driven over here (Europe) has had that slider/knob, I'm pretty sure it's required by law. Newer cars with xenon headlights above a certain wattage must have self-leveling + headlig

And of course once you start watching James Hoffman's videos and seriously get into coffee, you'll quickly realize that high-quality coffee making is [currently] simply not automatable.

These devices are Zigbee, IKEA has been selling those for years. They can’t send data to IKEA, because they can’t send data anywhere, except the rest of your Zigbee mesh.

They’re Zigbee, so they need a coordinator, which you can buy from IKEA or any other brand that does Zigbee stuff, or you can fashion one from a Zigbee USB stick and a Raspberry.

My lights are all set to turn on after a power cut. That way if Home Assistant dies, I can flip any light switch off, then on, and it will work normally. My area doesn’t have any actual power cuts though.

What’s wrong with the Sonoff one (except maybe the range, I dunno)? I have four of these, they’re reasonably accurate (within 1 °C from each other) and work fine for me.

by Toutouxc 3y ago
I also have a few of these, mine serve as actual switches though. Sonoff stuff is solid.

My STYRBAR dimmers last for more than a year, definitely. But they’re only used like < 10 times a day.

My home automation is 100% Zigbee and 1/2 of it is IKEA stuff (switches, buttons, motion sensors, outlets, lightbulbs, LED drivers, air quality sensor, air purifier). No problems whatsoever. I believe I haven’t touched any of it for a

I’m not sure how to understand this, surely doing “computational photography” (combining exposures, AI denoising and sharpening, smart postprocessing) is in every way more complex than “traditional processing” (camera eyeballing the white b

Yeah, but this is not someone burning their garden furniture because their kid fell from it. They’re deciding to kill a living thing because it got startled once.

Yes, dogs can startle too. As far as we know, there is nothing wrong with the dog.

by Toutouxc 3y ago
I couldn’t believe the “let’s kill the dog for scratching the kid’s face” part. People will punch you in the face if you startle them enough, why should the dog be any different? And they won’t ever consider putting him up for adoption or s

I don't think so. You've posted a link to Wikipedia in an adjacent thread that clearly says that photo finish cameras do NOT use traditional 2D sensors, but a "1D" single-strip sensor with very high refresh rate. They in

Most MacBooks feel like Pareto-optimal machines. There exist other laptops with better displays, faster CPUs, better speakers, or just cheaper, but I'm pretty sure there are no alternatives with better or equal everything.

Should I not be able to send money to the same person twice in a row? Unless you add a single-use token to the form, your server doesn't know whether it was a misclick or a legitimate action. The client more or less knows.
