I would absolutely love something like the utility in the post for my TCL TVs. You hit the nail on the head with your description.

I feel like video playback is something that very rarely pops up in these discussions. Yes your old laptop boots up and runs Linux and you can write emails and browse a forum, but video streaming is pretty much off the table at anything abo

I’ve had a few different mechanical keyboards and they’ve all felt … OK but not great. I bought a Unicomp Model M relatively recently and it has been awesome. Really appreciate the feeling of the keys. Would get absolutely crucified in a

Probably a bit of both if I was to hazard a guess. MS has VS Code, which is definitely the elephant in the room as far as go to IDEs in the environments I’ve been in lately. So right now they’re spending engineering time on both VS Code an

Ehh, I’m far from a pro cook, but I do have an induction burner as I prefer it to my traditional electric range. I would still pick gas if I had the option. I realize this is a niche reason, but cooking with a wok is pretty much useless on

What reason is that? Piracy? Or security?

I have one of these too. I used it for a few months and aside from the battery life, I loved it. I wish the bootloader would’ve been open for custom roms that could’ve taken advantage of it better, but it’s been in a drawer ever since. I st

Zapp is Salesforce. Not a programming language, but often used in places where a programming language would be better suited. Overconfident and underqualified.

Carbon steel has similar properties to cast iron with regards to non-stick but at a lower weight.

I was incredibly underwhelmed by the Elipsa and returned it when it came out. Expecting it to have improved over the past year, I ordered the 8” version (which I forget the name of now), but it was equally as underwhelming and I returned it

I think Sam Harris used something like this to argue that there is no self. Basically he said something along the lines of like “picture a movie in your head” and then “where did that choice come from? You had the ability to choose if the

That’s because styptic pencils are generally aluminum based, as is anti-perspirant.

Some of these posts have been incredibly interesting but this is the first one to be both bizarre but also immediately permanently learned. What the hell? What else is this weird body capable of haha

Basically—but at the same time, for an end user sometimes it’s nice just running a binary and not needing to be like “alright so in order to use this application I’m going to need to install pyenv because if I install another Python app may

Right—and that's not a "faulty script", that's a "faulty process for running scripts".

I mean, if it’s got flags to represent what you’re asking it to do and you set the wrong flag that’s not a script issue. I can run rm -rf / and that’s not a fault of rm, that’s a behind the keyboard issue.

If you’re using Docker, the wg-easy project made it pretty easy. Otherwise I’d recommend PiVPN which worked well also with minimal setup. Setting WireGuard up from scratch was a failed endeavor multiple times for me but both of those mentio

For multi-way switches what I’ve usually done is wire one switch to the actual load (light) and a relay, and the other switches I pass the wire through as though the switch isn’t connected to the load and then use MQTT to provide the approp

I have local-only RTSP cameras in the house that record when we’re not in the house, set up via nodered and room assistant for presence detection (of us, to know when to stop recording) to BlueIris. Those feeds are encrypted and uploaded to

I live in Vancouver. It absolutely is an issue. It’s a huge issue. We are the primary port for western Canada. All shipments that would have been routed via road and rail travel through Vancouver now need to be rerouted either via air or t

Why wouldn’t they just weatherproof their indoor kiosks? Maybe I’m just a Luddite but I don’t see why AI is necessary to tell someone to pour me a coffee and give me a total to tap a payment card against and go on with my day.

That’s a thing on 13” MBP as well, it happened to me. I needed to use some super antiquated BT USB adapter and provide the digital equivalent of an indigenous rain dance in order to revive it. Apparently Apple was just straight up replacing

I feel so stupid that I was chasing down audio hum issues for a while and even though I knew it was ground related I didn’t even clue in to use the 3 prong adapter.

Nailed it. The whole time I was reading I had this uncanny valley feeling of like “this is so close to satire but not quite” waiting on the needle to drop that sealed it as satire, but it never came.

Unless you’re also automating a VPN connection to your home network when you leave it, which can be very helpful if you’re running something like pihole
