   I'm moving to a new house in the next few weeks, so I'll be firing this up again soon. It was fun to model our current house, and it was very useful for figuring out interior design. I also used it to set up some floorplans in Hom

   This is really cool! Like something out of Wallace and Gromit. I love projects like this. I've been wanting to add a remote controlled motor to our trash and recycling bins so that I can drive them up our driveway (which is up a steep

   I think that might be the average hourly rate since they started the channel. I think it would make more sense to calculate it on a monthly basis. It was probably close to $0/hour for the first few years, and it must be much higher now

   This is awesome! It would be interesting to generate individual stems for each instrument, or even MIDI notes to be rendered by a DAW and VST plugins. It's unfortunate that most musicians don't release the source files for their s

   That's an interesting idea. I wonder if this would work with inpainting - erase the 16th cell and let the AI fill it in. Then upscale each frame. Has anyone experimented with this?

   Is there anything I can do to help poor and homeless people with technology? I'm in New Zealand and I would like to find some more ways to help people.

   I'm not sure how accurate it is but the values seem reasonable. It hovers around 360ppm for fresh air. I can see it creep up if I'm in my office with the windows and door closed, and it spikes up if I breathe onto it.

   I recommend looking at Zigbee devices. They are local-first and don't require an internet connection (or any network at all.) If you don't have any existing home automation software or hardware, then the easiest way to get started

   I think they probably did this for SEO. Having /maps on the root domain will help it rank higher in search. This was a joke, but now I'm wondering if Google services are special cases that are hard-coded in the search results. Or

    Thanks for the recommendation! I'm going to try them out now. EDIT: I was able to export my main "Evernote" notebook into a 1.8GB .enex file, and have started importing all the notes into UpNote. It works well so far! I reall

    Very nice! Your Raaco organizer project looks a lot more convenient! I will keep yours in mind as well. Thanks for the tip about card binder sheets! I was hoping to find something like that at a stationary store, but they don't seem to

    This is fantastic! I'm going to start using this as the baee for all my scripts, and will also start using shellcheck (on CI as well.)

    This is really cool! I'm already running Home Assistant and have bluetooth temp/humidity sensors around the house, so it would be great to add some of these. I've never ordered a PCB like this before with SMT assembly. I have

    This seems like a really nice tool. I'm quite happy with some of the "older" tools I'm still using: Shortcut for project management at my company, Trello for personal todo lists, and Evernote for notes. Trying to stick t

    I might give it another go. I tried switching from Evernote a while ago but was a bit underwhelmed. I don't really see the value of bidirectional links yet, the search feature in Evernote has been working fine for me. But will try it o

    I got into home automation because I wanted to control the temperature in my office using a plug-in electric heater and a temperature sensor. I set up a thermostat in Home Assistant that would turn on the heater when the room was cold, and

    Sure, but it's long enough that I don't get annoyed when I need to change a battery. If I ever build or renovate a house then everything will be wired, but these are working really well for now.

    This is great news, the Matter protocol sounds like it will make things a lot easier in the future. If you're looking to get started with home automation, I would recommend using Home Assistant as the central software to control everyt

    That's a really cool idea. Maybe it's possible to use this tool to build a two-step process: 1. Remove all furniture from the room. 2. Add furniture to the empty room. It sounds like img2img might make it possible to preserve the

    This is really cool! My #1 feature request would be to try to preserve the floorplan and not change any of the walls, windows, or doors. That sounds like a very difficult challenge though. I've seen some new AI tools recently that can
