What you're asking for feels akin to feeding a hungry person chocolate cake and nothing else. Yeah maybe it feels nice, but if you just keep eating chocolate cake, obviously bad shit happens. Something else needs to be fixed, but just

I'm kind of surprised it got that bad for people, but I think it's a good sign that even if we're far from AGI or luxury fully automated space communism robots, the profound (negative) social impacts of these chat bots are al

For anyone thinking of doing this, please please don't. A car battery is probably never a sealed deep cycle battery, and the UPS's charging circuitry is not intended to charge a battery of this size (this is assuming you're u

I really don't get why people like the Minisforum stuff over alternatives. I've unfortunately been given one, and honestly I'm really unimpressed between crap firmware, no real expandability and just all of the other compromi

It would be nice to see some egos checked on the hype train, but I agree with you that this has a good likelihood of backfiring.

What are the odds this ends with Intel getting nationalized? I think it's really looking kind of non-zero now.

Automotive ignitions barring a few stupid setups in the 90s like the Jeep XJ (which was laughably easy to steal, but it was Chrysler and AMC so you can just expect certain levels of incompetence and shit design) have been much more than jus

I've never seen anything but problems with keyless ignitions. It really seems like a solution in search of a problem no one actually had, and makes the car much more irritating. I guess it's in line with the whole remove real cont

Following on to this, I would not be remotely surprised if drones continue to be a threat to see something like a man portable gepard hooked up to an EW system, as given the speed those things move and how hard even hitting regular old Cana

Even bubba's pissin hot 3.5 magnum bird shot is probably not getting above 300 or 400 feet vertical for starters, and then you've either got to deal with hitting it dead on with a tight pattern wad or accepting that the shot is go

How many watts and how much capital does it take to run this model? How many watts and how much capital does it take to run unity or unreal? I suspect there's a huge discrepancy here, among other things.

Some Reolink PoE cameras are OK, though a lot of people don't like them. Otherwise I would be looking for Axis (probably one of the best choices) or Dahua gear. Depending on how crazy you want to get, there are some vendors that make r

Not to say something isn't broken, but I've come to view a lot of these types of articles as just a subtle form of advertising and lobbying for development firms, especially the ones that just build tons and tons of 3-4 level apar

Just use some Reolink or similar ONVIF cameras like Axis or Dahua. Block traffic from them to anywhere other than your NAS. They're pretty simple, mine have the ability to just FTP captures to a given system, and thus I've got red

Notice how it wasn't and isn't a big deal when it's not in your own back yard (i.e. destroying blue collar professions); our chickens have just come home to roost. It's amazing the number of gullible, naive nerds out the

I mean, you've sort of reinvented Munin. It certainly fits the bill here, and would stop the need to do a bunch of extra work.

Honestly, for any sensor that's basically just read only, the best thing I've seen is to just avoid all of the bluetooth/wifi/zigbee/zwave entirely, and just use basic tried and true accurite (or similar) sensors th

Among the other wrong/dumb things in the post, equivocating all containers with "Docker" reveals a lot of ignorance. You can have your nice existing stuff, and still use containers (and reap the benefits) if you just use LXC.

Maybe that's why they got rid of Stéphane Graber...too much good work done too earnestly and too quietly.

An intelligent flatbed setup (what I think the Australians call "trays") is usually way better than a regular bed (barring maybe aerodynamics). A good Bradford or Circle D flatbed (as examples) can take way, way more punishment th

Are you joking or something? It's just check the gas and oil, hold down the brake lever on the handle, pull the crank a few times and away you go. Maybe it's old and has a fuel bulb or a choke, or fancy and has a transmission and

Sort of related, but that video feels like it might be kind of cruel to the donkey. It's hard to believe that it really enjoys flying like that (but then again maybe who knows).

Kind of sounds like the Toyota IMV, but we'll probably never see that truck ever in the US, unfortunately.

The Maverick is also kind of dumb because of the choice to do unibody instead of body on frame. I'm sure there's some weight savings or whatever, but at least on a body on frame truck, I can opt to change the bed out even on a sho
