It's surprisingly easy and flexible. One can just buy a Zigbee dongle for 20$, connect it to the machine running Home Assistant, and have sensors, light bulbs and such from many manufacturers working together via HA in no time. No need

Of course you would expect this, considering your comment history is full of defending Putin's actions. In real world however, Finnish officials still see sabotage as the most likely cause of these "accidents". Poorly staffed

All media has propaganda. But if you objectively look at what Russia is doing in Ukraine, and then look at RT's coverage of the war, you must be pretty brainwashed to trust RT any more than American media. There are plenty of corruptio

This is one of those conflicts where there are no good guys. Both sides have way too many people who want to see the other side burn more than they want peace. For outsiders like me, not picking sides is the best course of action.

Almost any form of media can be addicting. Kids these days might watch TikTok, but my worst addiction since young age has been reading online news. Once I got diagnosed with ADHD and tried stimulant medicine, I noticed that the time I spend

What happens to the parts that are cut down and used is what matters. If you build long-lasting houses from them, then it's probably good for the climate, as long as new tree is planted in its place. If you use the wood to make toilet

In academic / white collar work for sure. But if you're something like a skilled craftsman whose services are in demand, you can probably do fine with less social networking.

At least behind all hype generative AI has some real beneficial use cases, unlike blockchain which is mainly used for drug trade, tax evasion and speculative investment.

Good advice if you don't have a family. Utterly impossible for someone with small kids and a wife who is also working.

Most stuff that "matters" or is "useful" also pays next to nothing, or has been outsourced to China if you happen to live in the West. There's nothing useful to do for most of today's workforce in post-industri

Extremely unlikely considering the speed of the aircraft at the time of bird impact, and the fact the cockpit door is locked & it would take some time from others to enter it. To me this seems more like pilots mishandling the situation

Most experts agree that the best way to de-escalate conflict with Russia is to show them overwhelming force. Diplomacy, compromise and all soft stuff that doesn't work with Russian culture. They see it as weakness, and push further. Bu

And yet that 20w brain can make me a sandwich and bring it to me, while state of the art AI models will fail that task. Until we get major advances in robotics and models designed to control them, true AGI will be nowhere near.

Hopefully applicants will remember these decisions in the future when job market turns better, and go elsewhere. Companies like this deserve only employees that treat their employer with equal contempt, or are otherwise plain bad at their j

In my opinion the main problem is that there are too many graduates from certain social sciences and humanities compared to the actual need of employers / academia. It would be better to have fewer scientists with adequate and consiste

I was talking about city centers. Good luck finding a house with a yard from city center of a major European city, for a price that you can afford without being a millionaire. Just like in America, living in a proper house in Europe does us

Basic psychology. Iran has tried to kill these rebel forces since the Arab Spring, and now you think they will suddenly become friends of Iran once in power? Not going to happen. As far as Lebanon goes, decades of wars are mainly a result o

Yeah, I bet people of Aleppo really will really miss those secular bombs landing on them, just as political prisoners will miss those secular beatings.

Oh yeah, the "digital native" myth. I'm not convinced children using ChatGPT to do their homework will actually make them more productive workers. More likely it's going to have the opposite effect, as they're going

"If people can't afford a house then they can easily look to other markets, they just don't want to because they feel entitled to "their county"." Your comment is seriously detached from reality. If your whole

I agree. I wouldn't move to city center no matter how affordable or cheap it was. Living in an apartment block severely limits the way I can spend my free time compared to an actual house with a yard.

Everybody except Eastern EU countries closest to Russia. It's not just NATO, but also knowledge that they won't be attacked first which has resulted in low defense spending in Western Europe.

Understandable reaction. Leadership of totally unethical companies deserves no sympathy.

The main reason for the invasion is that Putin believes independent Ukraine shouldn't exist, and that it all belongs to Russia for historical reasons. It's obvious if you actually listen Putin's speeches. NATO is just an usef

If Americans truly lived in the best country, they could afford enough vacation to just travel for fun. America is indeed the best country for rich, highly successful people. The minimum wage is not eaten by regulations, but the corporate p

It seems that these days academia is mostly garbage for anyone who wants things like money, family or a healthy work-life balance.

I think it reduces the risk of a nuclear war. The thing to understand about Russia is that all their "red lines" are empty talk, and what they really respect is force. Ukraine appeared weak to Putin, and that's why he invaded

With upcoming US government it's starting to feel like the Chinese Communist party isn't all that bad in comparison. At least they aren't actively trying to kill future generations simply to protect big oil profits and to opp

Yes, global geoengineering will be probably deployed to buy us some time to get off fossil fuels.

Next time I would suggest selling the parts to someone with more patience rather than "throwing everything in the trash". The situation you described does suck, but I've built several machines, often from cheap used parts, an
