I tried that with one once back in the pre-bot days. While someone could certainly have made it work, I couldn't make sense of the IR commands with available tools and this model wasn't something that others had already figured o

That sounds neat. But it's just a furnace (or just an aircon) that is controlled by a thermostat. In broad strokes, the combined system just turns things on and off (or speeds them up, or slows them down). So what would it do with tha

I guess we could. Using a whole Raspberry Pi seems like overkill, though: Support for a wide variety of common USB serial chips is already built into esphome. https://esphome.io/components/usb_uart/ Just wire it

I can imagine it very easily, depending on the keyboard. For example: The Keychron C3 HE I'm typing this on (which I ranted elsehere about lacking the open-source/QMK firmware it is advertised to have) has some peculiar features

One of these days, maybe I'll get an opportunity to explore it. :) I seem to be running across more people saying interesting things about QMK than I used to, but maybe some of that is just observational bias bringing it to the forefr

Yes. > A question about this situation to their support email resulted in assignment of a ticket number, followed by silence. It's annoying, but it's not the end of the world. I don't even really know what I'd do with

I've got better things to do than to die on a hill made of a corporate lie that is worth less than $100.

I may be an outlier, but: It has been years since the last time I had food delivered. It always seems better, cheaper, faster, and more definite to just go get it myself.

Clever caching? There's only so many different ways to build a single item like a hamburger, or a chicken salad sandwich. Eventually, ~all of the necessary recipes will be created naturally just by using the thing, and these results ca

FYI: When looking around my favorite spots for decent, cheap food in the small towns in Ohio where I hang out, it's easy to find plenty of them with a score of at least 4.2 on Google. But it's somewhat difficult to find some that

I'm cynical, too, and I have good reason to be. I recently bought a Keychron TKL keyboard that uses Hall effect switches. It is, in my opinion, a lovely board to type on and so far I like it quite a lot. (Hopefully, this board with i

That's the problem: Any task can indeed be screwed up. It can be worse than it was before. A new, not-oversize cover plate that actually-matches in color is fine. As you suggest, it is trivial to get that right. But people screw it

It's art. Sometimes, ease of use and perfection aren't the goals at all. It's easy to take quickly take a series of as many very realistic photos as a person wants with a wide variety of digital cameras, including the ones w

It's kind of fun to note that those are dithered PNGs, not JPEGs. That's good for this use as the lossy compression of JPEG is specifically geared towards working with smooth gradients of 24-bit photographs, and that kind of smoot

I've looked at those and they do seem nice. This one was very cheap, at Aldi; if it dies, it dies. I try to avoid spending too much money on cookware because whenever I live with other people, the tendency is for them to find some way

They're 2080 Supers, not 2080 Tis. And apparently, RAM upgrades just aren't cheap/easy/possible ATM either way. But if those RAM upgrades were a thing, then I think these cards might max out at 16GB instead of 22GB, as

Bummer. I have a box full of 2080s that are leftovers from a previous foray.

Yes. An external search engine is still there, for now. But the user doesn't necessarily know anything about that, and they don't necessarily care. If/when the time is reached when external search engines are no longer prese

Almost certainly. That's OK, isn't it? Folks have been Googling things poorly for as long as there has been a Google to Google with, and now they have bots that do it on their behalf. The only issue is that the eyeballs stayed w

I interpreted "recycle" as ~synonymous with "reuse," which is a valid and common way of using the word. If that's not what is intended with the word, then what is? The transformative form of recycling, like when th

I hate it, too. And obviously, sellers are motivated to seek to maximize the sale price, while buyers are motivated to minimize it. But if these hacks do increase the sale price: When ( if ) you find a suitable place that has not had the

PTFE is very inert, but that doesn't mean that I want to eat more of it than I have to. And as a practical matter: Once it begins flaking off, more tends to follow. I don't know if that's because of oxidation of the alumin

I can think of a few things that relate, as someone who is more in the business of taking random things apart for repair than building them new: In the mysterious future, I might have a widget that needs to be disassembled which uses this g

And the rest of the plumbing. I'm not saying that homeowners can't plumb properly (many do excellent work), but: Too many times, it's just ugly. Sometimes it's easy to find: The "soft" parts under the sink a

Those are things I've noticed when I've shopped for homes. Mostly, I notice that they look like efforts that were motivated by trying to get a high price, but are limited to being fast and cheap. So while I do note them, my percep

I'm very impressed that they were able to use glue on PTFE for...approximately anything at all. That's impressive. But I'd like to take this opportunity to present my semi-annual rant about hot glue (edit: from a hot glue g

I don't know what it is, either. But it creeps me out and makes me feel dirty every time it shows up. It does this in ways that a boring corpo captcha or Cloudflare prompt do not, so it's presence of this artwork more than it i
