He’s adding tariffs to uninhabited islands, and islands that do no trade with the US. He has no idea how any of this shit works.

I assume lack of demand. In your own home, you’d be keeping the handle clean, and public washrooms often use the touchless sensor types.

People also just need to be more selective about where and how they automate.

For example, I wanted my coffee to automatically start in the morning. So instead of buying a “smart” coffee maker, I bought the dumbest possible one and a smart switch. Now, no matter what happens with that switch, the worst that can happen is I have to manually hit a button to get coffee.

The article writer got things confused. The meteor is the size of Dr Hans Pepper, not the soft drink Dr Pepper.

My order of operations is Canadian -> European -> Anywhere else on the planet -> Decide if I actually need the thing or not -> Chinese -> American.

I don’t know what is going on at Microsoft. I’m starting to think that they are trying to pivot to a completely different business model. In addition to this Windows 11 crap and XBox seemingly being given up on, they appear to be losing their embedded market as well. In the past, if you saw any screen in an industrial setting, there’s a good chance that there was the embedded Windows version behind that screen. Lately, all the new products are moving over to Linux.

My guess is that’s it’s easier to neatly package your data up for when they go to sell it.

If the magic smoke comes out, that’s entirely the electrician/electrical designer’s fault. Their circuits shouldn’t have let me do that.

I do industrial programming. Everything is so far behind that yelling at the “computers” does nothing. Physical violence is just about the only thing they respect.

I somehow came across a guy who seems to be doing exactly that first part for RGB control of Corsair products.

Dude will add support for your devices in a matter of days if it doesn’t already exist, and won’t even take donations for his project. The open source community is awesome sometimes.

That’s not really relevant here. This is more of a “genie is out of the bottle and now we have to learn how to deal with it situation”. The idea and technology of bots and AI training already exists. There’s no socioeconomic system that is going to magically make that go away.

Ok, I now need a screensaver that I can tie to a cloudflare instance that visualizes the generated “maze” and a bot’s attempts to get out.

Does Greenpeace even have any assets they could be made to pay with if they wanted to?

Oh no! Whatever shall they do?

Orcas are the biggest of the dolphins, and they are nightmare fuel for anything they decide is food.

Are you a great white shark that just smelled an orca? Better nope out to the other side of the planet before the orca eats your liver.

Are you a seal just swimming along? Oops, an orca just yeeted you 30 ft into the air with a tail slap, and is going to eat your stunned ass when you land.

Are you a smart seal who thinks they’re safe on the ice? Nope. Orcas will break up the ice and knock you off using waves.

Are you a grown ass moose casually going for a swim without a worry in the world? Forgot about one of your only natural predators. Now you’ve been eaten by an orca.

It’s like Canada has switched from embracing our polite and slightly passive aggressive British side, to embracing our “fuck the consequences and fuck you” not-so-polite French side.

I’m here for it. I think we should start doing all official communication with the US in French. After all, it is one of our official languages, and I’m feeling awfully petty.

I’m not asking everyone to be able to become a hardware specialist, but if you can’t even figure out “my computer gets hot” I’m not going to be able to trust anything you do. Identifying a heat issue does not take a rocket surgeon.

Could be a gen 5 nvme drive without adequate cooling. Them bastards can run hot. Especially the early gen 5 drives.
