They’re trying to say that the guess of the “prediction market” will give early warning to evacuate.

It’s been one of their “We’re not gambling” defenses but applying it to wildfires really highlights how bonkers it is.

GPS is a passive receiver.

There’s processing going on, but you dramatically decrease energy use by just updating less often.

It’s not like you’re sending a signal to space.

The Honeywell ones are nice and simple and have instructions for whichever number of wires you already have. With stickers for easy labeling as your removing the old one. They have a few models for whichever network you prefer.

The different wires can be intimidating, but they’re all standard colors. And your dumb thermostat is already wired with everything you need. The smart one mostly just adds a radio.

The wires are basically: power to the thermostat, ground, and a number of different signal wires for “AC on”, “furnace on”, etc that when the respective wire gets 5v(?) that device turns on.

Thermostats are very simple devices that just regulate when the high voltage devices should turn on. Things do get a bit more complicated if you have a bigger house with multiple HVAC zones and stuff but most people don’t have those. And even if you do, that’s mostly just more wires to connect that will already be there.

I agree they’re overblowing it for comedy, but holy hell do I hate ‘magic links’.

Have them as an option sure. But for everyone with a password manager they’re multiple extra steps that make the sign in process clunkier.

If you have 2FA they’re actively useless security theater.

Even without the FOMO, some people just want a working device.

It’s why leasing cars is attractive to some. They don’t care about the specs, they want one that works “well” and looks nice and are willing to give up nebulous "ownership"of a device that they don’t know or care how it works, that they can’t repair, so they can stop thinking about their choice and just always have a one available.

The number of people that click through to disable that prompt might surprise you.

Hell at least half of AI influences are trying to just run models blind with full file permissions.

If a modern high speed SD card is good enough for 60fps 4k done footage, or whatever they’re shooting now, it’s probably fast enough for whatever you’re doing on your phone.

It may not be much but it is something.

They already run on crude instead of more refined fuel for very small percentage point gains in fuel cost.

5t less fuel over 2 weeks isn’t nothing, and this is the first one. With visibly a shit-ton more room for more panels.

They’re joking, but most of the US are “Right to Work” states. Meaning, on paper, you have the ‘right’ to quit your job without reprisal, but in practice the company can fire you without compensation. They owe for anything you’ve already done, but that’s about it.

I was thinking their package was pretty generous but you’re right it’s very basic for other places.

Caring what one the richest people in the world wants/says is only partially celebrity culture.

He is directly responsible for significant portions of our country’s space program and has personally altered our government’s structure and spending, resulting in at least thousands of deaths, so far.

Pretending his thinking is as inconsequential and ignorable as any other moronic Nazi on Twitter is about as dumb as worshipping him.

Actual question. Can you revert git to a prior state without the remote repo?

They don’t have the literacy / abstract thinking necessary to understand themes and like the ‘vibes’ of nerdy things being cool now.

We are only ‘pretty sure’ of the mechanism of how Tylenol works biochemically as of 2025.

You can test for effectiveness and dangers and everything else you need to prescribe something to get a good idea of whether its actually doing something or not.

‘Alternative medicine’ is largely, “I felt better after a bit”.

I would be surprised if a cartridge being discontinued would kill an open source project like this. They could switch to a different cartridge.

I’d assume they’re doing the one for now because it’s cheap-ish and has widespread availability. There’s little reason not to expand to other cartridges once the rest of the printer is more stable.

That’s the thing. Steam caught on in part because compared to physical retail “only” 30% was a massive improvement for the average game company. I’ve heard 60-70+% going to buying/printing floppies/CDs, packaging, distribution, etc. at the high end. I’m sure the big companies got bulk discounts or multi-year deals for supplies.

Yes that meant that since those aspects were a significant amount of the cost anyway you could do stuff like the StarCraft Battlechest that was crammed with extras. But it also did a lot of gatekeeping in it’s own right.

Now you could probably do some kind of limited run thing that would be a lot more viable, but it’s definitely a luxury step up.

I mean it’s not out yet. The raffle for who can buy one hasn’t started. This is just like scammers selling a PS6.

Slate Auto next year. Don’t get the telematics module.

It’s all in the UI basically. They have an app store of sorts where it’s managing the separate containers for you. If you already ate comfortable spinning up containers you don’t really gain much.

Oh no… I thought I was exaggerating. 😅
