Pretty much need to learn to run your own in-stock bot with instant notifications and preload your payment information on the website to stand a chance
I had to back in… 2022? To get a 4090 off the wings of the pandemic 3090/6900xt shortages. It’s unfortunately the world be live in now
Idk if it’s still there but check out rasberry Pi’s project forums for how tos, that’s how I got mine running
HomeAssistant has a calendar built in
Can likely rig it up to notify of events under whatever parameters you want via push notifications
Apparently there was some fallout with futo and him
Not sure at all about the details, but yeah he definitely backed them. Not sure if he still does though
😐

Go look up studies from reputable researchers in universities on air based drying versus physical is all I can recommend if you’re skeptic of the method (not product manufacturers)
People who think of the topic way more than I care to have concluded it’s the appropriate and superior method because they add it into their products when they otherwise don’t have to, and I don’t have the concern to persue it beyond that
I can tell you no more than I have used both methods and aside from patting down to make sure I’m all clean, I utilize all the tools available on my bidet fully, and that it’s a far superior experience than not doing so
I can also state that 5 people who have used my bidet while at my home convinced themselves to get the same one having had experienced it themselves without my having encouraged it in any capacity beyond stating “yeah it’s nice” when it’s commented on…
I mean… who really wants to deeply discuss the topic, especially in person, beyond that
The blower built into the bidet
The better question is what are you checking to make sure it’s all clean with
The real irony is the guy couldn’t get those dogs away from them even with a gun
The article says police sent them running with pepper spray, so a chemical deterrent may have saved his wife’s life there if he had it over or as well as the revolver
There are plenty of bullshit dog mauls person stories here too
Last year one that stood out to me was an elderly couple in St. Louis near a park were sitting outside in their back yard and a pack of dogs escaped and attacked them. They mauled the woman to death in front of the husband while he was shooting them trying to defend her with a revolver
Welcome to America where no less than a 6’ spike topped fence and a high capacity .45 is enough to maybe prevent your loved ones from meeting a brutal ended in front of you while you’re just out enjoying your back yard
I’ll link the story when I find it in my post history for anyone who wants to read it. It’s tragic how shitty our society is.
Clearly, some people beyond that
Wcyd ¯\(ツ)/¯
Yeah, except I didn’t use Ai or a prompt as I’ve now said 3 times which you seem to be unable to comprehend
I used a LLM and TTS to verbally type
Did you manage to read all that Buddy? or we going to keep playing merry go round?
Yes.
You and those like you can kindly learn to read, and websearch what acronomys mean before responding condescendingly while being completely incorrect. That would be quite helpful :)
… You think TTS is Ai slop?
Lmfao
It’s talking to your phone and it translates audio to words and words to audio
To be completely honest, I don’t expect many people will.
Increasingly, people are completely incapable of reading on these platforms… you know, these ones designed to communicate via…reading and writing,…But what can you do?
Whoever you are if you made it this far, if your attention span has managed to remain unharmed in today’s world, read or dont. Your choice, and your responsibility to deal with the fallout of either wasted time or losses in personal capability either way not mine
I didnt write it 🙃
VTT with a bit of editing removing punctuation and breaking up blocks of text
LLMs are useful for some things
I’d like to preface all of the following with something: a vehicle should account for no more than 10% of a household user’s budget, some say up to 15% but most of the literature I’ve seen puts it at or under 10% to maintain fiscal responsibility. That’s monthly ofc, and puts the total budget somewhere around $1,200-1,400 on most of these cars
So how many people do you know who make between $120,000-140,000 per driver?
Some of us do, most of us don’t
I know plenty of people who cannot and or will not for various reasons ever make that much in their lifetimes
Let’s say a 19 year old getting their first car without support. You think they can afford a 60k car? Hell even a 40k? At +6% apr? They still need a car and not all of us have or had parents to help us foot that bill
How about even a used one ran into the dirt at 20-25k to “establish credit”? Think that’s a good idea either for someone like that? Its a terrible one
Further, if literally anything goes wrong with the battery before it’s paid off but out of warranty… Then what? File bankruptcy at 20-25? Take the credit hit and be unable to buy another vehicle or, or get student loans, or be able to get a mortgage because your credit is shot?
No matter if the payback even makes sense we have prime examples that the economy is down right hostile to EV owners with the EV tax road hike increases forcing EV users to pay up to 10x road “gas” tax equivalents of what petrol does in the US regardless if they drive 1,000 miles in a year or 40,000
Plain and simple, all commuter/work vehicles are not worth $40,000-60,000. They are grossly overpriced and have been since at least 2020
The $70,000 GMC EV work truck trim with 450 miles of range? That’s worth $45,000 max. The Tesla model 3 dual motor (which I paid $60,000 for new in 2023 btw) are worth $35,000 max brand new top trim model and has never been worth more than that despite the insane market gauntlet we’ve been run through
The person you are responding to is not even slightly wrong
Vehicles are grossly overpriced.
Front loading potential savings is not an acceptable practice in an economy where people do not have the option to go without a vehicle to function. Prices needs to crater. Companies need to be making any profits they do make off the back of quantity sold, and off government subsidies and cutting out middle men not massive margins per lesser quantities of vehicles at our expense, because as things stand they’re making their margins off of government bailouts anyways and consumers are perpetually the ones getting bent since taxes are our money and these incompetents are increasingly demanding more and more of it
I have had a bad experience with HA + reolink
First one, audio stopped after a winter storm, only static playing constantly
You can set them up with 2 way audio with HA, but it’s an endeavor, not a one click it works thing
I highly recommend you look up ubiquity, get a ubiquity protect router and bite the bullet cost wise because they work flawlessly
Or better, just get home cameras and keep a dumb doorbell
Oor… Hear me out… not everything needs to connect to the fucking internet
For example?
My Ecobee thermostat, absolutely wonderful device for just under two years
They change their TOS because they’re starting to push their “security” camera side of the business. I disagree with the TOS and won’t agree to them. It includes grossly invasive private data sharing including data collected from the microphone on the Ecobee
Oh what? You don’t agree? (There’s no disagree button) Guess you can’t log in and use the device any more
No problem right? Just use the homekit stuff from it and boom you can control it locally right?.. Except I have an entry level heatpump… and heatpump have to have a thermometer to tell it when it can’t use the heatpump due to low temps (mine is 40°for) which Ecobee sources local weather to determine that point and if you don’t have it connected, you could damage a +$15,000 piece of equipment… So connect to the internet and agree to the new tos or buggar off
And that’s a +$450 thermostat when all sensors are included
Can follow this line of bullcrap with cars, lawn equipment, farm equipment, you name it
Just full blown middle finger to internet connected tech from me, as well as any software updating tech is my current position. Fully standalone, zero OTA updates, zero wifi, zero bluetooth. These days no bullshit is a premium feature apparently
I swapped to red reader if I have to go there for a project search
UI is shit, and I use it way less than I used to because of that so win-win
I follow a lot of lawn care YouTubers
More than a few commenting about raising prices and canceling contracts of customers not willing to pay enough to cover it
Its not an insignificant difference either, like +$40 on a weekly cut for a quarter acre lot. That’s between a 35-50% price increase depending on the market of the people I’m watching
The trucks to get there being the big portion of that increase not the mowers, but certainly the mower/trimmer/blower opex increased as well
Regardless though anyone not running primary electric rigs are definitely hurting right now
Those who invested into it early, and especially those who got State and Govt incentives, before the current administration shut them down have a massive opportunity to cash in over at least the next ~2 years while this settles, keeping their prices just below whatever their competitors have to charge until their routes are fully booked while those running gas are forced to raise prices and renegociate contracts to maintain profits
Wait you guys upgrade?
