Well JK Rowling made over a billion dollars from book sales alone, so it’s possible to make a billion dollars.

It’s a fun read. Wish it had a slightly stronger plot but I get that the focus was on exploration and hard Sci-fi, I didn’t mind.

Then it’s a question of semantics, and how you define “God”. Would you consider big bang as “God”?

It’s still not impossible, since professional humans can do it too. It’ll never be 100% accurate though and that’s just something we have to accept.

Virtually every event poster, restaurant advert and menu I’ve seen lately has been AI generated

But why do you care? I don’t get it, when was the last time you cared about how a restaurant advert looked? It either has good food or doesn’t, who cares about their marketing? It has always been fake anyway

Would it get triggered for… other clapping-like sounds?

If someone wants to see my hairy ass they better have a 4k view of it

I normally keep the door closed, but this is an elegant solution and I think I can work with this. Just gotta change my habit a bit

Microphone is certainly an interesting choice I hadn’t thought of before at all. It’s something I can test easily, I’ll have to see how well it plays with music too. I’ll give it a shot

Good ideas, let’s see

motion sensor on top of your shower

That’ll detect my shower area motion not when shower in on. When I am cleaning the shower or sitting in a bathtub I don’t want mood lighting or other automations to be triggered.

trying to detect the vibration of the water flow

Vibration sensor can work but it’s a ceiling shower so I’ll have to see if I have enough space. This is the closest to a viable solution given my situation.

a simple switch that you hit before you get into the shower

Yeah that’s a fallback option, but I try to automate my home whenever I can and not perform manual tasks. I know my groggy morning self is forgetting to even hit this simple switch.

Important to note ADB is still unaffected

Why would a computer automatically process QR codes? Detecting a QR code and reading one are totally different.

The one thing Apple has done an amazing job of over the years is providing a solid, clean, common application framework for all of their systems.

iOS doesn’t even have a universal back button, every app has their own way of implementing it.

Yeah I agree! In general, a product should be either software or hardware, and companies shouldn’t have say on the other one. If you’re selling hardware (phone, TV, computer) you have no right to lock the software. If you’re selling software (apps, games), you have no right to lock it to a specific hardware.
