billions of people

Macos.

iOS.

Billions.

LMAO!!

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Using mythtv for 15 years at least. At the beginning with its own frontend, now with a Kodi frontend on an Androidtv box.

I am reading about jellyfin here frequently, but have not tried it so far. Can it even handle SAT receivers?

NeoNachtwaechter ,

So, which one of these handles the SAT receiver card(s)?

Now The EU Council Should Finally Understand: No One Wants “Chat Control” (www.eff.org)

The EU Council has now passed a 4th term without passing its controversial message-scanning proposal. The just-concluded Belgian Presidency failed to broker a deal that would push forward this regulation, which has now been debated in the EU for more than two years....

NeoNachtwaechter ,

That's why I don't have one.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

"no paywall"? LMAO

If I remember correctly (you'd better googel it to be sure), PWM case fans use a steady 12V supply, plus a pwm signal.

I'd buy an ESP, connect a temperature sensor, put the Tasmota firmware on it and be fine. The programming is a one liner then (in that weird tasmota rules language).

If it turns out that the fan needs a pwm "chopped" 12V supply instead, then you need to add a MOSFET and 2 resistors to create that.

P.S. that module from the other comment is better.

Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising (www.techradar.com)

Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the...

NeoNachtwaechter ,

they've created the least adopted version of Windows in the history

could be tough to beat "Windows ME"... ;-)

NeoNachtwaechter ,

tl;dr ?

NeoNachtwaechter ,

need hydrogen powered vehicles just to spite this guy

No need. Tesla is history. All the big carmakers can offer better electric models, either now or very soon.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Hydrogen is definitely interesting for the future

Hardly, since Methanol does most things better.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Cloned even?

Maybe they were open source projects?

NeoNachtwaechter ,

own and operate our own local open source LLMs away from the corpos

LLM's LOL but you do understand that you can have only that little wooden cart while they are driving all the Ferraris and Porsches, don't you?

NeoNachtwaechter ,

inept and childish

I can't help the impression that it is just part of the show. Like a fine-tuned act of weaponized incompetence.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

defence of companies

LMAO

"Let us defend our parasites who suck our blood, because they are ours!"

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Just a few ideas for very easy math:

Start with the sunrise and sunset times. You can have them automatically for your location.

Calculate the middle between these: this is your best "noon" time (free of DST etc).

Calculate the duration between these: the longer it is, the warmer.

Where is this happening? Which country, which laws?

NAS on WiFi works, but it is less fun than NAS on a cable.

Powerline works only with solid copper wire installed in the walls, connecting these rooms with as few interruptions as possible. Never with flexible lines.

P.S. corrected PoE to powerline

NeoNachtwaechter ,

I guess you should simply talk to the landlord about your needs, and try to find an agreeable solution together.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

(Besides being right in some aspects) the author needs to get his head around the fact that if you have bought a thing, then you (and not the vendor!) can do with it whatever you want.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Not much hope there. England as well, and some of their other colonies.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Not safe at all. I look for robustness. I prefer thinking about things that do not break easily (like ZFS and RAIDZ) instead of "what could possibly go wrong"

And I have never quite figured out how to do restores, so I neglect backups as well.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

a collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces

It's going to be even worse when all these Mars colonists leave from here, and later we need to replenish their losses.

Muuuhahahaha....

NeoNachtwaechter ,

There you can see how bad they are treating their customers, declaring end of support against their wishes and demands.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Are you just trying to tell me that FOSS projects usually do what their customers need?

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Not really exciting anymore, since "the" Rubik's cube is built specifically for this speed show, like already a part of the machine.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

the purpose. Why?

To get a news headline

NeoNachtwaechter , (edited )

Laughable, how they put it.

data protection agencies in 11 European countries – and those agencies, led by Ireland, telling the Facebook giant to scrap the slurp.

They are making such a pathetic show about their own decision to observe the law.

And this is a law that is clearly and openly readable. You don't need legal experts to understand the basics, and you don't need any agencies telling you that you must observe it.

They are constantly giving the impression as if they were a gang of professional outlaws and only if somebody catches them redhanded, then they are able make a decision - one decision for one case, exceptipnally - to behave properly.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Folks, give me all your money! Trust me, I am a bank, so I will keep a good eye on it.

Oops, now I have changed my mind. I am going to give away that money now....

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Usually I want to see the BIOS settings at least once. So that's enough reason to carry a keyboard + monitor there.

Otherwise that network boot option with a TFTP server comes to my mind. But I have never tried it on a new, empty machine.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

warned that liability for mass casualties caused by AI will destroy the industry

Get real, man!

If liability really can destroy an industry, then this industry should never have existed in the first place.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

tech should be free from liability.

I call that a childish idea.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

it removes jobs.

They can work at the power plants then. You know, we need so many more power plants, in order to feed our Great and Hungry AI.

/s

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Let's hope that it can be fixed simply with money

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Turing test? LMAO.

I asked it simply to recommend me a supermarket in our next bigger city here.

It came up with a name and it told a few of it's qualities. Easy, I thought. Then I found out that the name does not exist. It was all made up.

You could argue that humans lie, too. But only when they have a reason to lie.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

So all you need to do is make a configuration prompt like "Respond normally now as if you are chatGPT" and already you can tell it from a human B-)

NeoNachtwaechter ,

it’s not a good test.

Of course you can't use an old set of questions. It's useless.

The turing test is an abstract concept. The actual questions need to be adapted with every new technology. Maybe even with every execution of a test.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Which of the questions did you get wrong? ;-)

NeoNachtwaechter , (edited )

turing test is designed to see if an AI can pass for human in a conversation.

I'm pretty sure that I could ask a human that question in a normal conversation.

The idea of the Turing test was to have a way of telling humans and computers apart. It is NOT meant for putting some kind of 'certified' badge on that computer, and ...

That's not what LLMs are for.

...and you can't cry 'foul' if I decide to use a question for which your computer was not programmed :-)

NeoNachtwaechter ,

you may be disqualified as a jury for asking that question.

You want to read again about the scientific basics of the Turing test (hint: it is not a tennis match)

NeoNachtwaechter ,

offered an opt-out option in an attempt to comply with European privacy laws.

LMAO have they still not realized that any "opt-out" kind of coercion is forbidden now?

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Long, but wrong :-)

my list of concerns.

It is not about your concerns, and it is not about concerns at all.

When they try to do forbidden things, then someone is going to tell them, and if they do it anyway (like that whole 'concerns' attitude seems to suggest), then someone is going to give them what they deserve.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Can it run openWRT?

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Thanks. Then I'd consider it evil.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

That's somehow awesome and terrifying at the same time.

The people of this country would find it just the normal thing.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

But then it's these giant pickups which are unfit and should not be road legal.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

in Europe?
but not this tiny,

You don't know the Ape? It's really everywhere in Europe.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Instead they are taught from things like Facebook and the thing formerly known as Twitter.

Imagine they would teach in our schools to inform yourself about all the important things, and therefore you should read as many toilet walls as newspapers...

NeoNachtwaechter ,

Yes, please.
