Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns
Reply in thread
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.

It's not universal. It has become more common, but there is no OS-level enforcement

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

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

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

Australian leader warns people: "The months ahead may not be easy. Please consider using public transport"
I'm such an idiot, I thought being halfway across the world from this orange pedo would keep me shielded from his shenanigans. I was so wrong, this one man has messed up the entire world. Why is allowed to live still? I abhor violence but I also understand when an exception (or two) have to be made

I already have a presence sensor (Tuya) in my bathroom. Maybe I can use that + humidity sensor, everyone is saying it's faster than you expect so I'll give it a shot.

I ... Didn't think of that. I don't have a lever shower but placing a simple button inside the niche for toiletries is such a simple solution. I'll look for some IP67 buttons.

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.

Close! [email protected] gave an even better solution: how about one button inside the shower that I can just press? I don't know how I missed that

AI investment should go towards live audio translation. Letting anyone in the world speak to anyone else, with no lag, in their own language, with just some earbuds would be revolutionary for humanity

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.

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

Samsung's latest update is a serious gut punch to Galaxy power users
Reply in thread
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.

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.

How many of you have an HA solution, which is open to the internet?

That kind of blows, I'm blessed with an ISP who doesn't discriminate against power users and I get it gor relatively cheap (~$15 per month)

So this isn't adjusted for PPP. Obviously countries like Norway where wages are high and the currency is stronger than the dollar will have a higher cost
