I bought several Kasa devices before they started charging for a subscription for the newer cameras and the switches and outlets are functional and reasonably easy to use.

I recently bought a switch and micro relay from Insteon and was very impressed with it. I am using it to run a second remote outlet on another circuit for my upper kitchen cabinet lights. They have the option of being run fully off grid via dual mode eop/wireless back to a master keypad. The hardware itself is also very nice imo.

I’ll allow that with a big asterisk, if you consider Mexican Coke as coke then yes, its one of the best sodas. If not, there are way better options.

They made the same mistake with the Nazis…

It really depends though, if you want to do analog in or out, relay control, or use existing hats, you are bought/forced into the ecosystem. If you are just using it as a small computer, yeah roll with whatever. To me, it’s always occupied the void between an arduino and a sffpc or when I wanted to do compute and analog/digital control on something.

You must not have pets, or children.

The really unsettling one for me was Beyond the Aquila Rift

I saw it on Love, Death, and Robots and it really creeped me out.

The obvious answer was hiding here all along! Excellent option!

Yeah we were the River Dogs last season, sadly missed being the Trash Pandas. I think minor league is off limits for copyright reasons.

I was thinking about being The Peanuts so we could chant GO NUTS!

Are the superchargers lasting longer on the new doo’s? I’ve been out of the loop for a while but I never really cared for the rotax supercharger setup. Kawi made the ultra fugly on the last update though.

Good Eats radicalized me too. Not for plex but for cooking.

I had an 8350 machine with 32gb of ram when if was in season and while it never really left me short of power, the intel 4770k and 4790k were better performers. That may not be the case anymore with stuff being more multi-core optimized but at the time, the intel single core performance was so much better than the 8350s which made a bid difference in gaming.

My old rig was an 8350 overclocked to 4.5 on liquid, crossfired 3gb 7950hd’s, and 32gb of matched corsair dominator ddr3 all in a corsair 230t chassis with the bright orange paint and led fans.

The danger of most things that explode, goes away once they explode.

If Republican voters could read, they’d be very upset.

Did you check the other yolk with a magnifying glass?

Can I sign Texas up for this?

Accidentally

I was told that I gave one of our young engineers a “crisis of conscience” for telling him about how a product we were developing needed some more work and testing because we didn’t have enough data on it to release it for use.

Somehow management decided that I was poisoning the company and was toxic for not releasing a partially tested product that could either get people sick or set things on fire and then get people sick.

I was told to get on board and apologize to the young engineer for being a bad example or leave. I started polishing my resume, then turned in my resignation.

I spoke to the young engineer in a friendly and non-acusatory manner and he denied staying any of that to management, he claimed he understood what I was telling him and he agreed with my statements. We still keep in touch.

Welp, you have me soundly beat. My longest is 85 hrs and 6 minutes.

Weather Underground is just a distributed/crowd sourced weather app now full of individual weather stations. I love it both in function and name.
