Almost every one of the fingerprint sensors in laptops are not supported by Linux due to proprietary protocols. Never managed to get stuff used by Dell or HP with Linux.

But the Grow R503 can be used over uart, what can be connected to usb with some minor additional parts.

Yes, it would be unfortunate for a new user to experience all the horror our distinguished friend EvilSocket is telling everyone today…

Keep up the good work!

Did you uninstall cups and avahi?

Not medically trained or experiencing any illnesses, but keep this in mind:

In just a few years, the medical world made huge steps in treating a lot of things using RNA techniques.

Don’t compare a situation 10 or 20 years ago with the possibilities today.

Dynamic pricing contract. Planning when to charge the car, running dishwasher etc is small effort.

Adding 5KW solar panels and a change of contract, from >€500 to something like €75. Family of 4, pretty heavy usage.

Vic-20, Atari 600 XL, zx-81.

In that order

Asked several to write a c implementation of some basic networking stuff.

ChatGPT: needed to refine my input, got reasonable output. Complete answers, just compile and run.

Google: the output was just a few snippets, nothing to be used as-is.

MSFT: terrible output, and -no suprise here- the compiled code crashed with null pointer references etc. The worst answers ever.

For simple problems (programming low-level microcontrollers), my go to will be ChatGPT everytime.

Google should get it’s act together, Microsoft can exit the stage.

Yes this.

Check out the don’t vacuum me site and pick a ‘hackable’ robot. Add Valetudo and you’re set.

Using a Roborock S6 here, started by home assistant when no one is home.

For the occasional jobs/accidents, we use a Hyundai cordless. Really robust, easy to clean and properly designed.

What do you think, an epub file is?

maybe just search for some content?

That’s my understanding.

And I think a small fee to get out of the googlyclaws. Paying $100 once, to host immich for the family and supporting development is a no brainer to me.

But I understand not everyone has the resources or is willing to donate.

This is just the beginning…

Cars.

• mechanical, no software bugs
• physical buttons, no touch screen
• everything just worked, no need to license the heating of your chair
• freaking lane assist

You get it…

Thanks for this. Finamp looks really nice.

Gravis gamepad :-)

Rock solid!

Gravis Ultrasound with red pcb reporting…

Esp32Cam with esphome running a webserver, add frigate in the mix and you can have dozens of cameras for just a few bucks.

Completely open source (apart from the espressif wifi radio stack, but who’s counting) and low cost.

Yes, quality of the camera will never compete with commercial stuff, but this is way more fun. Add as much cameras as your frigate instance allows…

Gonna recommend this to all my co workers.

It is not vulnerable to Windows viruses.
