This recently came up for LLM coding tools:

Isn’t profitable? Insurance companies are definitely making profits because of their tactics of doing that to their customers,

customize your favorite apps

can you elaborate?

No, I wasn’t even thinking about remote bricking when I did it.

All of the car makers are making big money by selling your telematics data, so insurance companies can charge you more:

and then there is this:

Unfortunately, the Leaf doesn’t really know the SIM is removed, so it still asks me every month. But fortunately, now it doesn’t matter what I answer 🙂

I got under the dashboard and removed the SIM from my Leaf. Took a screwdriver and 15 minutes, but Youtube showed me the entire process.

The Nissan Leaf is perhaps what you missed. My 2015 Leaf still has 80% SOC on its pack (75 mile range) so it is quite usable for 98% of my driving. It did have Nissan telemetry, but they’ve phased that out for the old Leafs, plus I simply removed the SIM. Parts available everywhere, third-party independent mechanics know the cars, and there are multiple companies offering battery upgrades, as well.

Not Twilight itself, but 50 Shades of Gray started as a Twilight fan fiction

Had to buy 10yo DOCSIS router that actually is usable

Alternatively, you don’t have to be restricted to a 10-year-old router just because of DOCSIS.

You could change the router to bridge mode , effectively making it just an external modem for any ethernet-to-ethernet router of your choosing.

Allow me to introduce you to Moltbook https://www.moltbook.com/

Agreed.

However, I find their “Ask AI” LLM helper to actually be helpful for this. It’s linked at the bottom of the page on docs.frigate.video, and IMHO is actually one of the few LLMs that answers fairly accurately about items within its scope. It provides good source references to the actual docs that apply to the question.

nobody would see this but me

Hehe I see it too, now.

Anybody else notice how Lexus front grille looks like classic Cylon from Battlestar Galactica?

“Automotive Grade Linux”. https://www.automotivelinux.org/

unless you’re using a password manager capable of tracking those for you.

Doesn’t every password manager have a “notes” field these days?

I haven’t tried it yet, but I see the SMLIGHT SLZB06 get recommended a lot for Zigbee

I don’t use Memories, but yes, uploading photos with FolderSync to Nextcloud (via WebDAV) does add them to the Nextcloud database. They show up as new photos in the recent activities list.

Yeah, English sucks. Worst part here is that both spellings can be used as either noun or verb, though the alternate forms are rare.

Most common forms:

1. Affect - verb - to alter or change. “The rise of LLMs has affected how people use the Internet”
2. Effect - noun - result of change: “The effect of LLMs has been to make people dumber”.

Rare forms:

3. Effect - verb - to implement or make happen: “The new legislation will effect a change in policy to …”
4. Affect - noun - emotional state or expression: “His affect changed and you could see him cringe when the boss endorsed AI”

The first two are what you want pretty much all of the time.

1, 2, and 3 are all pronounced the same, with emphasis on the second syllable: “uh FECT”. Number 4 is pronounced with emphasis on the first syllable: “AFF ect”

So that’s more than anyone wanted to know today :)

This is interesting to me:

Simpler stack: While still based on the LibreOffice core technology, Collabora Office has no Java dependency, which means a cleaner install, smaller footprint and a single, self-contained download.

Might be advantageous on lower-power machines perhaps?

buttons were discovered by the Conbee and worked perfectly fine, but the home assistant refuses to recognize their functionality.

That’s not the hardware stick; that’s the controller software stack. Sounds like you switched from deConz to ZHA to go with the hardware change. In which case, this is all fixed by using Zigbee2MQTT instead of HA’s built-in ZHA. Z2M supports more hardware and features than ZHA.

I know, right? Imagine the very idea that someone older than a millennial is using 3D software. Snort.

Next thing, somebody will be claiming that gen-Xers, or god forbid some boomers, did the 3D work in Toy Story, or Jurassic Park, or the first Tron movie. Ridiculous.
