At some point it will be impossible to buy one that isn’t.

I just don’t see the utility. I can be pretty pro “smart” stuff, especially if I can run it without an internet connection, but what’s the point for a fridge?
About ten minutes ago I installed a smart bulb in my fridge. I plan to set up an automation in Home Assistant to tell me when the fridge has been open too long. I also have a temp sensor near the compressor because I had an issue with the fan going out and now if the temp is too high I get an alert to check on it.
I also have a temp sensor in the freezer and the main fridge, again to alert me when things go wrong.

But how else am I going to get on that sweet sweet subscription service for keeping my food cold?

on Pentagon Investigators Say Overreliance on [Palantir] Contributed to US Strike That Killed 123 Iranian Children in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1d ago
Absolutely. Conservatives need an external enemy to take and maintain power. In the west, a large part of their power comes from the military industrial complex which cannot exist without additional conflict.

Yeah we’re already hearing about people being put in phone booth sized cages. I wonder if the administration will continue to block access after the mid terms.

I think the administration is lying, as usual. They have brains like teenagers and thought, “killing off their families will show them who’s boss and they will cower in fear at our mighty might! And then the people will rise up and revolt against their wounded leaders”. But in fact what actually happened is they gave the extreme right wing in Iran even more control by doing this. The extremists got to say, “I told you they want to destroy our civilization and take our resources” and the people unified and sided with leadership against the foreign invader.

on Devastated father says his 9-year-old son spent $118,000 on YouTube ad campaigns for his Minecraft channel using a company credit card — bill racked up in just three weeks was supposed to be one $20 in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
I’m glad you added that caveat. I realized recently that my favorite content creators are people who will never do ad reads and take no corporate money. And yes, they also make content critiquing capitalism.

I’d like to kick most of the world out of my bubble anyway. Most people just annoy and depress me.

I’ve been building my own PCs since the late 80’s. This is the first time I’ve had hardware appreciate in value.

Too bad it’s nonsensical. Maybe a few more seconds would have resulted in more clarity. ;)

Someone should tell Trump it needs to be painted gold. That will give him something relatively safe to obsess over for a while.

It’s the Golden Gate bridge because it’s the gateway to the Golden State(California).

on The fact that you can’t run through Windows setup w/o internet and an online account is absolute bullshit in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 27 Aug 2026
:) Yeah I realized that after I hit send. I have been using clonezilla for years. It’s my favorite way to do full backups.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll have to dig into this. I have no qualms about pulling my HD from the laptop and cloning it, so I should be able to try a bunch of different methods until it works.
For the stuff I need to do on my laptop, RDP is all I need so it can sit on a server in the basement waiting for me to start it up when I need it.

Back in the early 2000’s I started playing with Linux on old machines and have used Linux on an off since. Now I only have one Windows laptop that I need for a few very specific things and it’s Linux for any backend stuff. I’ve got pi’s, nucs and a NAS, all Linux now.
I am so grateful for all the hard work people have put in over the last two decades making sure we can step away from Windows without having to go to the Apple or Chrome walled gardens. I’ve made a career working in the Microsoft stack and I’m so done with them.
Now if I could just figure out how to turn my windows laptop into a VM on my ProxMox machine.

Flock cameras can be wrong and cops see everyone but themselves and rich people as criminals.

As a Packer fan having my two favorite QBs turn out to be complete shitheads(Rogers and Favre) I’m bracing myself for Jordan Love to turn out to be a piece of shit too.
Fun fact, studies have shown that wealth makes you lose your empathy for others.

on [AIT] Birdnet-go: Self-hosted realtime soundscape analyser for birds, bats and other wildlife in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
I’ve been running birdnetpi on a raspberry pi 3 for years. It runs very well on this modest hardware. I also run birdnet-go in a docker container and use my reolink security cameras for the RSTP audio feed to that instance.
There are all sorts of AI/ML models available that can run on smaller hardware. But they are usually very specific and not general purpose, like the LLMs.
I’m on solar and batteries. I haven’t had an electricity bill in years.
