Really, because I have a Bosch and I had to install the app and then use HACS to install an integration which goes through their cloud.

I don’t use that for anything more than alerts but it’s annoying it has zero local control. This is a perfect use case for Zigbee or Z-Wave and if I’m paying a premium I don’t get why I wouldn’t get premium features.

Also some features are app only (special dry modes etc) so if I want the functionality I paid for I have to be signed up for their cloud.

Newer Bosch lock SOME features behind their app. There are literally no buttons for it, you HAVE to have a smartphone and internet and you HAVE to use their app to use the features.

EDIT: clarified that it’s only some features

McDonald’s also had a ”Third Pounder” and it had the same issue

Ah, so this is satire. I must admit it flew right over my head but it makes sense to me now.

I was just going to say synthesizer but if we’re being specific the TB-303 is the king, especially with some real dirty overdrive

Why she look like the racist mom from Hotel Transylvania 2?

It’s not just your perception - your actual atoms slow down in “time”. This is because any movement they make, from their vibration alll the way up through chemical reactions and physical movements, from your metabolism to your thoughts being transmitted through your neurons, will require acceleration towards light speed from their already high speed.

The faster you move through space, time literally moves slower- you sacrifice one for the other, like a ratio.

I’ll do 4 days a week from 9-2, how about that?

When one of us works from home, we can do both. We’re productive enough from home that the extra time missed while walking them to school or waiting at the bus stop with them is more than made up for, especially when we save commute time and money.

Replace Real Engineering with Practical Engineering for me

In the middle of some throes now

• Trained on stolen ideas: ✅
• replacing humans who have little to no safety net while enriching an owner class: ✅
• disregard for resource allocation, use, and pollution in the pursuit of profit: ✅
• being forced into everything as to become unavoidable and foster dependence: ✅

Hey wow look at that, capitalism is the fucking problem again!

God we are such pathetic gamblemonkeys, we cannot get it together.

That pattern is 100% bots getting the posts from an RSS feed and it’s set to only refresh every x hours.

When it does and it has 15 new stories, it rapidly posts 15 times.

When those clog up my all feed, instant block. So it’s really having the opposite effect that the bot owner intends.

The shitty thing is that half the time they’re not even marked as bot accounts.

The point is that most people won’t participate in a community that’s the same bot, posting headlines over and over, with 1 upvote and 0 comments, day in and day out. I’ve blocked so many of those (especially the ones who’s RSS feed only refreshes like once a day and they vomit like 30 stories at once into some community that shows up in my All feed blocking out everything else for miles of scrolling.)

You need users expressing their interest via posting. It’s community editorializing that makes platforms like this interesting, from Slashdot and Fark all the way to Lemmy today.

It’s not just xAI with the ability to do this to their models.

Now, maybe access is more restricted, or maybe it’s the same and this came from the top; point I’m making is this is not an xAI problem, they’re just dumb enough to make it obvious.

Hell, this is a problem with search engines, or cloud services.

Why the FUCK aren’t you self hosting if you are serious? They’re running the train on you.

You think that if we can scale 6 racks down into one cube that someone wouldn’t just buy 6 racks of cubes?

They’ll always hunger for more.
