Copied from the original post:

I’m a big fan of automating as much as I can.

• Lights automatically turn on when someone enters the room, but only if it’s dark enough to need lights in that room at that moment. Turn them off automatically when presence is no longer detected (not just IR based motion detection).
• My old washer and dryer alert me when they’re done thanks to vibration sensors.
• Media downloads when added to a watchlist.
• Regular backups locally and to the cloud.
• My phone enables/disables rotation lock based on the app I’m currently using.
• Phone also opens various playlists when connecting to my car stereo based on date/time.
• Various “scenes” to turn devices on and off, control brightness, volume levels, etc. This includes controlling devices that are IR, RF, Bluetooth, and Zigbee based.
• Game servers that update when new versions are released, but only when no players are connected. If anyone is connected, sends a message to a discord server (that is also connected to Matrix) alerting everyone to the available update and asking players to log off at their earliest convenience. Players can also check on game server status with bot commands in the game’s channel on that server.

Everything runs locally and has a manual backup so I can still control everything the old fashioned way if my phone is dead or if my non tech savvy parents are over and need to operate any of it.

Thank you very much for the detailed response! Very informative and interesting.

I’ve seen many of his videos and haven’t noticed any obvious errors. Could you please link to the specific video(s) that you are referencing in regards to errors he has made, especially those related to the distributive law and what you reference to as “1917,” as well as any explanation as to what is incorrect/misleading/lying?

Haha no worries, enjoy your coffee!

16 is absolutely not turn based, I’m not sure where you got that idea.

I would absolutely believe that this was coincidence or unintentional “borrowing” or “inspiration” if the name of the location wasn’t literally “Azura Deluxe Hotels.” At that point it’s pretty blatent.

Edit response to parent edit: I can’t find any iconography that represents the religious Azura (or Ishtar) with both the Sun and Moon, especially as depicted in this statue, outside of the Elder Scrolls universe. Happy to be proven wrong, but I think it’s clear which party was influenced by the other.

I’m pretty sure any distro using GNU software would be disqualified, so maybe Alpine?

Reading through this thread I’m starting to feel like I’ve probably been overly paranoid.

I have:

• Multiple mobile devices on two different carriers, including computers, phones, and tablets with 5/4G and some with satellite service.
• A high speed wired primary network (2+Gb/300+Mb DOCSIS).
• A robust wireless network (Wi-Fi 7) with multiple access points secured with WPA3 and 802.1X.
• A 24U Server infrastructure for games, networking, media, and Linux ISOs.
• Battle tested 3-2-1+ backup solution, including on site backup with redundancy, as well as two off site backups with redundancy.
• Dual UPS units connected to independent 20A circuits.
• Dual Gasoline and Propane powered backup generators connected to the UPS units to kick in automatically.
• Edit: I forgot to mention that my internal network is running at 10Gb.

Some of that infrastructure was necessary for my line of work during the worst of the covid pandemic, but now it’s more “nice to have in case of apocalypse” equipment.

Pfft, those are still maintained (Haiku and ArcaOS respectively) and so corporate man.

TempleOS all the way baby. Nothing is more powerful the the almighty HolyC.

Holy shit I lost it after Material UwU. The system requirements and FAQ (including a famous Torvalds quote) were excellent highlights as well.

One I haven’t seen mentioned, and likely isn’t very famous anymore is (212) 736-5000.

Along their back or between my legs. Something like this:

"Hey, this is Presh Talwalkar.

Discussion of a brief history of this viral math problem, followed by explanations of common incorrect answers. Ultimately followed by brief discussion on the order of operations, concluding in a final example that equals 11

And that’s the answer. Thank you so much for making us one of the best communities on YouTube, where we solve the world’s problems, one video at a time."

For those, like me, who wondered how much data was written in 400 picoseconds, the answer is a single bit.

If I’m doing the math correctly, that’s write speeds in the 10s-100s GBps range.

The article highlights on device AI processing. Could be game changing in a lot of ways.

I use LinuSystemWaylanKDEdDx btw

It was so disappointing, it would have been so easy to make it work with couch co-op and online multiplayer with just a little bit more effort. I was so excited when it was first announced, and then I don’t think I played it beyond the first day it released after trying online play with my brother.

The original was a masterpiece of couch co-op, but it’s increasingly difficult and expensive to play it on original hardware anymore. Fortunately you can get away with connecting multiple instances of m-gba and dolphin to recreate the experience on emulator for couch co-op at least.

LOL absolute legend.

What about adding “in nog we trust” or something along those lines. Depending on your artistic confidence, maybe also a portrait, but with a chicken head instead of a dead president lol

Go to a grocery store and go “psst, want to buy some quality merchandise?” to random people passing by. Then reveal the inside of your jacket lined with eggs.
