I like this idea. A small cage in an apartment complex would be a huge selling point.

Or even a La La Land on the corner, urban DC in the back. Winning across the board.

I think we've had the same iced tea pitcher since I was 5 years old, for example. Solid.

Will we be able to say the same thing about Claude?

No wonder car companies are starting to dislike CarPlay. It's less data they can collect from their own customers.

I'm amazed it's still around. Metafilter too, although it seems to have a LOT fewer comments nowadays.

Thanks for posting this one. good find.

Staying up and re-learning what I used to love long ago has given me a new found passion as well. Even if I do vibe code some scripts, at least I have the background now to go through them and make sure they make sense. They're things I'm using in my own homelab and not something that I'm trying to spin up a Github repo for. I'm not shipping anything. I'm refreshing my old skills and trying to bring some of them up to date. An unfortunate reality is that my healthcare career is going to be limited due to multiple injuries along the way, and I need to try to be as current as I can in case something happens. My safety net is limited.

What we lack in EMS is the same qualified immunity that law enforcement continues to have.

I think they've learned from the anti-gun lobbyists and are now pushing to end anonymity on the internet the same way.

26.1 fixed a lot of the buggy/laggy feeling too.

A bigger problem in my opinion is just how heavily people have associated "Google" with "the internet" and "Gmail" with all email in existence. They don't even think about outlook.com or even hotmail anymore. All email is Gmail to many people.

One of the big reasons that I did it is so I'd know when consumables needed to be replaced. The big hope was it would give me a warning when the fridge water filter was full and make buying the exact part easier.

It has failed to do this one thing. But I can get recipes from within the app. I still have no idea what water filter I need and have to try to find the model number.

If you're going to build a cloud setup for appliances, at least make it useful for the end user, eh?

edit: we actually considered a GE washer/dryer for the smart features until I sat down and realized that I was trying to over complicate laundry. We went with a Speed Queen model instead. My dryer now has two knobs and a button to start it.

It's been a lot of fun. We know our neighbors, people are frequently out walking, talking to each other, and so on.

I've been trying the google one, for example, and it doesn't even work. "request timed out." Fishy, because yours works great.

much appreciated!
