Yeah I’m using it on a low power Intel NUC, the cheap quad core one, with a USB coral. It’s insane how efficient that is


And the fruit and wine industry, and cleaning / housekeeping, and kitchens and all those other industries that only survive in the US on cheap labor


Frigate is good too


Dhs Just take the data from the cloud providers


So a victim of human trafficking
I’m glad my cities stadium is built on top of a train station. And that they close lanes of the surrounding roads for pedestrians to walk on when there’s a big match
I had some micropython boards using mqtt to talk to HA, great for sensors, but have switched most to Esphome, it integrates easier into HA.
I’ve got a wall switch on the coffee grinder that switches off after a min, because otherwise it’s power supply humms.
I’ve got a epaper display on the fridge, battery powered that tells me what type of recycling goes out this week (uses deep sleep mode on esp to wake up every 18hrs, pull info from HA calendar to display, report it’s battery state, so we can get a mobile alert to charge it every couple of months)
A esp8266 board that’s got 6 relays, hooked up to dampers on the central air conditioning, turns on or off airflow to different rooms.
Power monitoring for the washing machine to send a voice message when the washing machine is done, using Athom Tech plugs that come with Esphome pre installed
Another athom tech plug on our electric blankets, nothing like having them automatically come on and never having to worry about leaving them on (will turn off after 3hrs after they automatically or are manually turned on)
Several accent lights using Esphome powered rgb light strips, could also use wled, but Esphome is good for this too


I’m still rocking the last good plasma panel, the Panasonic VT50 from 2009, it was good enough for 3d review of the first avatar film in meeting rooms and I’m just waiting for it to die so I can upgrade.


Even your 4k Netflix is mastered in 2k and uprezed. Often shot in 6k to allow for zooming in in the edit


What are you using? The athom tech one has been great for about 2 years so far here in NZ with 240v power. And I have a very powerful Asko washer. They have a relay and non relay version, I’m on the relay one.


I’ve done the same with an automation, triggers when wattage goes over a certain value, then waits until the wattage is below 6 for 4min before sending a message. I’ve also got it choosing from a list of messages at random 


Spacex had a team of people who would cosplay as engineers and be enough of a distraction that it would distract him from meddling with anything really important. He’s mostly whittled away the leadership that protected the company from him these days


So we really need to make gpus out of materials that can glow white hot, slap them over the outside of enormous space data centres, then point them as earth and sell the blinding light as space billboards /s


He’s speaking about a previous Prime Minister of NZ. Who’s actually secular, but has some Jewish heritage through a grandmother, but was raised Anglican, but really non religious.


I have a Bluetooth beacon in my letterbox to help detect I’m coming home. It’s a bit of distance and WiFi doesn’t reach that far, so I can tell if I’m coming home or leaving based on sequence. The mobile app will report on beacons to HA


Got a job application this with a one line cover letter “Iam interested to work with u are company” it was kinda refreshing to see that instead of a whole page of slop, like most of them are these days.


That’s one of the signs of LLM output, take any idea and have it flesh it out into short article. It’ll bullet point the crap out of it
Sharemarket too, I’d have to sell my US shares without my brokerage bank acct (I don’t live in the US)
