Using recycled parts is the best advice. As you said, it’s almost certainly overkill and the price can’t be beat.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto homeassistant@lemmy.world•IKEA moves to Thread (and away from Zigbee)English1·13 days agoThanks for the explainer, that last point is really great actually and I’m surprised that Amazon/Google etc are pushing for Matter if the data isn’t sent to the internet.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New HolocaustEnglish4·13 days agoI love the notion that even Twitter users had too much empathy and the platform wasn’t getting Nazified fast enough on it’s own so they had to program a robot to go around and spread propaganda.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What are some recommended RSS feeds for privacy news?English2·13 days agoNot sure if you are looking for blogs but I this guy is a good writer: https://rys.io/en/index.html
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto homeassistant@lemmy.world•IKEA moves to Thread (and away from Zigbee)English5·13 days agoI am just getting started on this journey but zigbee seems great and I like that it works fine even if the wifi goes down. I’m not sure what the drawbacks are or the benefits of Matter.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Take a deep breath and think about itEnglish42·13 days agoSure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Take a deep breath and think about itEnglish52·13 days ago“Shitposting” describes the act, not the content. Posting content “that took little to no effort” to produce is just spam. It doesn’t matter if a human made it or not.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon studyEnglish1·15 days agoOh yeah absolutely, but I also think the goal of the AI companies is not to actually create a functioning AI that could “do a job 20% as good as a human, but 90% cheaper”, but to sell fancy software, whether it works or not, and leave the smaller companies holding the bag after they lay off their workforce.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon studyEnglish5·15 days agoRight? It actually makes me feel insane that the topic of “humans working less” is never in the selling points of these products.
Honestly I suspect that rather than some nefarious capitalist plot to enslave humanity, it is just more evidence that the software can’t actually do what the people selling it to big corporations claim it can do.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon studyEnglish91·15 days agoThis bit at the end, wow:
Gartner still expects that by 2028 about 15 percent of daily work decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents, up from 0 percent last year.
Agentic AI is wrong 70% of the time, but even assuming a human employee is barely correct most of the time and wrong 49% of the time, is it really still more efficient to replace them?
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitlesEnglish20·20 days agoFor YouTube tutorial videos I have no issue with relying on GPT, but I think it’s important to recognize that the translation of art is art. I don’t feel good about the idea of something without a soul or perspective interpolating a work of art from one culture and language into another that might be wildly different from where it started.
That all said, I think Crunchyroll and anyone else using AI art without disclosing it absolutely should be honest about it.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish21·21 days agoIt’s annoying to be treated that way isn’t it?
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish45·21 days agoPlease don’t sealion me.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish18·22 days agoThat’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish673·20 days agoAnyone else here actively put off by Linux drama and headlines like “Torvalds Drops support After Clash!”
EDIT: New rule?
