    3d printing

    The idea came from a silly conversation I was having with someone, but I designed it myself from the ground up in Fusion :D

    Both of my galaxy's use the screen for fingerprints. No dedicated port

    Tech News and Miscellany

    hmm..I just grabbed my Galaxy s24 ultra, pressed my thumb to the black and locked screen where it generally reads the thumbprint. It unlocked, as I figured it would (since I remember doing this in the past by accident). That said, I also agree with @figmentPez and wonder why anyone even cares...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    yup..lotta/most employers definitely want their employee to feel the fear of being replaceable, but cry a river when the employee goes "so, replace me. I'm outie"

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    I got a uline catalog a few days ago. Now I wish I hadn't immediately chucked it, so that I could verify its authenticity

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Why the fuck is this even in a shipping products catalog? Incidentally, except for a notable 12-year stint at a company that treated me right (until they sold themselves to a buncha assholes) I've job-hopped every couple of years my entire life. And I ain't no kid. But yeah, this reads like...

    [Webcomic] PVP Discussion

    I'm sure lots of us did. It was one of the reasons nearly all of us came together in a forum in the first place. Though I understand some people have trouble reconciling that with hating what Kurtz did with it, or how much of a douche he seemingly became when he saw some success. (Of course, I...

    Home Automation

    yeah, when a print fails, and you aren't aware of it, you go visit the printer and realize you've wasted 12-16 hours and $5-10 of material to make a masterpiece like this An analogy, for those who use 3d printing to make money would be like: Hey I worked for 2 days, and expect to get about...

    I changed 3 capacitors in a monitor from this era, surprising my then-wife that I had..uh..competence or something.

    got the camera from UPS and integrated into HA using a Tapo camera mount found on Printables.

    Home Automation

    As for the cost, it's not been that bad. I spent a boatload on 2 mmWave sensors ($35 each), but the HA subreddit is really good at pointing at cheap AliExpress stuff--I got 10 PIR sensors for like $3.00 each, for instance. Phillips Hue bulbs are like $15+ each, but I got some ThirdReality bulbs...

    Home Automation

    Yeah, it was mostly a fun rabbit hole I fell into when i didn't wanna pay a huge price to get a sensitive VOC sensor for the print room that provided actual numbers (rather than 'trends' which is what most cheap ones provide), and be something i could monitor from another room without having to...

    Home assistant dashboards for my 3d print farm: (scrolling down gets me the 2nd AMS unit on printer #2 and all of the live webcams) There's a "Prusa" tab on this dashboard now that has the XL on it. I haven't tweaked it to be nearly as informative yet, and it's awaiting a webcam (supposed to...

    Home Automation

    Pretty much all of the rooms have some kind of PIR or mmWave device in them now, and I've written automation to trigger lights as I pass through them, as well turn off lights in rooms that are unoccupied. PIR is not nearly as sensitive as mmWave, so I have the more sensitive devices in rooms...

    A.I. is B.S.

    That said, I did just load up one of Meta's LLMs into LM Studio and try to tease out any indication at all that any bits of my books were lurking in its subconscious, and failed to get anything out of it.
