I don’t think invasive data collection via black boxes is the way to go. I’d say better driver education, speed traps, and better education for civil servants (such as traffic cops) might be a better solution.

What really bothers me is that he just had to light what I assume is a joint on the poster. Does this guy have any other personality trait, or is it just being involved with weed?

Additional data about your driving behavior is also collected, completely unrelated to cameras. In fact, this data is the majority.

Jesus Christ.

I mean, at that point, don’t discuss it in text, but use a scheduling tool that forces people into a framework. If they refuse, they’re just being a dick, but at that point, at least it’s obvious they’re fucking around.

There certainly would be a market for a network camera ecosystem provided by a company that people can trust. I don’t think it has to be all or nothing, plenty of people really are in no position to self-host.

I’m not sure if there is anything out there that regular consumers currently could migrate to in case they want to get away from questionable companies. There are completely local systems (local recorder, no remote access), but those are lacking the home automation features / notifications, and well-respected brands that have been around (let’s say, Axis?) that are still closed source, not cross-platform and with pricing often not aimed at end customers.

I didn’t check out this project, so I’m certainly not saying this is it and there habe been various criticism of this particular project here, but I’d love if a decent project would emerge in the space.

Would you consider using a managed cloud solution + app if it’s open-source and properly end-to-end encrypted? How would a hypothetical company have to behave to be trustworthy, while still being allowed to profit? People here seem to like e. g. tuta.io for encrypted mail, I don’t see why a similar model could not work for network cameras.

These are genuine questions btw., I myself am really annoyed at the status quo with its data breaches, blatant lies to customers about encryption, and corporations willfully cooperating with fascist governments by proactively providing video data. I’m not even going to talk about AI training.

Simply search for food coloring pens. Patisserie shops sell them, and so does Amazon, but I wouldn’t draw on a kid’s banana with a random pen ordered off of Amazon, unless it’s a reputable brand.

I’d probably set up some firewall rules / a VLAN to isolate the cameras. I generally don’t trust any company to do the reasonable thing, and apparently, these days, we live in a world where many companies are outright malicious.

You can trust them about this much:

That’s fine for simple work, but soldering can absolutely benefit from a temperature controller. That’s either a simple analog controller, or a microcontroller that has a display, menu, and consecutively, firmware. There is nothing complicated or “eccentric” about that in case of a soldering iron.

I’d even argue it’s the same with the device in the original post. I get it’s a joke, but let’s face it, that’s not simply a kitchen knife.

Now if anyone can tell me why the fume hood in my kitchen is wifi - enabled… I never hooked that up, obviously, and all I can think of would be push notifications in case of an upcoming filter change, you know, the thing that could be implemented with a simple LED for 4ct.

All while constantly scratching your butt due to the worms. Ah, Rome.

No, they’re right. Pizzacake does have a very explicit OnlyFans.

I actually think Reddot does not, even though their comic strips feature more sexual topics overall.

I’d never have expected Jenny to let herself go like that.

Do you use a client for Lemmy that defaults to loading low resolution images? Some have a button that you have to click to load the high-res image (or you can set this as default in the settings).

I’m not saying the resolution is great, but it’s perfectly legible.

Have you looked at some of their new, esoteric models? You might get along with those better.

Honestly, I stopped caring. They’re so goddamn comfortable, I can wear them outside in the dirt and simply wash them, I love the things.

Wait, there is an audio book version of this?

I’m really glad that it works, and please don’t take this the wrong way… but the solder joints look awful.

The only reason I’m saying this is because I suspect that after repeated use, they might fail and you will have to redo them. Maybe redo them now?

May I ask what your soldering technique is? Did you by any chance try to apply the solder to the iron and then struggle to apply that to the pins? This is a common misconception among beginners, hence me asking - you’re supposed to heat the pins with the iron and then apply solder to the heated pins, where it will flow into place. Also, applying flux beforehand will help with that.

If we’re talking about profanity, I think I’d go for either

Das geht mir am Arsch vorbei.

This has existed long before the AI hype. Dialog systems were around in the 80s, operating off of tapes. The concept itself is even older.

I ran an Asterisk server with speech recognition 20 years ago. Sure, TTS didn’t nearly have the recognition rates it has today, but it was enough to figure out the caller’s intent from the email message that was delivered after the fact.

I still run a very similar setup today, except I no longer self host and pretty much ever component has improved. Honestly, its a godsend to be able to deal with people or businesses that still rely on phone conversations, something I will never tolerate. I simply don’t do phone calls.

The latest Raspberry Pi cameras have decent sensors, variants with night vision are available. Axis makes reliable, network attached cameras.

Open-source software like Frigate or ZoneMinder exists.
