Thanks for answering, I didn’t see this.

The homeassist app let’s you do that.

I have a box with 10 old laptops that I keep around, just for that. Unreal tournament 2004, Insane, Brood Wars and all the Id classics. I don’t get to set it up a lot, but when I do it’s always a hit.

That joke takes me back. Had to double check if I was on slashdot.

Strong lifts. The built in timer is great. Just don’t look at anything else on your phone. I put on Audible and just lift.

Could you add a fan at the exhaust end to create an ever present, gentle, negative pressure to encourage the air to flow that way?

Acinfiniti makes duct fans that have a temperature sensor and when it detects the change in temperature it turns the fan on. I took one apart and used the sensor, pcb and fan in a different project without problems.

First search result I got was https://github.com/pureqml/qmlcore Never used it, but seems good.

I have one of these with normal sprinkler system valves. opensprinkler.com/. Works great with home assistant.

I have a few airthings pluses. They’re pricey, but work with ha and flawlessly. And they measure just about everything you can.

Same. It was a good read though. Getting old sucks for everyone, but I can’t help but feel like we grew up in a particularly magical time where you can remember dial phones all the way through smart phones. It kind of set the wow factor baseline a little high. I don’t know if other people in history have had a similar experience, but I kinda doubt it.

I’ve been using an open garage device I ordered from https://opengarage.io/ for years. It works great with home assistant or by itself. (their opensprinkler control is great too)

Like VRML from the 90s? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRML?wprov=sfla1

It's kind of like hiring a bunch of physicists to design a bridge. It'll probably be a great bridge, but also probably overly complex, expensive and late. And for some reason made out of a novel alloy.

I rather enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing

That show had so much promise. I wish it would have survived.

No, it was genuinely bad. Yes bugs, but it was also the classic example of corporate overlords forcing “creativity” and hoping that the licensed property would make it a success regardless of the quality.

I’ll go with a classic, “E.T. the extraterrestrial” on the Atari… It was bad. It’s badness is legendary for a reason.

What happened to estimating the pessimistic, most likely and optimistic times and apply that to a beta distribution? That’s how I was taught back in the dark ages.
