  • That’s fair, there’s other angles of observation made available already.

    Seeing as you like speculating about cyberpunk, how about if observation is just the initial way to way to sell the drone cloud? Depending on how cheap you can make them, there’s an argument to made for reducing time-to-intercept for low-speed aerial objects.

    If you’ve got a bunch of drones overhead already, you could run one in to the path of a kamikaze drone, or if your swarm is even lightly armed, you can extend engagement range and reduce required accuracy with a single buckshot shell to shoot an offending drone down.

    If you’re content to prioritize executive safety over public saftey, there’s a lot that can be done.

    Drone displays terrify me.







  • It’s the right move.

    I tell you, the first time you’re sat in front of a CEO and an auditor and you have to explain why the big list of servers has a highlighted one called C-NT-PRIK-5 is when the fun stops.

    Explaining that it’s short for ‘customer network tester Mr. Prickles 5’, and is actually a cacti server never really seems to help the situation.

    At least a few of the customers got a laugh out of it being on the reports!



  • I turned a $20 Mr Coffee in to an automated, autoshutoff masterpiece with a Shelly plug and home assistant.

    It starts brewing 15m before the lights slowly ramp on in the morning, or if we’re up early because of my kid, when I slap the smart button next to the bed. It also handles my living room curtains.

    Currently working through an automated mold management system (robovac, air filters and quality sensors). I live on a tropical island, so this is super important, especially if you’re not running aircon 24/7 because you don’t want an $900 utility bill.


  • They’ve stuck it under its own app entry. Both K-9 and Thunderbird end at 8.2 for suggested releases.

    I just installed Thunderbird, looks identical, just a rebrand. They’re so identical the import function is seamless mostly seamless.

    Not sure if it’s a quirk of GrapheneOS or just the way things are now, but for gmail accounts, you’ll need to go in to something like Settings > Account > fetching mail > incoming server and then hit next.

    This will dump you back in to the google web login auth page, so you can approve the app for each account.

    Otherwise, the sync and alert settings are copied just fine, so it’s good enough.



  • The time it took you to write this would have been better spent reading the article:

    Because Android isn’t technically “installed” on the Switch, but rather an external microSD card, you can switch between the default system and Lineage at any time.

    Running Lineage is a big deal for those of us who have a switch laying around that no longer have a use for it.

    • It can be an android tv device replacement
    • Buy a $20 goose neck tablet mount, and now it’s a way to play streamed steam games or use the android tv jellyfin client to watch/play stuff without using the main TV
    • Bedside clock/radio with loads of extra features
    • Dedicated HomeAssistant remote

    Or, the basic use case - Play emulated games on a neat handheld package with a decent screen on a plane or something, without needing to carry or buy another device.
