Apple lost its magic long time ago.
Re:Testing 12 different Zigbee temperature/humidity sensors on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @07:59AM (#49977189)
I recently tested a bunch including a lab-grade transmitter setup as control. My focus was on temperature in a lab refrigerator for home use and RuuviTag Pro was the best. You can also modify the firmware yourself which is a huge bonus. Pair with Shelly as a gateway and it’s quite useful.

So you’re OK with Grok but not Muse. What an odd conclusion to make.

I am so glad AI was not around to get in the hands of fascist and authoritarian regimes. No, wait…
RoW is not opaque. It’s widely used especially in academia. Acronyms exists for a good reason. If you like everything spelled out please stop using apostrophes while you’re at it.
A legend through early 2000s. The game changed starting 2013-14 and he never adjusted. Bailed or undervalued a bunch of tech names that could have yield 2-3x his actual return. Recent example is them bailing on TSM because of Chinese invasion fears.
I think RoW is trying to send a message to certain US constituents.

Edit: so much hate for something so benign.

What would be cool is if you can put AI to identify individual birds. They all have different calls/voices, though largely indistinguishable to human ears. And you can name them and see when they come for a visit.
Re:iPhone Duo on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @02:40PM (#49631688)
I take it this is a joke? I am in my 50s and don’t see myself staring at screens for too long, let alone coding.

Edit: I don’t know of anyone 75 still coding outside of retired professors here and there. I am not trying to be an ageist. I just don’t think I will be physically capable when I am 75.

$1999 is ridiculous.

Edit: Wow, I didn’t know Samsung foldable was priced similarly. It’s a lot of money to pay for something inherently fragile.
