Oh boy. I should proof read before posting lmao.

I’m curious how many menus deep the car wash mode is too

I’ve been running HA for two years and barely understand YAML, let alone the main YAML config, which is keeping me from accomplishing a few things I want to do, like taking better control of my air filter.

I’ve been dabbling with Ubuntu for my home assistant and my Plex media server and every damn time I find myself asking ‘why isn’t there a GUI for that?!’

I get where you’re coming from I think. I disagree that it’s less secure but I’m not here to argue, just to understand.

Without speaking for you, is it the fact that it could be triggered accidentally (though rather unlikely) that makes you feel it’s less secure?

As far as the technology goes, it’s the same as using Apple Pay from your phone which is pretty secure. So the only difference I see is the lack of biometric with each instance of using your watch, though it does require your PIN or phones biometric each time it needs to be unlocked, it just effectively keeps that token until the watch is removed from your wrist.

Just curious to know which watch has that laborious of a process. No judgement here.

My Apple Watch is a double click and my default card pops right up. Ezpz.

What watch do you use?

I double click my power button and Apple Pay is there. Way more convenient for me than to pull my wallet out of my purse, pull my card out, wave or insert it, put it back in the wallet, and put the wallet back in my purse.

It’s not for everyone, but I definitely find it more convenient.

Using your debit card to pay is convenient, but it can also mean you spend more is, I believe, a sentiment that was passed around when cards started being widely accepted.

Lmao’s in VPN

What’d I do?

No fucking clue

I hired an accountant to do my taxes this year and her company had just switched to Libre Office and she, a boomer, could t figure out how to open a fucking CSV with it. She kept complaining about it just being a string of numbers and letters.

I resorted to providing her with PDFs instead.

I just spent some time on Claude 3, and I see how it can be considered ‘better’ than GPT4, however I quickly found that it tends to lie about itself in subtle ways. When I called it out on an error it would say things like ‘I’ll strive to be better’. I called it out on the fact that it’s model doesn’t grow or change based on conversations it has and that it’s impossible for it to strive to do anything outside of, maybe, that chat. It then went on to show me that it couldn’t even adjust within that chat by doing the same thing 5 more times in 5 different ways.

I see the model it used for the apologies (acknowledge, apologize, state intent to do better in the future) which is appropriate for people or beings capable of learning, but it is not. I went from having a good conversation with it about a poem I wrote to being weirdly grossed out by it. GPT does a good job of not pretending to be human, and I appreciate that.

As two major manufacturers double down on developing hydrogen cell cars.

The complaints about electric infrastructure not being ready for widespread adoption but people championing hydrogen cell just boggles my mind.
