I desperately want to switch from lightroom but darktable isn’t even close to being an efficient replacement for quickly sorting through, tagging and editing a day’s shooting of 50mp raw files.

It’s an order of magnitude slower and with way more clicks to do anything

This is how most of the telcos work in NZ. They sell unlimited plans with 10gb or whatever of high speed data. It drops to 2mbs when you run out that month

Sony pictures just closed Pixelmondo after running it further into the ground

He’ll tell you in his plan in “two weeks”

But are you willing to pay $5 to $10 a roll when you’re making a video joke?

The media should really be asking why is this senile old man making imaginary deals in his head?

Bad bot, go home.

Nah, call it Further Uniting Common Key Trading, Respecting Unity & Managing Plonkers

Yeah I’m still using the last of the good Panasonic VT50 models. It’s still going strong with a great picture. We got it in 2009. It’s early smart features were retired long ago.

These articles make me shudder what I might replace it with

For $40 a day you can hire a car and driver for the days you want it

Once these companies have to start charging what it really costs to maintain and run these huge models. The number of use cases will shrivel.

The amperage to do that is insane, either you’re dumping power from town sized feeder lines (seriously limiting where you can place those chargers) or you are charging capacitors to charge the car (wasting energy and limiting how often you can charge a car at those speeds)

Watch the rhetoric ramp up while trump buys Spanish stocks on their way down, only to TACO and profit

Oh the fancy ones are separate bits of paper. Mostly they print a qc check with a tick right onto the packaging

Yeah I’m using it on a low power Intel NUC, the cheap quad core one, with a USB coral. It’s insane how efficient that is

Frigate is good too

Dhs Just take the data from the cloud providers

I had some micropython boards using mqtt to talk to HA, great for sensors, but have switched most to Esphome, it integrates easier into HA.

I’ve got a wall switch on the coffee grinder that switches off after a min, because otherwise it’s power supply humms.

I’ve got a epaper display on the fridge, battery powered that tells me what type of recycling goes out this week (uses deep sleep mode on esp to wake up every 18hrs, pull info from HA calendar to display, report it’s battery state, so we can get a mobile alert to charge it every couple of months)

A esp8266 board that’s got 6 relays, hooked up to dampers on the central air conditioning, turns on or off airflow to different rooms.

Power monitoring for the washing machine to send a voice message when the washing machine is done, using Athom Tech plugs that come with Esphome pre installed

Another athom tech plug on our electric blankets, nothing like having them automatically come on and never having to worry about leaving them on (will turn off after 3hrs after they automatically or are manually turned on)

Several accent lights using Esphome powered rgb light strips, could also use wled, but Esphome is good for this too

I’m still rocking the last good plasma panel, the Panasonic VT50 from 2009, it was good enough for 3d review of the first avatar film in meeting rooms and I’m just waiting for it to die so I can upgrade.

Even your 4k Netflix is mastered in 2k and uprezed. Often shot in 6k to allow for zooming in in the edit
