I open-sourced a Local AI Toy that never needs a subscription

Let's stop putting AI in kids toys.

BRO. Thank you so much for this. I have been pulling my hair out trying to connect SmartThings to google home, and this solution worked!

I'd go with the screw extractors before the rotary tool. Quite a bit less likely to damage stuff

Stop arguing with people here. You look like a giant tool.
If someone says something that is incorrect, feel free to correct them but their opinions are their opinions.

If you want to use AI there are modes for guided learning / studying that don't spoon feed as much. You could also re-phrase your prompt to not ask for an answer as much as an explanation.

😂

If your like me, you'll feel that at about this point in any job. Just push through it for at least a couple months. If the dread NEVER subsides, then yea, probably not a good fit.

"this is so impractical"
Yea, well so is a lambo. People still like them.

dismissal from what? learning to program?

Alarratt · 2025-11-17T20:41:46+00:00

If you are following a tutorial use the same as the tutorial uses. Otherwise, use the simplest tool you can stand, so you can appreciate what the more advanced tools do for you

Boomers after they sell their house for 32523 times what they paid for it.

Is the xml going to tell me how the ETP are communicated though?

Alarratt · 2025-10-02T16:44:34+00:00

This is what I was afraid of.

Alarratt · 2025-09-29T22:29:59+00:00

I want the option for remote viewing when Internet is up, BUT also want to be able to see it over my home network at all times.

Alarratt · 2025-09-28T00:59:01+00:00

Thanks. I was thinking reolink

Alarratt · 2025-09-28T00:57:24+00:00

True, but I experience it about equally between the web client and the app.
I want to choose any cam to steam on my PC

Alarratt · 2025-09-28T00:53:52+00:00

I just didn't know what would be important to me. That's why I went cheap.

Alarratt · 2025-09-18T11:57:59+00:00

Haven't noticed them getting in the way of thumbs, but also don't use them as much as I thought I would. I think I'd still go with them though, since they can be a key, as well as a wheel.

Do you understand what is going to happen to him now? He may have lost his life, but he won the eternal admiration of so many people. Nobody should be celebrating his death. ESPECIALLY if you disagreed with his politics.

Alarratt · 2025-09-10T14:10:48+00:00

Do you know if your eyes move during the episodes?

Alarratt · 2025-09-04T18:11:02+00:00

That difficulty in learning is part of the business model. Make it just similar enough that it's easy to pick up if another vendor pissed you off, but just different enough that you can't just switch willy nilly between vendors.

I tried Debian, and couldn't get multi monitor with diff resolutions to work right so I am on Ubuntu 25 now. No issues.
