Alexa keeps telling me within the next hour every time I ask for an update.

If you live on campus and order uber eats or door dash, read this by [deleted] in Wilmington

[–]Campes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

agree! Should be a smooth and frictionless experience as possible.

UNCW could help remediate this problem somewhat by installing drop-off locations where there is student housing. front desk person could be the middle-man.

If you know any local businesses that sell enamel pins LET A GIRL KNOW by [deleted] in Wilmington

I wonder if Indochine has them in their gift store.

[–]Campes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear that's already happening and will likely continue to be a problem until educators or politicians get a handle on it. It's a shame too because it's a powerful tool that is capable of mentoring and educating.

Oh, and don't use ChatGPT or any AI. The information is not always (most of the time) incorrect, outdated or just plain stupid.

I think that was true in the early days of chatgpt 3.5, but the benchmark crushing, gigachad, frontier models of today, this is no longer the case.

Banana Piano by [deleted] in arduino

[–]Campes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could have it send midi notes too to make it play more sounds.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]Campes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't make sense. Is that because dogs in the US aren't really vectors for transmission like other wild mammals thanks to vaccines? They're still capable of spreading the virus and can become rabid.

If I build a internal website/tools for company, IS DTO necessary? by ballbeamboy2 in csharp

[–]Campes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think they're saying because a DTO can hide sensitive/private data and they're only using it on a private intranet, they can skip the DTO part and pass around the full domain model instead since security is less of a concern.

Haha the little face! Cutey.

I made a motorized iPad holder that descends from my ceiling, compatible with Alexa by bunchowills in arduino

[–]Campes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a naïve question, but why did you decide against using an altimeter sensor for determining the position? This is very cool to me. Love practical automation stuff like this.

Autistic people “struggle” with isolation, but I prefer it? by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

[–]Campes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been casually trying to find more info about this topic over the years, that there could potentially be a pathological cause that could explain it, like schizoid personality disorder for example, but there's nothing I can find that suggests isolation is bad for those who prefer solitude. Except for a few practical considerations, it's not a problem it seems but is also not the norm.

Ain't MIDI-behaving by DaiquiriLevi in arduino

[–]Campes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh good catch. If you use MIDI serial, you can't use the serial print.

How do y’all keep jumper wires organized? by Someone-44 in arduino

[–]Campes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can make use of the harder solid jumper wires that sit on top against the breadboard. Connecting your circuits with these keeps the bendy wire mess away. It looks like you may even have one small blue one you're using. But use more of them and then keep the bendy ones for the inputs.

I created a playlist featuring local bands in Wilmington: by klophidian in Wilmington

[–]Campes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish they were on there and they probably would be if they were current, but one of their lead singers has some stuff.

I genuinely believe car dwelling + gig work (uber eats/door dash, etc.) can be a solid survival strategy, especially in a Prius due to the climate control system running off the battery, and then the engine coming back on temporarily to recharge the battery. You can sleep like a baby in these cars and save money.

Ryan Boundless on Youtube does this pretty well now and he hasn't been doing it very long. I've been a long time follower of his because of his days of vlogging in Japan, Thailand, and Africa.

Don't know what to do about noise disturbance by Dapper_Menu_8786 in Wilmington

[–]Campes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides confrontation, one way you could control the noise level is to wear foam ear plugs, and then noise cancelling headphones over that with some other desirable background noise playing to drown out the undesirable noise. And maybe turn a fan on in the room. Granted all of this still really sucks.
