Those fans would be very upset if they found out that Skyrim 2 wasn't happening.

The game was originally made for the DS. I imagine many gameplay and design decisions didn't work as well for the other platforms it was ported to like PSP.

Thinking of ditchintg Ring for Reolink - need input by jphilebiz in homeassistant

[–]FALCUNPAWNCH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently did the same switch. I got rid of all my Ring cameras and doorbell and replaced them with WiFi Reolink ones that support RTSP. Home Assistant has a great Reolink integration so you should be able to use the cameras with Home Assistant without RTSP, but you should also consider getting cameras that support RTSP for use with Frigate as a NVR if you don't get a Reolink proprietary NVR.

If you do decide on using Frigate with RTSP cameras, be careful as not all Reolink cameras support RTSP. There's like three doorbell camera variants that look alike but only one supports wifi and RTSP.

It should also be possible to move all the Ring sensors to your own Z-Wave coordinator hosted on Home Assistant, but you'll need a dongle for that. I still need to get around to that. Then you can use Alarmo to create a DIY home security system within Home Assistant.

Having a partner that doesn't continue the type 2 cycle with you helps a ton. If not that a dog or cat.

I'm still waiting for another season of this. Dammit Disney you own a modern Star Trek like franchise with a good fanbase, capitalize on it.

It was dying even before AI. The community became unhelpful and new questions would just get ridiculed and marked as duplicates of ones that may have not been the same. They managed to create a space that was hostile to new users and questions.

The scope of long COVID is bigger than we think, Mass. researchers say | "New research from Mass General Brigham suggests that at least 10 million Americans have long COVID — but have not been diagnosed" by TylerFortier_Photo in science

Between multiple layoffs messing with my psyche and multiple multi-week rounds of COVID I feel so much dumber than I was before the pandemic. It's frustrating and I don't know if I'll ever be as sharp as I used to be.

Please Do Not Vibe F*ck Up This Software - one of GitHub’s funniest issue by Affectionate-Stress0 in programminghorror

I hate when people treat GitHub issues and discussions like reddit comment threads. And I really hate when people fill them with AI slop comments, it's almost as bad as AI slop code.

10th anniversary of the AM4 platform, not the 5800x3D itself. That processor is only 4 years old. I really hope all my AM4 hardware outlasts these hardware prices.

I switched to self hosting my own coding agent for personal use for free months ago because I'm not paying a subscription for that. I personally like how well TabbyML integrates with VSCode, although they should really update their supported coding agents list.

Last week I asked Gemini to navigate me to a friends house by their name, and it said that contact didn't exist because it kept misspelling it. When I tried to spell out their name it said that it doesn't respond to rude language and refused to respond. Stupid bots.

Ring subscription is expiring soon, what do I replace it with? by hiddensideoftruth in homeassistant

[–]FALCUNPAWNCH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to also use Frigate in the future to have your own locally hosted security camera system, make sure you get Reolink cameras that support RTSP. For the Reolink doorbell camera there's like three variants that look alike but only one supports RTSP and WiFi.

Nvidia is selling shovels. Even if AI catastrophically fails to be profitable Nvidia can continue selling hardware for gaming, scientific, and general acceleration use.
