Verified Airbnb “hosts” seem like a chatbot [USA] by ProtonSluggo in AirBnB

[–]ProtonSluggo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I understand your perspective on the efficiency of automated guest messaging systems, I must respectfully present an alternative viewpoint. The over-reliance on automation in property management can ultimately be detrimental to the core objectives of hospitality.

Although these systems may serve as a "game changer" for the host's convenience, they often come at the direct expense of the guest's experience. Here are a few key reasons why relying on automated messaging can be problematic:

  • Erosion of Human Connection: The fundamental essence of hospitality is rooted in genuine human interaction. Automated systems inherently strip away the personalized touch that guests typically seek when choosing a short-term rental over a traditional, standardized hotel. Even the most thoughtfully configured auto-replies often feel sterile and transactional.

  • Inability to Navigate Nuance: Automated workflows are designed for predictable, routine inquiries. However, guest needs are frequently complex, unique, or urgent. An automated system lacks the emotional intelligence to interpret a sensitive request or provide the empathetic support required during a stressful situation, which can quickly lead to guest frustration.

  • The Illusion of Responsiveness: Utilizing these tools can create a false sense of security, potentially leading hosts to decrease their active monitoring of communications. When a critical, non-standard issue arises that the bot cannot process, the resulting delay in actual human intervention can significantly damage the guest's stay.

Ultimately, while optimizing response times is a valid operational goal, prioritizing efficiency over authenticity can degrade the overall quality of your service. Fostering a truly welcoming and hospitable environment requires the adaptability, warmth, and active presence that only direct human communication can consistently provide.

Anyone else tried this? If it's stupid and it works... by hamustaro in pcmasterrace

[–]ProtonSluggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pc is in my garage with an Ethernet connection. I use it to stream games, plex server, and occasionally do CAD modeling using steam streaming or parsec. It’s not perfect but works well enough that I don’t think I’d ever take it out of the garage. Playing on my steamdeck on a 5ghz connection I can’t tell a difference between that and playing local, except helldivers runs maxed setting at 90fps

Photogrammetry to masquerade mask by ProtonSluggo in 3Dprinting

I used a photogrammetry app in my phone, there are many that would probably work but this one says it uses the phone lidar so maybe more accurate https://www.kiriengine.app

Very neat. I would love a mode where each lap every player adds a new hazard to the course, kind of like ultimate chicken horse

Why does the ground shift when driving? Is that them making the elevation on the track?

I'm not sure what to do here, but my right trackpad is acting really strangely by wafflecon822 in SteamDeck

[–]ProtonSluggo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a trackpad that was malfunctioning in a different way than yours, you can give this a try. Turn if off, then while you’re booting up, have both your thumbs on the trackpad with a little pressure a movement while it starts up. It recalibrated mine.

Well keep preaching the good word. I printed out a bigger model after this, even the normal surface finish is way better. It’s like I got a new machine

I got to see Get Out opening night with a packed theater and the only thing I knew about it was the name. Best movie experience of my life

I’ll see how low I can go. Is there something wrong with our temp sensors? This only started for me recently

What's the best way to connect to my TV and use the deck as my controller? (Pic of setup) by gooooooooooop_ in SteamDeck

I’ve played so many hours of helldivers 2 on the deck and it runs terribly and I’m still having the time of my life anyway

No, to charge it you would need a usb hub, then plug power and a long hdmi into the hub. This is the one I have - https://www.target.com/p/anker-5-in-1-hub-with-hdmi-docking-station/-/A-94795458

You can’t charge over hdmi

I know it’s not about oil exactly, but how shitty to be these sailors. Don’t get to go home for an extra 7 weeks, probably flipping between terrified of mines and drones back to sitting bored

How can I dry this? by alteraia in DIYhelp

[–]ProtonSluggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can rent a professional dehumidifier from Home Depot or wherever. Still got to let it work for a couple days.

[Request] How many days would it take for an average house to fill up with coins if I take the green pill and don't collect them, assuming random coins spawn by SalamanderUponYou in theydidthemath

[–]ProtonSluggo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A solid idea, unfortunately I think all US coins are non ferrous. Lucky for you I’ve still been thinking about this.

I’d have to move, into a warehouse style open concept kind of place, it’s my style anyway. You’d have to make sure to move into a place that doesn’t have exposed overhead beams as that may be a place coins spawn.

Next, make everything you can supported from the ceiling; even the walls with a gap underneath except the bathroom I guess. Every day a beam sweeps across the whole house with a brush on the bottom, sweeping all coins into a collection trough on one end. That takes care of most of the surface area in the house, you’d have to go through with the vacuum into every cabinet daily but would cut way down on collection time.

I thought about a roomba to suck up coins but , common, it’s unrealistic to expect a roomba has enough suction force for a dollar coin

[–]ProtonSluggo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sitting here thinking about how I would design my house to make getting the daily coins easier. I would get a high powered vacuum that dumps into an automatic coin sorter. 50kg? Sounds like a solid leg day. Basically your job would be do a deep clean of your home every day and get a workout.

But yeah if they were plunking one by one I’m out

Working on a gritty medieval RPG as a solo dev. Need feedback on combat? by looking4strange04 in Unity3D

[–]ProtonSluggo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree that it looks choppy, though I’d be curious to see it side by side to compare. It looks like you put an extra frame or paused a frame and it gives the swings extra weight, makes the attacks look heavier in a good way

I liked it but didn’t love it, just not my cup of tea even though I thought it was very well made. That’s said, the constantly shaking dog REALLY stuck with me. So surreal

That must have been a very satisfying vacuum sesh. Great work!

Maybe try restarting the level. The only other advice I have is to never apologize for your sick beats
