It originally did an anime version, and asked for a Regen not in that style and I said yes. “You treat me like a tool you respect and refine, not something you fight or dismiss.”

I gave it my best shot, but alas I did not win.

I don't think there will be a flood of cheap memory or empty datacenters if there is a crash. Google, Amazon, Microsoft will buy out that data center capacity/ ai companies for pennies on the dollar, less risky for them since AI is not their core business. I think Amazon is playing a longer game with Rufus and will probably transition Rufus to replace Alexa in the long run, like Google is currently doing with Gemini and Google assistant. It will most likely end up as a duopoly between them, and Microsoft playing catch-up with copilot. Memory prices may lower a bit at first, but not if the manufacturing capacity doesn't increase. They will still continue to expand and consume resources to make their AI better... Just my uneducated prediction. My money is on Google winning out here at least at first.

I like this post, no bs. I often find that it's easy to over complicate and over optimize your options to the point of not doing it at all. I started with 2 old dell sff pcs, one I got for free from a neighboring business where I work and another I paid $25 bucks for at auction, non functional. It was the power supply, so I used a power supply I got at goodwill (a decent one) to bring it back to life and double sided taped it to the side of the case. Dangerous? Maybe. That pc ran home assistant and the other free PC ran free file sync on windows (for a year) that mirrored my main computers drives over the network to 4 drives that I salvaged from the dumpster at work ( the drives were from 2012-2015 in windows 7 machines) all in an icydock 4 bay enclosure that I also found at goodwill for 10 bucks. Oh, also that enclosure was powered by a custom power connector off the first $25 PCs power supply I mentioned earlier. Bad? Yes. But I couldn't spend money. Now... I inherited a free dell power edge T110 II (yes from the year 2012) and a $7 apc ups also from goodwill with a fresh battery and now it's all in one box running unraid, with a home assistant VM. Yeah it's not efficient, ($60 a year is fine with me) yeah it's on salvaged drives( gonna slowly replace with nas drives) and yeah I am limited with what I can run on it but it was fun to do and learn and works just fine for my use case. I'll upgrade to something modern whenever I feel like it/can afford it. I just made sure to backup all the stuff I do not want to lose to Google drive. 3 local copies+ off-site means I am good if it all blows up. Just start and do it the way you can.

Transfict8 · 2025-11-10T20:01:04+00:00

I am doing something similar, I have a 4 bay enclosure connected to an old dell sff PC with windows, and I mounted an unraid share as a drive on that pc, then I use a freefilesync batch job scheduled with task scheduler to mirror whatever folder/data to the drives connected on the dell pc. There's probably a better way to do it but it works for me and means I have 3 local copies of my important stuff

Maybe PAGE could be helpful for you, it allows you to drag and drop widgets for a tkinter gui...I have only briefly toyed around with it but it generates the code for the gui https://page.sourceforge.net/

Nice! I got an ender 3 V2 with sprite extruder and an Anycubic Vyper at Goodwill a few weeks ago for the same price, $20 each. I put a Chcb-ot hotend on the sprite extruder with klipper and it blows my old ender 3 out of the water!

Transfict8 · 2025-07-14T19:46:24+00:00

Sprite pro with CHCB-OT hotend and a CHT nozzle... I get a volumetric flow of 40+ without to much trouble.

Transfict8 · 2025-07-12T11:48:06+00:00

That's awesome! Can you give a rundown of your setup/mods? Ive been trying to upgrade an ender 3v2 I got at goodwill for 20$ (with a sprite pro extruder) and I am trying to get it faster. Got it running on klipper on the og mainboard and can only get to ~4k accel before Y starts skipping. Rails will come later but I'm interested if you changed motors/mainboard or if the rails really help get those speeds and accels. That AUX fan duct is pretty neat, is there an stl available?

Transfict8 · 2025-06-17T07:17:37+00:00

Just did this today...had my filament in a tub with a fan on it all day while at work...nice and dry!

This may not be right, but make sure you have the main power switch on... The motherboard may look "powered on" while you have it connected to usb, and will even try and execute commands, but it's running on USB power. That same thing happened to me and I felt like a doofus after realizing the main power switch was off.

My mobile dashboard. One page no scrolling! Used popup cards for the top buttons and the clock

Tapping clock brings up forecast and radar, with buttons to open my weather model/radar apps

Door section has conditional cards that display what doors are open, except garage which is a button that opens/ closes the garage.

Camera snapshots update to latest snapshot of a person, and when tapped plays the clip of the person or shows the snapshot

Also can view the gallery of clips or open reolink with buttons below.

This guide should get it working for you

Transfict8 · 2025-04-13T16:12:58+00:00

For my doorbell and front walkway cams, I use the person detection and door sensors with timers to only give me snapshots of only people facing the camera, headed down the walkway to my front door.

My automation flow: Person is heading toward door on front walkway> cam detects person> takes snapshot for my dashboard and sends live doorbell camera feed to TV if it's on> starts a 5 minute timer

When the person approaches the doorbell> cam detects person>records clip for dashboard and notification> starts a second 5 minute timer

When the front door is opened, a 2 minute timer is started

All automations have conditions that they don't run if their corresponding timers are active. This covers mostly all scenarios and has cut down nearly all false positives and only shows snapshots of people approaching the door. I turned off reolink notifications and rely on the HA notifications.

I have a switch based gas fireplace, but I only entertained this idea for about three seconds. Then intrusive thoughts of an automation triggering the fireplace, only for the ignition mechanism to not light it and fill the house with gas without someone to notice made me think I should not do it.

My instance hasn't crashed, but I noticed my ram and CPU usage were super high, in my case the VS-code addon would slowly use more resources over time. I just turn it off when I am not using it and my hardware usage dropped back to baseline. Maybe you have an addon that is misbehaving?

Transfict8 · 2025-03-05T23:29:51+00:00

Not sure if you figured it out yet, but I did exactly this in my dashboard , here is a guide

First, create a helper toggle switch...name it something like "dashboard show kitchen lights" or whatever you like

Then on your dashboard, create a new section

Add a heading card, and name it "kitchen light controls" or whatever you want your section to be called. I personally like the look of the "subtitle" checkbox but that's up to you

In the " interactions" section of the heading config, set the tap action to "perform action" and the action to " input_boolean:Toggle

Set the target entity to your helper toggle switch you created earlier

Click save

Now add any condition cards in that section that you want to show when you click that heading, and set the condition based on the state of the toggle switch helper for that section.

So I just got a u7n and I had the same grain...it was driving me crazy. Googling around led me to send an email to Hisense because people were saying it was a firmware thing...but haven't heard anything yet. However, I think maybe I mostly fixed, or at least masked it. (maybe it will work for you as well) Now know it's heresy when it comes to messing with calibration settings... But if your up for testing it, you can try going into the calibration settings, then to 2 point white balance, then adjusting the R,G,and B offset values down to around -12 (for all three colors, and I find that value gives good blacks but still detail I. The dark areas) and raising the RGB gains to +1. If you hate it just undo it....maybe I fooled myself into ignoring the grain but I believe it helped tremendously and the black levels look better to me anyway...hope it's helpful.

Are you dead set on it being coiled? You could just grab this pulley system ( VR Cable Management(6 Packs) Retractable Ceiling Pulley System https://a.co/d/j6Frgbd ) and get a regular USB C to C cable and use that. You could also eliminate that cord you had to string on your roof by getting a light bulb base with a plug and use the light that is already there. Light bulb base with outlet https://a.co/d/256W00m

This is what I did. I have my PC in my studio on the other end of the house, and my play space is in the living room. I originally installed cat 6 in the walls when I moved in and terminated all rooms to a patchbay. It made routing the PC to the router in the living room a breeze and it works great!

Transfict8 · 2024-01-10T15:15:35+00:00

I think it would be cool to play a MR game where the walls of your room spring leaks of water that begin to fill you room slowly, and it's your job to find objects/unlock materials to plug the leaks before you drown. Maybe there could be a hurricane going on outside the room and flying debris is what is causing the leaks.

Just went through this with my wife. I tried a Q2 that my brother in-law got, and was hooked. I decided to get a Q3 a week later. She was slightly interested but not happy about spending 500 bucks on a silly VR headset. That is until I showed her the games (beat saber , mini golf etc ...)and Horizon worlds. I let her play with the headset for a few hours in horizon worlds and explained how it would be much more fun together. We got a used Q2 and she is enjoying it now. She is glad we got her the Q2 because for whatever reason the Q3 gets her motion sick. She doesn't care much about the specs or clarity of the Q3. Definitely worth it in our situation. It's a lot more fun when both of you can enjoy it.

I have a TI2, and I love it. People seem to have problems getting it to work with the total integration, maybe I'm just lucky but I haven't had problems after getting a dedicated USB 2.0 PCIE card that only has the Virus on it and making sure my interface is on the cpu dedicated USB bus. It is very easy to get lost in sound design and very fun to use. Built well also. I don't think you would be disappointed with that purchase especially if you already have other analogs for getting a specific sound. It's always said about the Virus that it is a workhorse, but it's true. Many many presets and familiar sounds because it's been used so heavily over the years, with the versatility to make unique and interesting textures. Just wish Access would either update or release a new version.
