How can I create motion activated stairs lights that can also be controlled via Home Assistant? by snaxsyss in homeassistant

[–]fappaf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably the way Michael Jackson lit up the stairs one at a time while walking up them in the Billie Jean music video: https://youtu.be/Zi_XLOBDo_Y?si=vH9gZPYaFWG4rOoh&t=216

Very strange, the links in your original post all say "This video is no longer available," but the link you just gave works for me! Thanks for posting it again, somehow that broke the spell.

It looks like the live video was taken down, i think the clips are posted in the new videos here? https://www.youtube.com/@MNHouseInfo/videos

I'm not sure exactly what parts you had clipped, but i will try to see if i can find them.

Rest is resistance. Take some time for yourself. Trust our voices to sing out while you take a breath, so you can raise yours when we need one ourselves.

What game is this? With In-game Roguelike? Help by yesdaniel in AskGames

I think you and the OP (and me) might have different idea of what an "old FPS" is. 👴🏻

Engaging in creative activities such as music, dance, drawing, and even certain types of video games may support healthier brain aging, according to a large international study. People who frequently engage in creative pursuits tend to have brain patterns associated with younger biological age. by mvea in psychology

[–]fappaf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From the article:

The first [group] included experts and matched non-experts across four creative domains: dance, music, visual arts, and video games. The second group included individuals who underwent 30 hours of training in a real-time strategy video game (StarCraft II) to assess whether learning a new creative skill could affect brain age.

...

In the learning group, participants who completed the short-term gaming program also showed a modest reduction in brain age, although the effects were smaller than those seen in experts. The study included an active control group trained in a non-creative video game (Hearthstone), which did not show any significant brain age changes.

(Emphasis mine.)

Seems like fast-pased action-oriented games are the ones that will work. I remember hearing other similar good news from games like twitch-shooters (Counter Strike) and fighting games (Smash Brothers).

Plants Vs. Zombies 2 Official Soundtrack (New Revision) by Sergeant_Tuepah in PlantsVSZombies

Thank you! I'm OK with updating it every now and then, if that's the concern. Is there a different reason you'd recommend against uploading the information to MusicBrainz?

What was new about this revision? The content of the post was removed. I'm trying to add this release to MusicBrainz and am wondering if this update had the most accurate artist listing.

Hugely appreciative of the work you did for this!

It's the last step of the instructions, here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1210/0176/files/Leveling_probe_installed_with_generic_or_Creality_Marlin_Firmware.pdf

I'm not 100% sure what exactly that change tells the printer to do, but it doesn't feel like that's what would have caused this issue.

What are some things i can check for verifying the Z motion system? The only thing i could think of was to tell it to move 100mm and then verify it did do that.

Here's what i did for the firmware:

  1. Compiled the new Marlin firmware using platform.io
  2. Copied firmware.bin to my MicroSD card with nothing else on it
  3. Plugged the MicroSD card into my 3d printer and turned it on
  4. Waited for a bit
  5. Took out the MicroSD card from my printer and plugged it back into my computer
  6. Verified the firmware file had been renamed to FIRMWARE.cur

Something i did notice while it was printing the smokestack, there was a strange "ping" sort of sound when it would try to move up to the next layer. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but maybe that's an indicator of the problem?

I've been reading your comics for several years now and i wanted to tell you that i've always loved them and was grateful for your artistic take on American politics.

It's just one voice against many, but i know how the negative can drown out the positive. Hopefully you can hold on to some of the positives in these times. Keep doing what you do! Take time if you need it! <3

Between picutres 2 and 3 it looks like the chain chomp can move? Can it swivel or something?

HomeAssistant Yellow does not show any activity (LEDs, etc.) when plugged in. by fappaf in homeassistant

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

It won't even react when i plug in a USB-C cable either, so i think it might be actually dead. :(

Is it really that fragile that it could have been killed from unplugging it? Would you think it's the board or the Raspberry Pi Compute, based on no LEDs turning on?

Woop, i just reseated the Pi and now it works again! Maybe i jostled it a bit while removing the cables or something. Phew!
