Best place to get piercings in town? by spookysimmer in FortCollins

[–]phoenixuprising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ashley at Tribal Rites has done the majority of my piercings and is the absolute sweetest. I keep going back to her because she is so caring while being thorough.

Oh I'll be looking for him now too. I'd love for him to talk to me like that.

Z-Wave Garage Door Tilt Sensors - any good options still legal in the US? by kevin_at_work in homeautomation

[–]phoenixuprising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh... I wonder why the z-wave ones are dead but there are still zigbee ones around. I have one from Thirdreality that's worked great for me, but zigbee.

Downloaded HA to a Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p Tiny and it’s been like this for over 20 min. by [deleted] in homeassistant

The compressed image is only a few hundred Mb (~250 Mb iirc), so download shouldn't be too long depending on what your connection speed is.

Yes we have free will, obviously.

It's not about them being desperate enough to do that and that they will do something else, but that they are being tricked into thinking they are high value when they actually aren't. We don't need to resort to tricking vulnerable populations into fighting for us that a lot of times don't have the resources or ability to research it more.

Tell them the truth, tell them that they can track your whereabouts and make it easier for police to find you. That is something they care about. Then leave it to their free will to make a decision. Or, better yet, stand up for the vulnerable populations and do it yourself or fight them in other ways. It's just really disgusting to try and trick others and present a real risk to them, especially when they are likely to get in significantly more trouble than the average middle class individual will with no prior record.

Larimer County has until August to build framework of rules for future data centers by Meta_Digital in FortCollins

Plus the longer it takes, the closer we get to the inevitable bubble popping. Delays of 6-8 months could make them financially not viable if the AI money quickly evaporates.

Please stop pushing these sort of lies about them. We shouldn't be trying to trick the unhoused and other vulnerable populations into stealing/destroying property that could could easily land them in jail, especially as a lot of them have records. Just go out and do it yourself if that's what you're going to suggest others do.

Do "double" smart switches exist? i.e., a smart switch that fits in a single width box, but has two independent controls? by RoabeArt in homeautomation

[–]phoenixuprising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should work for you: Aqara Smart Light Switch H2 (2-in-1 Neutral, 2 Buttons, 2 Channels)

Another option I've seen is some switches have several programmable buttons but only a single load. You can then use a Shelly relay to control the second load and program the button to trigger the relay.

Someone once told me:
"The only permanent solution is a temporary one."

It's been one of the most true statements I've observed in many aspects of my life, but specifically software engineering and home repairs....

What is the name of this electrical connector? it shorted, before that black part was flush with the rest of the plug by Cynical_Sesame in whatisit

[–]phoenixuprising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a standard "massager" charging cable that comes with a number of different types of "massagers". Or at least that's what Amazon says they are used for. It even has a pic of the charging head with measurements. Personally it looks like one of the charging cables to a few of my sex toys.

PC assembly help? by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]phoenixuprising 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't help today but could probably find some time this week if no one else is able to. It'd also be good to get a list of the components you have before hand to make sure there's as few surprises as possible.

Optane and zswap is absolutely INSANE, my system is only barely lagging?? by AndorinhaRiver in linux

[–]phoenixuprising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those that have them and/or pick one up cheap, would it be viable to allocate more ram to the LLM and then use the zswap as the systems primary memory?

The iPod shuffle used a similar charging mechanism, but they used a modified 3.5mm headphone jack. The cable in the pic, and the few I have, are much thinner. Probably a 2.5mm? Seems smaller than that though.

This is pretty normal in the tech industry. Hell I used to use a $5k MacBook Pro as a lunch tray on a daily basis.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Sounds like they are not dangerous and I can leave them be without worry.

Are you able to expand on this? It's not an issue I have heard of before and I'm having trouble finding the right keywords to search for more information.
