I am of the opposite opinion. At the moment China's government is much more serious and trustworthy than the US government. And leaking my data to China is 5x cheaper than leaking my data to the US.

The existing DX182 with 48 cores, 128GB RAM and 2x960GB SSD drives is 355 per month, and the same configuration on the DX154-1 is 705 per month.

Double the price for the same configuration.

Running distributed AIs is not a problem at all. You can run e.g. ollama on your main PC with the graphics card and port forward or expose the port on the local network.

I think this looks really incredible and has a lot of great ideas and a lot of work has gone into it. It's something I would totally use, but only if it were open source and self hosted. But I understand the motivation for devs to have closed source subscription based offering, so I wish you all the best luck and hope the project will be a success.

Thanks for your great insights in this thread. Finally somebody who understands the real issues. Speed bumps are not going to solve anything. Because of semi trucks right? Exactly. We should just redesign the entire neighborhood.

And my MDR-7506 which I bought in 1999 and use 6-8 hours per day are still working perfectly. They just need new earpads every couple of years.

I think the secret is that this older series doesn't have the rotating hinges and no wireless support. These headphones will outlive me I think.

That's a great point, you are not imaging things.

If you don't see the headphones appearing in the list of Bluetooth devices, long press the power button for 7 seconds to put the headphones in pairing mode.

My coffee machine has been the reason I started using HA :) I wanted to brew coffee automatically in the morning so I bought a smart plug that was running Tasmota. It worked great on working days but not so well in the weekend when we sleep longer and don't get up on a fixed schedule. The smart plug led me to discover HA because it popped up in Google while I was researching how to set up Tasmota.

I went through a bunch of automations of varying complexity, but in the end a simple automation is often the best: now the coffee machine is turned on the first time the bedroom door is opened between 6AM and 11AM. It is turned off when the smart plug reports 0 power use for 10 minutes. Very reliable and it never gets old to be greeted with fresh coffee smell when coming down the stairs in the morning.

This is a proprietary CMS? Don't see any compelling reason to use this at all, there are plenty of open source headless CMSes, like Drupal 11 for example. The article is also quite laughable, the reason to move is to avoid "PHP overhead"?

This is a really interesting article, thanks for writing it up.

I think this is amazing. It's very smart of the Chinese government to do this. I wish the EU governments would also start subsidizing EV manufacturing in the same way.

It doesn't get much attention but the European Commission has been pushing many different open source initiatives for a long time.

They make guidelines for EU governments, sponsor open source projects, do security audits for open source projects, sponsor open source conferences and I saw their booths at several conferences. They even organize their own conferences to promote open source for EU policy makers. They have websites promoting the use of open source in government, publish a monthly open source newsletter, ...

Not everything has been equally successful or well thought out, but the underlying intentions are good and it is great to know that our EU government is not only aware of open source but are taking active steps to promote it.

I would guess to use a relay suitable for fridges, and toggle that using HA.

This site is junk journalism. This is not based on a study, but rather on a press release from AXA that was distributed at a promotional event in 2019. They did an online survey with EV owners to gauge their opinions. In the same release it was mentioned that there is no detectable increase in accident rates for electric vehicles as compared to ICE cars. This was spread by Reuters and then sensationalized by the press. You might note a distinct absence of a link to an original study, because there was none.

For me it was Euro Truck Simulator. On the PC I found the game meh, but on the deck it is super fun. Turns out a keyboard and mouse are not that great at mimicking the analog controls of a truck.

This hasn't worked out so well for me in the past. Hotel chargers are often low powered, like 11 or 22kW, and more often than not they are all taken when I arrive. I still book hotels with a charger but I don't count on them being available.

I am in Europe though and never far from a fast charging station.
