Sounds like a use case for touchscreen wall controllers like Shelly ones. Controlling things in your house by unlocking your phone, opening the app, finding the right dashboard, pressing buttons is a poor user experience compared with operating a switch on the wall.

This bill is targeting critical national infrastructure and including data centres into the scope of the national cyber resilience effort.

The fines are for companies (telcos, utilities) who fail to patch against known vulns in a timely manner, meant to light a fire under those companies who don’t care enough to invest in cyber defence and are routinely compromised.

This is a good thing for national security.

Exertis, Midwich, ProAV will all help you get hold of a commercial display. You’ll pay more because the screens are rated for 18/7 operation, but you’ll get no OS and a single HDMI port to connect your shit.

NEC, Phillips, Sharp and BenQ are worth looking at as alternatives to the mainstream brands.

Affected neighbours should install their own solar panels then - surely all that extra “intolerable glare” will translate into lots of extra solar energy and therefore offset any loss of value through savings on energy bills.

That being said, with all the hot air coming out of these neighbours mouths, they probably don’t have any trouble keeping their houses warm.

nothing like this, but normal folks doing their best not to buy american products and produce.

I’ve got two of the Screek 2A sensors and think they’re good. Mmwave technology isn’t a magic bullet that automatically works every time, like all radio tech there are some limitations.

I use one to turn on a light in a hallway and the other to detect when someone approaches the front door and issue an alert via ntfy.sh. Once in a while it misses some motion, so I’d probably not recommend it if you were building a human life kind of scenario, but they’re fine for me.

More importantly, they’re well supported by HA/ESPHome, open source, inexpensive and compact.

Calling it now - it will be written in such a way that Musk’s motley crew will be required to maintain it or update proprietary closed source components at extreme cost forever - practically guaranteeing he will always have full access to the data and be able to charge what he likes for any changes whoever takes power after Trump is gone.

 

I know they’re not as beautiful as some of the posts here, and my resource distribution needs a bit of work.

My challenge to myself was to build factories that are a complete solution and fit in the blueprint designer mk2. The idea is that each factory takes raw materials and produces a single high tier part (like turbo motors or radios). All the parts get fired into the dimensional uploader.

I can scale my part production by just building more of the kind of factory that I need. Currently I have two of each.
