Which are all things you can easily do with an RPi and some simple python. My response was to OP stating that embedded systems are hard.

If you’re using a specific embedded system and want to make it pretty, sure that could pose some issues, but if you want to make something functional that matches what a smart thermostat can do, there’s not much behind it.

Except thermostats. You literally could do it with a Raspberry Pi, some 24V relays and a temperature sensors. Thermostats are not that hard.

It was freaking tempting. It was a 70% raise.

I had a job offer from Cambridge Analytica, they were up front about the work they were doing as well as the pay. Though it was tempting to sell my soul for the pay, even I have my limits.

That already exists with PayPal and Apple Pay for example. The remote site never sees your credit card, just an approval token. You won’t be able to get away from address though as they need to know how to get it to you.

That sounds fine if you have something reading the file independently. But the actual executable code should not be able to access its own comments.

Apple releases a new major version every year, usually in September. What has Googles cadence been?

I said what I said, little shit.

(The kid, not you)

Don’t leave it hanging

I don’t really feel any remorse though. It didn’t do what I said. It gets the consequences.

wtf are you on about? The Winter Solstice is very much a verifiable fact (it’s actually the 21st so I was a day off) and marks the start of Winter in the northern hemisphere. Christmas is usually (I say usually so you can’t be pedantic about the minority outliers) celebrated on December 25th. That’s still only a few days after the solstice like I was saying.

This comic is talking about the Christmas season, creeping into Halloween and fall festivities, which is very much true in the northern hemisphere. I see your on an NZ instance which, yes the seasons are flipped there, but don’t go getting butt hurt if you can’t read context clues from the comic just because it doesn’t line up with you.

Here’s the issue I have. The Winter solstice (Dec 22nd) marks the start of Winter. Christmas is 3 days later, yet people expect it to be in the middle of winter, so people keep trying to move the season up. Realistically they should be trying to celebrate it in late January rather than pushing it back into Autumn. But they had to go and steal Yule and then keep wanting more time.

But wait the original Addams Family was… checks IMDB … 1991…. Excuse me, it’s past my old person bed time.

Dangaropan used pink and it made it more unsettling.

He went to the store to get milk. He’ll be back any day now.

One day someone is gonna invent a bag of holding and airlines are still gonna try to figure out a way to charge for it.

Is it that you hate Mondays specifically, or that it’s the first day of the work week? If you worked 4x10 and started back on Tuesday, would it be “fuck Tuesdays”?

Forza Horizon offered custom horns, one of them was the Teams “someone calling” notification. I would be in a race and use that horn and laugh as another player suddenly goes AFK.

I do laugh that it’s been long enough and relations are good enough they can joke about that.

Thank you! That’s what I was looking for.
