  • Dude. Brother was founded in 1908.

  • Why don't telemarketers give up on unresponsive numbers?
  • Why would they? What advantage do they gain from doing so, compared to not?

  • Controllers are good for FPS games, especially on PC, and we have to stop pretending like they’re not
  • Show me a professional competitive gamer who plays with a controller. I'll wait.

  • Secret service agents moments after the 1981 assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan.
  • Dude with a boom mic looking bored as hell.

  • What's the Oldest Thing You Own?
  • I mean I can share pics, but it's a fairly run of the mill Victorian terrace. 11 foot ceilings and a picture rail in the lounge which is nice. A few of the original features remain. Compared to a lot of the houses in the Georgian market town I live in, mine is positively new.

  • What's the Oldest Thing You Own?
  • My house. Built in the 1840s.

  • What's a cozy, preferably non-alcoholic drink to enjoy for cozy wintery nights?
  • Yorkshire Gold, a drop of milk 1 sugar, and a hobnob.

  • Your server owner is now banned from participating on lemmy's Github
  • Quite the ego you have there, I bet you're fun at parties.

    Projects fail when developers alienate their contributors. Grow up and act like an adult.

  • Sonoff Motion Sensors - These are Really Bad
  • All of my wall sockets include usb power outlets, so they're all powered via those, I'm currently working on using an 18650 or 2 to power one as an experiment, but as they're WiFi and need to react in a timely manner putting the microcontroller into sleep mode isn't really an option, meaning the battery life won't be very good. The RADAR module needs a solid 5v as well so I'm not sure it will be practical.

  • Sonoff Motion Sensors - These are Really Bad
  • I build my own using EspHome. I tend to use a D1 Mini as the microcontroller as it has a small footprint and a LD2411S sensor module (very cheap on AliExpress ) I'm lucky enough to have a 3d printer to make my own enclosures.

  • This Old Tony - amateur machinist and pair of disembodied hands, making impeccably edited, brilliantly written content. He's entertaining and funny. I'm not interested in machining but I've watched every single one of his vids.

  • Sonoff Motion Sensors - These are Really Bad
  • I moved all of my movement/presence sensors to mm wave RADAR, they're relatively cheap and much more reliable than PIR.

  • [Daily thread] How are you doing today? 27-10-2023
  • Laid in a hospital bed, post op. Sore but otherwise ok. TIL that they now glue you back together, I have no stitches.

  • Halloween is coming up. What's the plan?
  • Teenager is too cool for it, so the wife and I are hiding upstairs and eating all the sweets.

  • D or d come on
  • Case insensitive file systems are a really stupid idea. Especially if you've ever written code to handle files and then had Windows screw you over.

  • Removal of Mazda Connected Services integration
  • If you're investing in a car, you're either obnoxiously rich or don't know what the word investing means.

  • In the ever-growing pantheon of fancy iced treats, I believe the humble lemonade lolly is still the superior choice.
  • Reminds me of when I tried to make fizzy milk in the Sodastream. Do not do this.
