Seconded.

Shit dude, this is a public instance! Think of your family! 😳

It’s only a matter of time before 6 Flags is just 1000 AIs on rollercoasters.

We have a Samsung “smart” TV, hooked up to an AppleTV box. The TV’s original remote is in a drawer somewhere, forever unused.

I have the apps that I need, the tiny Siri Remote turns on the TV and handles volume, and, apart from the aggressively, insanely, mind-blowingly horrible on-screen “keyboard” / text input (we don’t have Apple phones we can use to mitigate this, sadly. Also, what the fucking fuck, Apple?!) we’re happy. For now. I trust Apple to make the experience incrementally worse as a fact of life.

Not perfect, but leagues better than dealing with Samsung’s interface.

I spy a research rabbit hole in my near future … 🐰

Edit: ESPHome is a system to control your microcontrollers by simple yet powerful configuration files and control them remotely through Home Automation systems.

I mean, fuck Apple, but …

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Still, though — fuck Apple.

Background on the Vice stuff for those interested 👍

Never heard of Meshtastic before, quite the rabbit hole, and sounds super awesome!

Had a look at your other thread (not a member there so seems I can’t comment, or maybe it’s just my client), and trying to understand what you guys are using these for.

Official site says “Hiking safety GPS”, something to that effect, but all this talk of “local topics” has me confused. What’s your use-case?
