To measure your heart rate, simply place your finger on the rear-facing camera lens.

thats pretty cool

there used to be these type of apps for years with finger and heart rate but they were very likely fake

Hi all, looking for some advice. I'd like a sensor to show the current value of my crypto coins. None of the one's I've tried seem to work. Any suggestions? Iv'e tried blockchain, sochain, I get empty values or errors

basically I need a second PC for windows stuff

Yeah, scalpers suck. But it's easy to blame them instead of the real problem... manufacturers need to create more supply.

I was told "Additionally, please don't comment on commits. Those are not trackable. If you have an issue, raise one. If you have a question use the Community Forum or Discord." If you are not suppose to comment on commits, why does it allow it on github? Again, I'm still learning and my comment was about in information missing when the change was implemented.

Me too. I saw and bought it long time ago. It became actually more expensive as soon as it became popular as death-star.

And what GitHub allow is irrelevant. They offer a toolset... not every dev team will use every tool.

they have these things called rotary subwoofers now

burnt cave

they can do 120db down to 1hz

last cedar
#

oh shit, that sounds powerful

burnt cave
#

they're trash above like 40hz though so you still need regular subs

#

but instead of a cone

#

you have a fan with a wall in the room being a baffle

#

to create sort of infinite baffle setup

#

most people use the attic

#

the fan spins at a fixed rpm

#

and you oscillate the blade angle to make pressure

#

so if you just hold it at an angle you can pressurize the room

#

and basically play 0hz sound lol

#

or really any frequency up to 40ish

#

much higher and you start getting fluttering sounds

#

Adding a pump is a quick and easy thing to do but it's also one more failure point. To some degree, if the heat source is on the bottom, it's like the difference between an oven and a convection oven, assuming you are cooking in a covered dutch oven

#

Pumps were popularized around the time "sous vide sticks" started to become affordable like the anova one and the sansaire.

That said a pump helps a LOT if your vessel is pretty full and the food is cold, which would prevent the top from cooking properly at the beginning otherwise

G5 ๐Ÿคข

#

anything below G6 is basically a paperweight tbh

deft pewter
#

You're basically a paperweight tbh

clear ferry
#

and tbh anything below gen8 should be considered ancient ๐Ÿคฃ

#

The nice thing about ancient stuff is that it's free. And makes a more fun electric heater ๐Ÿ™‚

clear ferry
#

hehe, well, free isn't necessarily good, for $100 you can get a g6-g7 probably these days

#

I think I've even seenGen8s for $150

deft pewter
#

Or just convince atx to be your sugar daddy. He'll give you servers.

I wonder what that makes the Sun SPARCstation 10/412 that sits next to it.. Hmm... Primordial? ๐Ÿ™‚

Problem is the E3 xeons are too efficient, don't produce any heat ๐Ÿ˜‚

midnight adder
#

((It's been running 24/7 since around 1995. I don't have the heart to power it off even though it's not really doing anything useful these days). But.. dual 40MHz CPUs! Wroom!

clear ferry
#

Sun.... that is a name I haven't touched in... atleast 5 years

#

SPARC ones... even longer, probably 2008

#

problem with powering it off is probably the vrms are dried up and it will never boot again if you do

#

atleast if you remove power

midnight adder
#

Yeah, probably. Or the 18GB SCSI disk might not spin up again.

clear ferry
#

that I seldom see issues with ๐Ÿคฃ

#

spinning rust is unkillable mostly

#

atleast from that era

midnight adder
#

(Remembers the 9G Micropolis 5.25" full-height drives. Hmm.. "Mostly" ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Ah well... Thinking about doing a new attempt at upgrading to 2021.2.1. Last attempt was... interresting. Something went partly wrong so I could change the state of the lamps/outlets, but HASS never received the change information so the GUI went totally out of sync after a little while). Interesting.

Run Home Assistant on it ... not a hope in hell

analog salmon

clever mortar

An iPad is nothing like a Pi

You can run your smart home from a Pi

analog salmon
#

lol

#

so what is a good alt for ipad?

clever mortar
#

To do what?

analog salmon
#

pee.

clever mortar
#

You can't run any smart home from one. You can use it as a pretty display if that suits you

analog salmon
#

smart home well no duh

last dirge
#

use specific terms

clever mortar
#

And actually explain your goal ๐Ÿ˜‰

analog salmon
#

so no smart home can be on ipad

#

clever mortar
#

Not run from no

analog salmon
#

clever mortar
#

Sure, if your "smart home" is hosted elsewhere

analog salmon
#

clever mortar
#

And by that we clearly mean Home Assistant

#

PC is a general descriptor for personal computer

#

Yes

analog salmon
#

analog salmon
#

clever mortar
#

Do you even know what Home Assistant is?

clever mortar
#

clever mortar
