Maybe not a breakthrough compared to some of the other comments but home assistant got local voice control this year. For the price of a raspberry pi and a 13 dollar microphone you can have a completely local home automation system controlled by your voice. You can even hook it up to a LLM like chat gpt if you want via a different phrase to do some fun party tricks

Also using plugins like camelcamelcamel can help with this. Shows you a graph of history for prices

What a cluster. How daft is the board to do something like this. I mean fire the guy if he deserves it but this is absurd

Hot take. Any day before December 1st is too early.

I mean the guy was easily making gobs of money. I don't think he needs anymore money. Did he make less than others? Maybe. But he wasn't at the bread bank looking for handouts.

I disagree. It compiles answers in a nice easy place with no ads. Change an int to a string using c# and 9 times out of 10 I'm in and out. I can feed it my code and it corrects it. Is it perfect? Nope but it beats being berated by experts

Woa woa. They caused him emotional damage. He deserves more money /s

Uhh. Have you seen men in black? /s

haha. Part of the reason I like Linus is he does impractical expensive things but still votes for competition and knows what the average Joe/Jane budget is. The alternative video of the cheapest laptop is a good show that he can see both sides.

It's not about visiting a forum post I made in 2007. It's about visiting a forum post about an obscure issue that someone solved in 2007.

I see this as a big issue for content going forward. I get that reddit is one single point of failure but I wonder how you can keep knowledge in a static state when most instances lose money and it's a hobby. What happens when the owner grows tired.

Counter point. I would wager people are more productive scrolling 5 minutes through a Facebook post then taking a 30 minute coffee break talking to various coworkers. I would hate this. Also if you're a developer how would you research something? No stack overflow? No access to forums to solve particular problems? Not sure this is sustainable.
