Okay, you may want to reread the thread, I'm not OP. I'm not the "you" you think I am. Also, some people have a lot of wifi connected devices, including stuff like light bulbs. (Again, not me.)

This is also my question, but I suppose the answer could be that we don't trust LG to actually forget the wifi password (and not use it surreptitiously later). You could also change the wifi info, but that might mean changing a whole l

Just this morning I used OpenSCAD for the first time. I got Gemini (just the chatbot, no harness or MCP) to help me design a water-bowl holder for our senior dog (she kept knocking it over). It was probably an easy model to get right, since

The XKCD comic just said hit them, not necessarily in the head. Personally, I know I wouldn't last ten seconds with a pair of broken kneecaps.

Okay. For what it's worth, vim tells you that you can type :help to get help every time you start it up. It would take a while until you got to the section about the file tree, though.

> A new Houthi slogan appeared after the group's re-designation as a terrorist organisation: "America is the mother of terrorism" set on a red background. Well, they're not wrong.

Looking into it more, it seems like the actual consumption is close to 1W per module, for an approximately 1:7.5 ratio. Regular fans are still likely more efficient, but the other advantages of the "AirJet" make it interesting.

Yes, people generally solve easier problems before tackling the harder ones. The tools that you develop to solve the easy ones help you solve the next. Sometimes the climb is like a mountain, but sometimes it's like dominos.

It doesn't seem like you're familiar with how mathematical research is done. Taking 6 weeks between a major breakthrough on a huge proof, and making your proof public, is not unusual. It takes a lot of time to finish a proof and f

Matt "photomatt" Mullenweg is fundamentally incapable of not crashing out. It's very predictable for anyone at all familiar with the WPEngine saga, or slightly earlier, his personal beef with Tumblr user predstrogen (which in

They added real multiplayer several years ago. If you go to the same system another player is in, they'll be there. (As well as everything anybody has ever built there).
