nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi2·1 month agoYeah, the Pi moving to full computer thing is weird because the SD card is still a massive bottleneck on normal day-to-day usage.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi2·1 month agoWill you use a separate flight controller chip or try to do it all on board?
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi1·1 month agoIt’s been a while but I remember Orange Pi having terrible support? I haven’t heard of the others.
Whereas the RPi has the amazing compute module if you need it too.
Sometimes paying more is better.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which communities are good for finding some people to talk to whether its out of boredom, loneliness, or a need to vent?1·1 month agoDiscord. I mostly post in an Ultima 7 modding community and helped out a bit but we also just talk about video games and stuff.
It’s hard to find the smaller servers where you can actually have a decent discussion though, just like IRC back in the day.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi4·1 month agoWhat are the better options?
Pis have great software support so for GPIO experimentation it’s so useful.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?7·1 month agoOcarina of Time - it was mindblowing to have the open world at the time (I didn’t play Ultima 7 until much later) and the music is incredible.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•What are some good cooperative shooters? Hidden gems?English3·2 months agoRainbow Six Vegas and Splinter Cell Blacklist and Chaos Theory were awesome for this - especially for 2 people.
If you have 4 then SWAT 4, Ready Or Not, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, ARMA 3.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•AI is rotting your brain and making you stupidEnglish610·2 months agoHard disagree, it lets me achieve more and avoid procrastination. It can help you not get caught up on small errors, and be like a junior colleague given you complete attention when you ask for different proposals, etc.

nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•what was the last game you played in 2024?English12·7 months agoSlay The Spire - finally beat the heart.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Questions about the safety of Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving' system are growingEnglish38·11 months agoAt least they have it. It’s incredible to see videos of the FSD on highways, and Waymo robot taxis in the USA.
I wish we had technology in Europe.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Existing California solar customers may get blindsided with net metering cutsEnglish6·11 months agoYeah, this is exactly the point of the “problem” OP complains about. Charge people for overproduction, so they’re encouraged to buy a home battery and contribute in the night.
Eventually home batteries will become a standard part of such installations.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Existing California solar customers may get blindsided with net metering cutsEnglish92·11 months agoBecause they have to give that energy away in order to keep the grid stable.
Hopefully better battery storage will make this better in the future.
The aim with it is to naturally discourage people from overproducing in such overproduction times - e.g. maybe you disable your solar panels when you predict it will happen, lessening the sudden impact on the grid.
FWIW you could buy a high capacity home battery already to eliminate it yourself (charge the battery in those times), but they’re still expensive.
AV1 is already almost like that though.
HEVC is so good at compression though!
It sucks about all the patent bullshit though, same thing blocking HDMI 2.1 adoption too.
nivenkos@lemmy.mlto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Subscription fatigue: when will enough be enough?English1114·11 months agoMost of them are cheap though. Like Spotify at ~$10 is nothing, you can barely get a beer for that in the city these days. That’s far cheaper than you used to pay for CDs!
Netflix really took the piss though - with the charging for no ads, HD and multiple screens. Then it gets to like $30 a month which just isn’t worth it with the diminishing library, so I cancelled that and use Amazon Prime Video for now as it’s still cheap in my country (and has no ads for now).
Yeah, had a drug dealer burgle our apartment (just an opportunistic thing, spare keys had been left outside by a friend who was moving). Fortunately no-one was in, but it sucked to have to deal with all the damage and security.
We eventually tracked them down when they sold some stuff though and they were actually arrested and we got a few things back.
It was awesome the police actually raided them. Unfortunately the new government released them as prisoners with “non-violent” offences.

Tears of the Kingdom is one of the best games ever made, shame they keep it exclusive though.
