Yeah I don't agree with that, love mine! Paired with an LLM it's awesome.

I'm beyond disgusted at this point.

If you get *outraged* when clergy asks a supposed Christian to do something Jesus asked of them, but not outraged when other clergy sexually assault children, maybe you are just not a good personβ€”and only pretending to follow Jesus.

Thanks just ordered one! Sick of my Galaxy Ultra paired with my Pixel, hoping this is a better experience.

Every single American who voted for Donald Trump needs to watch this.

Repost this if you see the difference.

Nice! I use Unifi cameras and love them, and I've heard good things about Reolink as well.

Home Assistant doesn't do detection or recording. For that you'll want Frigate, which can then integrate into Home Assistant.

In 1990 my childhood doctor explained to me that autism was just a difference in neurotype. Just a difference! Stop trying to sell it as a tragedy! I’m going to keep repeating myself until people start listening πŸ“’

Yeah not for me, I have a couple high powered proxmox hosts with capacity to spare for workloads like that.

I also have a spare m1 max MacBook pro that some one said will run ollama nicely, did some quick tests and it's pretty fast so think it just found its new purpose.

Set up some Inovelli Blue Zigbee light switches in one of the kids rooms. Typical use case of turning off the lights on a timer. But with these having multi tap actions, I scored some major spouse approval points by setting up an automation that disabled the off timer on a double tap.

Ugh, or not. It only has 8 GB of RAM so kinda useless for LLMs.

Same. I'd settle for ollama running on it, using the npus, and integrating that into HA.

Sounds like the first thing he's said I could actually support.

Wait till next week (19th) when Home Assistant announces their own voice hardware.

Tile would work or if you want to keep the airtag, if you have a mac, you can use this to push that data into Home Assistant. www.martinpham.com/findmysync/

Why is this news and what does it have to do with anything? So confused by the media in this country.
