How do ppl think of immich Vs photoprism? I dislike photoprism because every action takes 10 seconds

I've wondered if they don't know the data. They can perfectly read the convo on your device, assign a category what you're talking about and keeping that category. They don't store, read, know the conversation, they only 'analyze' it. F.e. if you talk about planes they may assign a category travel and sell your profile to holiday companies?

I don't know about this, I'm just thinking that's how I'd do it if I ran an evil corp.

Just wondering why noone advices to use your NAS for this? Very basic specs but it's on 24/7 anyway and it has disk capacity?

It's not really firmware, its a software solution that blocks it from phoning home. It still behaves the same.

I don't know about the knx but I believe it comes with a lot of hardware. So I'd be surprised if they didn't have it.

I can't get decent voice recognition to work. So no wakeword until I can get a match in the first 3 tries of talking.

I'm not an expert, but if I look around, I see lots of DIYers who use ZigBee and things like that. But professionals use for example KNX. As far as I know KNX is all local, wired and so on; but a multitude more expensive. I guess there are other protocols.

So if money isn't an issue and I had a new home, I would research KNX first, and eventually add some ZigBee gear.

Also, go for the basics: smart heating, smart switches and smart outlets. That allows the best automations. Maybe add some wires to your doors for openclose detection, power for smart blinds and so on.

Vaultwarden selfhosted is free and if you are capable of creating public facing containers, you can set this up easily.

That's a simplistic take. There's a saying that goes something like if you don't read up, the Jewish are within their rights. If you read a bit, the Muslims are within their rights. If you study the issue you have no idea anymore.

I believe at this point everything in the media is a spin on the truth; for both sides.

How I see it, is that the ones with the money and technology have a better probability to stop the cycle. The ones with their backs against the wall have little options. Violence seldom leads to less violence.

Can you give me the list so I know what communities to avoid?

 

I'm looking into purchasing a steamdeck for my kids. Ican I attach my 2 old Xbox controllers to it, so the kids can play together?

Most multiplayer articles talk about playing with remote players.

Also, should I go for a more expensive version? It seems like I can swap the SSD myself.

Hi all My kid will get a gaming pc soon. I can't swallow the cost of a whole setup at the moment. I'm thinking of getting a good motherboard with a decent second hand graphics card (a colleague I trust can find me one). And over time upgrade where needed. For monitor I would be using my TV.

Is this a smart idea? We'd have a wireless mouse/keyboard and some table thing to game from the couch.

At the moment my kid is into Roblox and Minecraft, but I assume once his pc can run more; he'll play 'real' games. We are also looking to learn to program (scratch/python). Would that work on a TV?

The TV is an older model (10 years old).

Edit; Thanks everyone for the ideas and advice. We'll try the TV first. And will also look into a steamdeck. It's nice to get such positive feedback from everyone!
