  • If I was bleeding out in the street, and you approached me to help in a Doctor Who shirt, I would pretend I'd already died.

  • That's a great one! Mine was "fuck a duck! Fuck ten ducks, actually." My friends never let me live that one down.

  • Yeah, finding out they buy their pets from breeders would be a huge turnoff. Plenty of shelter cats that are just as ugly and need a home.

  • I mean... No? Maybe? Certainly not aliens as in biologically evolved creatures from another planet are involved, what is so hard to understand about that? Alien as in something completely foreign and unrecognizable to the human brain, sure.

  • The ugly history behind Trump’s birthright citizenship case in the Supreme Court | The peculiar legal argument behind Trump’s attack on citizenship was invented by 19th-century anti-Chinese racists.

  • It would be great if the anchor baby in chief invalidated his own citizenship and was no longer qualified constitutionally to be president. I mean it wouldn't change anything but it would be something to add to his list of disqualifiers.

  • For me personally, atheism is saying 'there is nothing more to the universe or reality, what you see is what you get' which is extremely pretentious. Agnosticism is admitting to the possibility that there's something going on here, but we don't know and would likely be incapable of understanding what it is.

  • Great, so you're already halfway there! You may be right on the temp sensor and the gas detector would probably be spotty too. I was thinking you could glue some magnets to the knobs and use a hall effects sensor nearby to map their position, but that would take some tinkering and I personally haven't done anything like that.

    But you mentioned you already have a camera pointed at it, you could add Frigate to Home Assistant and use object detection to notify you about events such as 'knob turned' or 'panel glowing' for flame detection or even just have it compare snapshots every x minutes and notify you of any change at all. Then you still always have the camera for visual backup as well.

  • Definitely don't have to take anything apart. If you can't use a smart plug on the outlet, A zigbee temperature sensor mounted above or near the range would do the trick. There's also methane/gas detectors.If you've never used Home Assistant, it's open source and completely local, and super easy to get going. You can automate nearly everything, so getting phone notifications or persistent temp reminders would be a breeze. Let me know if you have questions about that part. I'm by no means an expert, but I've been slowly automating everything in my house and it's been great.

  • Maybe someone mentioned this, but I'm sure there's a million ways to tackle this task through Home Assistant and a cheap sensor. That way you get passive notifications instead of having to actively check.

  • They would never admit to the play store malware problem.

  • I don't agree that tech companies need to put up walled gardens to protect people from themselves, but 'what scams' is insanely disingenuous. Obviously the scams where people, usually elderly, are walked through the process of enabling third party apps so the scammer, posing as a bank or other trusted institution, can then install malicious apps. If you've really never heard of that then I think you need to step outside of your bubble a bit more.

  • One day wait period to enable installing third party apps. Afterwards no extra wait time or verification.

  • Headline is a little misleading. There is a one day waiting period when you enable installing third party applications. After that you can install them indefinitely. It's to stop active scams. I agree it's BS, but it's a lot less BS than I was expecting and what the headline/comments are making it out to be.

  • How it feels watching Star Trek for the first time

  • The one that was most shocking to me was the 'cement golashes' line from Brand New's Luca, lifted straight from Scotty's mouth in the episode with the 1930's mobster planet.

  • The "unhackable" Xbox One has been hacked — and Microsoft can’t patch it

    Jump

  • I feel like allowing users to access dev mode played a large part in this as well. Without the option surely it would have been cracked sooner.Which is a great lesson in and of itself for tech companies willing to listen.

  • I thought it was only the release version of the console that was vulnerable. Was there a breakthrough in the last two days?
