  • Passive RFIDs can now stream telemetry data from sensors

    Jump

  • Having passive sensors for smart home use would save me lot of time and money changing batteries. Interesting to see where this goes.

  • LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market

    Jump

  • For a lot of people most of their content isn’t even 1080p. Plenty of people watching DVDs and many TV channels only broadcast in SD.

    Display technology has long outpaced content delivery.

  • The most bizarre tech announced so far at CES 2026

    Jump

  • In a lot of cases “AI” is slapped on as marketing buzzword for anything with even a simple algorithm controlling it.

    We got a new “AI” washing machine last month. As far as I can tell it the same as last years model just with some of the auto settings renamed to something AI.

  • Thieves are starting to steal RAM now that it's as expensive as gold — a memory kit disappears in the snail mail at four in the morning with a bogus signature

    Jump

  • I remember there being a spate of robberies targeting memory chips in the 90s when prices were high then.

    History repeating itself again I guess.

  • Cams, anyone?

    Jump

  • UniFi Protect now has limited ONVIF support allowing various 3rd party cameras to work with Protect.

    UniFi cameras can have RTSP enabled also, but it requires UniFi Protect to enable the setting.

  • Apparently Homebox allows setting third-party label rendering endpoint through an HBOX_LABEL_MAKER_LABEL_SERVICE_URL env var

    Jump

  • What model of label printer is that?

  • The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You

    Jump

  • Oh look, yet another reason to use an ad blocker.

  • Meta’s Ray-Ban Display Glasses And The New Glassholes

    Jump

  • An open source smart glasses platform would be a much better direction.

    But that only provides security assurances for the wearer of the glasses. Anyone else interacting with them doesn’t know how they are configured, and what is being recorded and/or shared.

  • Meta’s Ray-Ban Display Glasses And The New Glassholes

    Jump

  • The core technology is impressive, and has legitimate use cases.

    But that doesn’t outweigh the enormous privacy concerns these devices raise. They aren’t being angled as an accessory for specific activities, but as everyday wearables. If smart glasses like these became common they would be unavoidable, creating leave of intrusion that’s concerning even without Meta being involved.

  • England Trials Smartphone Rail Payment System with Real-Time Phone Location Tracking

    Jump

  • Yup, the UK once again creating a needlessly convoluted and harmful solution to an already solved problem.

    I would laugh if I didn’t live here.

  • UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost

    Jump

  • The figures are the averages for the full trial period.

    So it’s possible they were making more queries at the start of the trial, but then mostly stopped when if they found using Copilot was more a hindrance than a help.

  • mkdocs for recipe catalogue

    Jump

  • So far I just keep recipes in whatever I’m using for notes.

    Some of these dedicated programs look interesting though. Thinking about it, it would be handy to have some dedicated cooking features, like being able to search for recipes by ingredients.

  • 3D Printing A Modular Guitar Means It Can Look Like Whatever You Want

    Jump

  • The owner’s phone:

  • Removed

    3 1/4 vintage floppy cameras.

    Jump

  • These Mavicas could become popular again now as retro tech. There’s a lo-fi aesthetic growing in photo and video that’s all about compression artefacts and old image sensors. Physical media and its inconveniences is also having a moment as a novelty and maybe even a broader movement.

  • Pizza

    Jump

  • What kind of person leaves the crust? Pizza ain’t pizza without the crust.

    Jump

  • There are 4 bay units that would fit on a 10” inch shelf. I’ve seen some DIY projects too.

    Using SFF/mini PCs is also popular, there are models that can take multiple SATA/NVMe drives

  • Deleted

    Jump

  • There are few if any 10” UPS units available anyway so weight is less of a worry. It’s one of the biggest weaknesses of the 10” system currently.

  • An Alarming Number of Gen Z Ai Users Think It's Conscious

    Jump

  • In the general population it does. Most people are not using an academic definition of AI, they are using a definition formed from popular science fiction.

  • What are some of the craziest censorship instances on TV shows you have seen?

    Jump

  • But Pokemon was a show about a fantasy world of made up animals with magic powers. 4Kids felt kids would be able to grasp that, but not rice balls.

    Kids could accept a weird yellow mouse that could shoot lightning bolts, they would have accepted some weird food they hadn't heard of either.
