I can agree with this: All the hype around KCD:2 led me to buying/playing KCD:1

Kinda crazy, because W7 didn’t support first gen Ryzen either!

That’s the main reason I haven’t bothered upgrading mine any more.
100mbits with 3ms latency is pretty rocking.

Let’s just hope that it doesn’t end up like Snowpiercer!

So far, they’ve made the chocolate shit, made the filling shit, and shrunk the carton size (6 to 5).

The price doesn’t matter any more, I’m sure as shit not buying them.

Reminds me of the time I didn’t realise that my underfloor heating had week/weekend heat settings, and woke up to a 24 degree basement.

Helpfully, because bitcoin gets all the traderbro attention, monero has actually ended up being (relatively) stable because it has more of a purpose.

Or from the sounds of it, doing things more efficiently.
Fewer cycles required, less hardware required.

Maybe this was an inevitability, if you cut off access to the fast hardware, you create a natural advantage for more efficient systems.

Very nice! I’ll have to take a look at this.

So far, I’ve only done some things with variable heating targets, boosting if one room falls behind, and minor adjustments on presence detection.

I am a creator!

The UK trots out legislation like this every few years.
So far, it’s not gone through.
However, to paraphrase a parasomething, “You have to defeat the proposal every time, we just have to make it law once”

What’s the pricing like on these normally?

It does look a lot more solid, and less nickable!

A very quick glance at the internet put it around £700 for their home one, a fair chunk more than the Reolink one (£70 ish when I last looked).

You’d probably get better coding advice in the comments.

Maybe the best way to think about it is not dark, but the absence of more light.
On a DMD projector, we use tiny micromirrors for each pixel which flash thousands of times per frame of video.
The flash/no-flash ratio decides how much light makes it out of the projector. This gives us over a thousand light levels per colour channel, from near dark, to full light.
When the mirrors are not in position, the light output is very low. (1/1000th of the full output, on a projector with a static 1000:1 contrast ratio)

The screen is designed to reflect light well, which means in a non-perfect room, it will have a light floor of the reflected ambient light, plus whatever still makes it through the projector (as Cygnus mentioned, room treatment).

If you do treat a room well enough that the small amount of light that makes it through the projector at all-off is a problem, you can do things like fitting an ND filter to the lens (reducing the full light output, while also reducing the minimum).
Or you can use the dynamic iris fitted to some projectors (which reduces the amount of light being put out based on the overall scene illumination, similar to the way LCD TVs lower the backlight level to “reach” contrast ratios of 100000:1).

The biggest one was probably a combo of having an anemometer, and heat/humidity sensors in each room.

When it’s cold outside, the top floor of the house (loft conversion) loses more heat. But it loses significantly more heat when it’s cold, and the wind is blowing parallel to the floor joists.

I realised that because they’re not perfectly sealed (old house), enough air pressure means that the floor void can easily hit external temperatures, meaning the rooms have cold on twice as many sides.

I will (eventually) get some suitable insulation in them to stop this.

I love having a projector in the living room.
I won’t lie, it gets used far less than I’d like.
But it cost me almost nothing, and it’s just fun to have a massive wall of video.

Well done!

I too love the fact that HASS is a common platform for everything.
It makes duct taping lots of different devices together into automation so much easier.

AFAIK, LG still do not require internet access on first startup.
At least on their medium/high end lines (C and G series).
This was a hard requirement for me. Mine has never been on the internet.
