That's assuming IF there ever was a push to build things like this to help homeless they WOULDNT find a way to make it look as inhumane as possible.

What about a WiFi connected smart outlet? It can be voice controlled or controlled from a phone or turned on at the outlet. You can set just a "run timer" (from the time I turn it on, run 2.5 hours) without it repeating.

AND if you need to make sure it's off at any point, just check your phone.

TP Link Kasa outlets can run for 23 hours and 59 minutes at a time.

All good here. Been running it for a few hours. The weirdest thing is the UI stuff that has and hasn't been changed.

How the hell do I answer "Are you over the age of 18?" In a complete sentence that gives more information than just "Yes"

Replying to this before OP asks.

Usenet is distributed across hundreds (thousands maybe?) of servers. It's centralized in that setting up your own server and getting the same access as joining an existing Usenet server is going to be very difficult (and with Usenet being used for privacy more and more, could be impossible due to admins not trusting a random new person), but in theory one could.

If you like off the wall teenage drama shows, it's..... something. It is by no means must watch tv though lol

The TV show based on the Archie comics started out.... weird, but you could see they were getting things from the comics. Towards the end..... there were wizards and time travel and sacrifices and cults.

Is this Riverdale? Where's the sex? And the wizards? And the human sacrifices?

I want the Start Menu on my printers touch screen.

[–] Clusterfck@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 month ago

lol, I have 3 computers and each one is less than 2 years old.

Don't defend the megacorp with a history of shitty software. It's just a bad look, dude.

So every time I click the start menu and there's a noticeable lag before the menu comes up isn't just me overreacting?

Tablets aren't a baby sitter.

But denying your kids access to them until a certain age and then turning them loose and wishing them good luck is harming them so much more.

My example I always go back to is schools and banning cell phones. My school had an outright ban. You walk into school, you shut the phone off and put it in your locker. Which at its face, kind of makes sense. But then I went to college and nobody cared about my phone. I spent my first semester on my phone near constantly. I had to take weeks to teach myself that, while having my phone is nice, I still need to pay attention in class.

Technology exists to better our lives and outright denying children from learning HOW to use it properly is going to be to their detriment.
