The word you’re searching for is indeed “chevaline,” and I will absolutely buy one if it doesn’t cost a truly insane amount of money.

These also have an entire computer running Tizen behind the screen in the door, which generates waste heat and dumps it… into your refrigerator. Genius!

Don’t worry, in the realm of major appliances the majority of what these bozos are calling “AI” actually isn’t. They’re just using it as a buzzword because they think it’s popular.

LG, selling a washing machine two years ago: “It has weight sensors to determine the load size.”

LG, selling the same damn washing machine today: “With exclusive LG® AI DD™ Technology!!!”

(I am not making this up.)

When Angelo Moriondo invented what ultimately became the espresso machine, he didn’t do it to make coffee fancier, or better, or more exclusive, or more pure. He did it specifically to make coffee faster. Absolutely every other aspect of an espresso shot is a total afterthought.

Remember that the next time some pretentious dingus in a turtleneck is prattling at you about goddamn beans.

(And while we’re at it, nobody in Italy used a tomato for anything until, near as we can determine, the 1540s. Tomatoes came from the new world; they didn’t exist in Europe until they were brought back there. Anyone claiming that their modern tomato based Italian cookery is proud tradition dating back to antiquity is thus likewise full of it.)

Yes. And also while we’re at it, just remember who has been whispering in Trump’s ear all the goddamn time.

Nobody cares about mining anything in Greenland. Nobody actually cares about any resource in Greenland, or even the people in Greenland. Not strategically, anyway, before anyone gets it twisted. Rare earths, fine, whatever, that’s just a marginal distraction.

Greenland is the fence post on one side of the gate which allows NATO to control Russia’s potential naval passage into the Atlantic. At present Russia functionally cannot project any naval force to western Europe without literally going the long way around, all the way around Asia and Africa and past the tip of Cape Town, etc. Not at all coincidentally, the vestiges of the Cold War are why the US has always been so keen to maintain a military presence on Greenland in the first place.

With Greenland out of the picture and the US theoretically also on Russia’s side rather than NATO, Putin stands a much greater chance of being able to get his warships into the Atlantic by hugging the coast of Greenland and then subsequently threaten the rest of Europe.

And, we have a winner.

Said investment in communities also needs to involve a significant improvement to our education system.

Reinforce your doorframes and window frames, preferably with steel. The dinky pine wood frames of residential doors and windows are hilariously easy to kick in, and the thickest steel door and the meanest window bars in the world won’t mean much when an attacker can simply kick them out of the frame with a minimum of effort.

You will probably find that doing this is in fact deemed illegal by at least one entity in your local hierarchy of state/county/municipality. I’ll give everyone three guesses as to why.

Just like everything on Amazon. Look, if you buy a $20 indoor toy that’s what you get. But trying to say that it’s “hard” to buy a competent enough drone for a couple of hundred bucks because they’re banned is 100% false. There are perfectly cromulent options handily available right there on that page. Hell, the DJI mini 3 is the second search result.

So? They don’t need to carry ordnance or provide professional level cinematography results. They just need to have a camera that sends video back to the operator without line of sight so you can keep tabs on somebody from a few blocks away.

I just checked; the updated version of the drone that I own is readily available on Amazon and is manufactured by Xiaomi of all people (FIMI). If it’s banned, they’re not doing a very good job at it. Mine is quite capable of transmitting clean video back to you from over a mile away.

I don’t know about Gmail’s own spellcheck since my browser does it natively. However, disabling Gemini and smart features in Gmail absolutely does not (yet) stop spam filtering from working.

Methinks not.

1. What was covered up with the smudge, and
2. y u no do better job?

My viewership numbers, if upvotes are to be believed, rarely exceed double digits. For a million bucks, I wouldn’t be too broken up about it.

Just in case anyone important is listening.

I absolutely would, and then I’d create a parallel community to my old one right next to it and keep on as normal. That’ll be $1,000,000, please…

I imagine that could buy plenty of server hardware for your own damn Lemmy instance, even at today’s RAM prices.

Given your requirements of no cloud, no SaaS, and running in Linux you have already arrived at the correct two choices, depending on what you’re trying to model.

I am a diehard FreeCAD user, and I would say just stick with it until you are able to build what you’re trying to build. Via the expedient of Noodling Around With It I’m now proficient enough to do everything I personally want to do with FreeCAD, i.e. using its part design tools and studiously avoiding all of the other workbenches I have no use case for.

Turn something this into a moderately off road capable adventure bike and I’m sold. The BMW and KTM guys will absolutely pay $20,000 for it, albeit maybe not $37,000.

My KLR has about 200 miles of range per fill, if you’re even the slightest bit careful with it, which is necessary for excursions out into the bush where there are neither gas stations nor charging points.

On my site I have long since routed requests from Amazon associated IP blocks directly to the wood chipper, so it’s nice to see that I was vindicated in doing so. Their request patterns did indeed look pretty scrapey and I was wondering why.
