It does, but it still has the same inabilities as the screen interface has

It isn’t listed anywhere on their homepage or example demos or anywhere listing its capabilities, so i did a web search to find it and I found that it sorta just kinda can do Spotify, but (1.) that isn’t listed anywhere on the home assistant abilities listing pages, which shows just how not ready for the mass market it is, and (2.) takes a ridiculous amount of very techie setup just to get it to work

And also, out of the box can i ask it to:

• tell me the weather?

• set a timer?

• set an alarm?

I don’t see anything on the website that says it can do these things. And even if it can (which doesn’t appear to be the case from their website) then the fact that the website doesn’t say it can do these things is a problem in itself that shows it isn’t ready for the mass market

Just look at the webpage for Alexa vs. Home Assistant and it’s clear that Alexa has a very wide variety of abilities and is designed to be easy to use by anyone, while the home assistant website only shows it doing smart device automation and looks like it’s not for regular folks

I would LOVE to replace my Alexa devices with a local FOSS system, but unfortunately home assistant isn’t close to being able to do that yet

No, home assistant very much is not ready to replace an Alexa device. Home assistant mainly only does automation of smart devices, and as far as i can see from their website it does nothing else. One of the main things people use Alexa for is to play music from services like Spotify, and home assistant doesn’t appear to do that.

Stadia is good from a tech standpoint, the only problem was it was run by google

You could, but that’s obviously not the default way those sentences are to be read

I ditched A for B, and i found a few problems. Obviously the problems are with B.

Penguin is a nickname for Linux, just letting people know.

At a bare minimum it has to be related to a tool or functionality of a tool. So you could stretch the definition to things on a stream, but not to a convention of celebrities

I don’t see how this is clickbait, the title doesn’t have a missing noun or say anything inflammatory

As a mod you’re the one that gets to decide for this community. This is obviously not technology, but whatever, you get to do what you want here

That may be what it says in the sidebar, but this is objectively not technology

I had to look up ricing. From ai:

Ricing Linux refers to the process of customizing the appearance and functionality of a Linux operating system, often by modifying themes, icons, and window managers to create a unique desktop environment.

Oh yeah fluorescent tubes are a awful. They’re not white, they’re sequentially yellow blue yellow blue yellow blue

Interestingly enough crts didn’t seem to cause a problem, my guess is because the pixel phosphors don’t actually flash off, they fade out. But that’s just a guess

I still see it in even the most modern projectors, but I’m also able to see the flicker in phones that use pwm dimming which only a very small percent of people can see, so sucks to be me. My eyes seem to work at a much higher image capture rate than most people, which has no apparent benefits, only problems
