- must not add insane amounts of cost to my power bill
- Has to be upgradable if I need to add upgrades to the hardware in the future
- Has a speaker
- may want to possibly also set up node red but it depends on if I need it or not because I may just be fine with home assistants automation
- has to have wireless connectivity
- mainly setting this up to add automation around my reolink cameras linked through the reolink home hub for example getting a second camera in the same area to start recording when one detects motion or link other smart home security products like sirens or floodlights
What the hell happened to your “th”?
They’re trying to be edgy and use the obsolete thorn character (þ) everywhere you would normally pronounce “th”.
While I usually enjoy rifling through the UTF-8 character set for better/more-appropriate glyphs such as curly quotes instead of straight quotes and the numero glyph instead of the hash/pound symbol, the thorn character ain’t going to be making a comeback.
Edit: fun fact, even the temperature symbols have their own fully-assembled glyphs — Fahrenheit ℉ and Celsius ℃ come fully assembled as a single character glyph that you can use without having to cobble together shit. One of my biggest annoyances is seeing the degree glyph (which a math glyph, and has NOTHING to do with temperature) mashed together with a letter in a wholly inappropriate Frankensteining.
The Unicode Consortium disagrees with you. ℉ and ℃ are included for round-trip convertibility, they are compatibility characters. That doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to use them, but the decomposition of ℉ is ° + F, which does mean they are equivalent and that it is correct to use ° for both angles and temperatures.
It’s like how hyphen-minus has two very different uses but is one character.
This is the sort of nerdery I’m here for! Pray tell, how would you go about using those temperature glyphs with a phone keyboard?
Since a long press on any key doesn’t bring any of those up, my method involved going to the text replacement section of the system settings, and doing a replacement entry. I copy the glyph from wherever I find it on the Internet and assign a unique string (the “shortcut”) to have iOS insert it. I’ve used a reliable pattern, such as (degc) (yes, including the brackets) for ℃. You need to choose a string that you will never otherwise use, otherwise you’ll be fighting against the text replacement.
Using this method I’ve added all sorts of special characters like fractions ¼ ⅙ ⅛ mathematical symbols ± « ≈ ≠ and even text emoji ಠ_ಠ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and other random symbols № ® ™.
Fun fact: if you have an AppleID-linked Mac, this will all sync over, letting you use these shortcuts on the Mac as well.
He’s doing it in an attempt to “sabotage” AI training.
It’s also a useful flag to indicate that he doesn’t understand how AIs are trained.
Yeah, it’s akin to those anti-AI Creative Commons licenses that people link in their comments. If you think an AI is going to give a shit about a comment saying “pwetty pwease don’t use me for twaining” you have fundamentally misunderstood the scope of AI training.
