Recently I was trying to find a new #anime to #watch ... I was looking for something as #smart as #steinsgate and can simply not find it. I did come up with a #concept for one based on #ai some time ago, but obviously lack the #talent , #funds and #time to see such a #project through. I also imagine that it takes the #fun out of #watching it if you #created it. On the plus side, there seem to be some cool #anime #series releasing soon...
Very cool #palmos #pda #smart #watch from 2003: https://lunduke.substack.com/p/the-palmo.. The #specifications are pretty #similar to the #espresiff #esp 32!
Turns out that the 4th #covid #booster #vaccine #shot really doesn't seem to be working at all: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/large.. I really #suspect that the #immunesystem is just too #smart to be repeatedly #tricked by the same #vaccine ...
I've actually run into this #research a few times... Turns out that these #portia #spiders are pretty #smart https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/10/..
Looks like there could be a #competitor to #pine 's #pinetime https://hackaday.com/2021/10/05/hackable.. Seems like this tiny #smart #watch runs on #js - seems like a nice little #opensource #device ! Double the #price of a #pinetime though: https://hackaday.com/2021/10/05/hackable..
I saw some #lenovo #smart #alarm #clock in the #shop the other day and I was pretty #impressed - for just $70 or so you got this very powerful smart #device ... Only problem is, they are always #spying on you: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/09/alexa-l.. For this reason, I can definitely see the want for a #linux #opensource #decentralized version of this kind of smart #home device.
I'm actually jealous of #xiamomi 's #smart #glass https://blog.mi.com/en/2021/09/14/xiaomi.. Apparently it's just a #concept #demo though, but it's exactly what I'm looking for. Something like this for $100 would be an absolute steal.
I hate #smart #tvs - but this is a great win for #samsung who has been able to #disable #stolen TVs in #southafrica #johannesburg https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-supp.. But to all others out there - this is exactly why we need non-smart TVs...
Honestly I'm surprised the #nsa doesn't just give people #lockeddown #smart #phones in the first place: https://media.defense.gov/2020/Jul/28/20.. You *cannot* trust humans to not make mistakes. It would be better to have a text/voice only #encrypted device with limited functionality. #software #updates could be handled in person with #id #verification - but of course they will never do this as politicians would get upset.
