If I broke into your home, why TF would I carefully take apart your robot vacuum in order to copy your wifi credentials‽

Also, WTF other "secrets" are you storing on your robot vacuum‽

This is not a realistic attack scenario.

I'm having the opposite experience: It's been super fun! It can be frustrating though when the AI can't figure things out but overall I've found it quite pleasant when using Claude Code (and ollama gpt-oss:120b for when I run out of credits haha). The codex extension and the entire range of OpenAI gpt5 models don't provide the same level of "wow, that just worked!" Or "wow, this code is actually well-documented and readable."

Seriously: If you haven't tried Claude Code (in VS Code via that extension of the same name), you're missing out. It's really a full generation or two ahead of the other coding assistant models. It's that good.

Spend $20 and give it a try. Then join the rest of us bitching that $20 doesn't give you enough credits and the gap between $20/month and $100/month is too large 😁

NO! It'syour device, you should have root! The fact that the manufacturer gives their product owners root is a good thing, not bad!

I will die on this fucking hill.

Blathering blatherskite!

This is the latest American version of The Monkey's Paw wish to be rich.

This could be a pyrrhic victory though, because the warming earth is causing sea turtles to all be born female. Which will result in a temporary population boom (what we're seeing now), followed by a total collapse:

He should play on all the girls teams, crush it like a total badass, then when conservative parents complain that "a boy is playing on the girls team" everyone can tell them to shut the fuck up because this is the future they always wanted. One with no exceptions or grey areas to speak of.

These displays drive me nuts. They're the most unreliable of all the possible options! After running fine for months, one day they'll just up and start looking all fucked up. Like, the letters/numbers will have random missing pixels. Or an entire LED block will stop working right in the middle of the chain (a true WTF moment).

You'll futz with the wiring/connectors and it'll start working again. "I guess it just came loose." Nope! I've proven this to be false, having screwed around with four different displays! It's not the wires. It's not their connections. It's not a bad MAX chip. I don't know WTF it is!

I've completely given up on these things. You're much better off making displays out of apa102 or ws2812b. You get more freedom and brightness that way.

Tip from someone who has made stuff with loads of different LEDs: Don't use WorldSemi-branded ws2812b LEDs! They're crap in comparison to the "generic" competition. The originals are much too sensitive to moisture (in soldering). They expire! Like a package of cheese!

They're also much, MUCH more likely to have one LED fail right in the middle of the chain for no fucking reason one day. They're also more expensive!

My favorite cheap RGB LED so far: XINGLIGHT XL-5050RGBC-2812B. They're the same size as ws2812bs but they're significantly brighter for less watts. But more importantly they last forever!

For premium LEDs, you can't go wrong with apa102. They're :chefs_kiss:

If they're that bad, why stop at keeping the checkmark green? Keep the camera on. 👍

Yes. Better if they collect it from personal blogs running on people's PCs 👍
