I’ve been using a “high endurance” card. These are the only ones SanDisk will do their guarantee for if you use them in a Pi.

This is what you get through HomeKit, there’s a lot more from the cloud but if you just want to control or monitor the temperature it’s sufficient:

The Tado works fine with Home Assistant. You can use the cloud interface or you can use HomeKit if you want to control it locally.

In my experience the Tado works really well, as it controls the boiler flow temperature rather than being just on/off when it reaches temperature. Just make sure you connect it for EMS - the instructions if you tell it you’re replacing an old thermostat sometimes say to connect it up with the relay input instead.

(Edit: AFAIK it doesn’t use ZigBee so the ZBDongle is irrelevant)

In fact it was compulsory in Britain until the 1980s/90s. I’m not sure exactly when it changed, but the reason was due to different electricity companies having different sockets (and therefore plugs). It was standardised way before then, but I guess if that’s the way it has always been done nobody thinks of changing it.

I had a cheapo Chinese charger explode in the socket. It was indeed quite exciting.

In the 80s my uncle ran a shop. When we went to visit him once he produced these. I think that’s the only time I saw them.

Try aidungeon - it does exactly this.

I have used off the shelf vegan mix. The one I had needed milk (substitute) added to it. Maybe you need to do that rather than add water?

You’re probably better off making the batter yourself. That’s what I do and they seemingly turn out perfectly every time (except the first one, which always breaks up and goes a bit wrong).

I’ve been using it recently for generating alt text for images (my bots on Mastodon and Aunty Madge on !yoursinclair@retrolemmy.com specifically). It’s pretty good at that, although does sometimes give weirdly wrong details - especially the TED Music Bot, if it gets the usual +4 startup screen it says it’s +4 on key F1, instead of 3-plus-1, and tells me the wrong colours for the text and background (I think it may be getting it confused with the C64, bit the colours are right there on the image!). It’s infinitely preferable to having no alt text, which would be the alternative.

The other thing it’s really good at is summarising articles.

I’ve also used it when I’ve had an error in my code I can’t track down, or a bracket missing that I can’t figure out. It quite often gives nonsense but I’ve had some success. Usually a normal web search is perfectly adequate though!

Same vibe. Well done!

I believe this is the first thing anybody does with a new “lablemaker”

Yay capitalism!

🤣

Press Enter.

I see from your photo that it’s a Lenovo - pressing Enter to interrupt normal startup will give you a menu which then lets you get into the BIOS.

If it doesn’t go past the “press Enter” point you might need to remove the HDD (or whatever storage it has) and try again. Reconnect once you’ve changed the settings back.

Just missing a random pile of files on the desktop.

Yes, you need to copy the Lemmy link (original link), I think it is a colourful Fediverse icon on the default UI.

Search for that URL on Mastodon and it should appear.

You might not see all the comments though, depends if they have federated (you can search for them as above).

That’s to guarantee you have to try plugging the USB cable in in all four available orientations before it fits.
