It seems very reasonable for owners of this device to expect something as simple as a schedule to work without having to phone home first.
As a software engineer, blows my mind how teams build shit like this

Ah yes, the classic “the stupid consumers are stupid” argument.
This was sold as being an offline-capable device. It even has battery slots for power outages.
Perhaps instead of shitting on people for buying something they thought would be nice and work well, we shit on the company that can’t even give a pet feeder an on-device offline schedule after selling people on a device that’s supposed to work offline and even during power outages.
And figure out how we can hack it and enable folks to control the hardware they own, because they weren’t stupid for buying a pet feeder. The company that runs it just does so in a moronic way.
(I don’t own one of these, but I have considered it a few times, and this just pisses me off)


Crazy that you need an API key to access data from private entities for data that is publicly funded.


Anyone can tell anyone anything, it doesn’t make it true or validated.


Oh of course, I’m not arguing against solar. Just arguing against dumb takes.


Did you just strawman a fact with an anecdote and then completely get your second statement backwards?
Nuclear plants have to scale down their water output for ecological regulation reasons. Which means they have to restrict their inflow, which means they have to restrict their output capacity.
Oil industry wants you to think that nuclear there doesn’t work, not that it does. Oil and coal have been working against nuclear for an entire generation or more.


Not sure if joking or just ignorance? Both?


Our org is doing it better by just hiding the configuration from everyone else in the org, so no one can audit it anyways 🤦
Who knows how it’s configured.


Going to the doctor costs like $400-500
It’s insane
And It’s the corporation that runs the clinic that gets to see the benefits from that, not the doctors


Looks like a ChatGPT poster


Yes, actually.
But unfortunately open sourced code also means Facebook will ALWAYS have a home advantage.
Distributed fuzzing might be better, but that creates a potentially centralized data issue for uBlock as fuzzing is aggregated and consumed. It’s also a massive architectural shift, and would be unlikely to be adopted by maintainers.


Seriously, what the fuck.
The entire god damn point of a shooting range is to be a safe place to shoot a weapon.
It’s failing at it’s one job.


They aren’t?
They are buying up capacity from manufacturers who are stopping production of DRAM and pivot to HBM which is more profitable. Abandoning DRAM which affects a lot more than just “consumer grade RAM”


Perhaps over video logs they send to each other periodically…


As usual folks are blind to second order effects.


You’re most definitely wrong here because the first step is to announce something like this because a project like this requires gathering a significant number of contributors.
They’re trying to hard fork Firefox, which means they are trying to take on the engineering efforts of hundreds of full time engineers who are browser development experts. To keep up with bugs, web standards, security patches, and performance. Nevermind new feature development.
I’m pretty pessimistic about it tbf.


How are they going to maintain the hard fork when something like 95+% of all engineering efforts that support LibreWolf and similar come from the Firefox engineering team?
Mostly mundane stuff like security patches, performance fixes, and web standards features and updates make up the bulk of the engineering efforts.


Projection is the word you’re looking for

Your way with words is beautiful
So you tried to defeat someone else’s experience with an anecdote where you have not had that experience. What even are you trying to say here?
Lots of people’s cats have behaviors like this. Feeding them a certain amount on a fixed schedule helps. We have six cats. One of them is like this. It’s a pain in the ass.
Especially if you’re away from home
