@envgen I found the TV adverts for that stuff really annoying and excessively upsetting

gonna stream in half an hour

@body@mastodon.social also computers are just bad right now. We're very unlikely to come up with appropriate equipment and techniques for this sort of thing when they all come from a bunch of people trying to cheaply one-up eachother

@body@mastodon.social even human brains take like 2-3 decades to get to the point where people seem happy with them so a learning-based approach seems destined to either be extremely slow or extremely energy intensive

@envgen it is likely that literally everyone does given how busted the entire of all everything is

@body@mastodon.social if it's any consolation, HDDs are some of the best value-per-unit of any computer components these days. The decade old intel CPU in my desktop that starts belching fire when the machine boots is still apparently "worth" more than ryzen products with lower power draw and 4x the threads

@SuricrasiaOnline I think the upcoming one has 48/96 and maybe 64/128 on a refresh? Dunno yet

@SuricrasiaOnline that's maybe 1-3 ryzen generations away

scrumbus

haha nice

Scrumbus?

@envgen also very fat. Lots of petting surface area

@envgen they're like sharp miniature dogs

@Duende@snouts.online they permanently lock at the slightest sign of trouble

@tom I think the real question is how I know any of this

@tom if the microcontroller isn't set up with the thermostat logic I doubt you'll get anything off the ports but it'll be interesting to see either way

@tom I should say my theory is component reuse because it looks like the exact same display and board as thermostats I've seen the inside of- just a different case

@tom thermostats are thermometers that put DC down a specific pin when temperature is between A and B

@tom could be a reused board! Also they could be testing points or for flashing the microcontroller but it looks like none of those
