you may be interested in the open-source "Home Assistant". it's a free home automation hub thingy that supports practically every brand and protocol out there, including Shelly. if you're technical enough to set it up, free yourself from proprietary apps!

digdilem,

A correct and helpful answer. HA is phenomenal, although some report the learning curve is steep - it’s totally worth it.

I use it with lots of different vendors and it consolidates and coordinates everything between everything else.

Thirded. Home assistant is amazing and getting more beginner friendly every release.

Download VirtualBox and set it up on your computer to try it out for free! No investment required.

FlowVoid, to RedditMigration in WTF is this new crypto scam on reddit? Karma is now on the blockchain????

That’s not karma. Those are community points, which are subreddit-only points that have been on the blockchain for years.

If you’re not on the crypto subreddits, you’ve probably been blissfully unaware they exist. But it sure gets the crypto subreddits excited, especially when they can announce that their pet coin is moving to a New And Improved Blockchain ™.

I also believe they were used on the Fortnite subreddit. Because of course we need to be giving crypto to 10 year olds

Same here.

d3Xt3r, (edited ) to techsupport in On the work computer task manager is protected by password. I'm local admin, how can i revert this?

That’s not a standard Windows prompt, looks like some third-party application is intercepting the call.

Check the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionImage File Execution Options - for a key named taskmgr.exe. If it exists, see if the taskmgr.exe key has a value called Debugger. If so, delete the Debugger value, or rename the taskmgr.exe key to e.g. taskmgr.exe.old.

Then try launching Task Manager again.

If there’s nothing in the registry, you could monitor the process tree in Process Explorer and watch what happens when you execute taskmgr.exe. You could also use Process Monitor if you want to dig deeper and find out exactly what’s happening - you can filter out Microsoft processes to make it easier to see all thirdparty software interactions.

Moonrise2473,

Yes! Thanks It intercepted the call and launched taskmanagerlauncher.exe

CosmicTurtle,

Which tells me that the actual executable may have been unprotected. I’d be curious if you run the exe directly if it would give you the same prompt.

Moonrise2473,

No, when the reg key is present, it launched the launcher even when doubleclicking on taskmgr.exe

KISSmyOS,

Doing something like this on a work pc is a good way to get written up.

dee_dubs, to mildlyinfuriating in My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i open

I never had that floating over the document I was viewing, just in the home tab of the menu, but I did find a way to switch it off. ‘File > Preferences > General’ has an option to ‘disable all features which require an internet connection’. There are also options in there to disable that opening splash screen if you don’t want that.

Moonrise2473,

yes! it fixed it

thanks

The annoying tank controls, the bad camera angles especially when you were under attack and you moved so slowly.

Even with a walkthrough I think it was annoying to play. I seem to remember something about a lantern and the level of fuel it had. If it wasn’t full later in the game, I believe you couldn’t continue and I can’t remember if the game had a save and load system.

I’m sure someone will correct me. It’s been a while.

scrion,

I played that game when it came out and loved it, naturally - it was pretty revolutionary when it was released, 3d graphics and all.

Later on (say 15 years ago) I got nostalgic and tried to play it again, but couldn’t get over the weird controls and camera angles and deemed it unplayable.

Funny enough, I remembered it a week before Christmas and re-played it in DOSBox. To my surprise, I actually made fast progress and didn’t even die in any fight until midway into the game. I had a totally different experience in terms of difficulty, clunkiness etc. and really enjoyed it.

I still use Foxit 9.72 on my pc (which I don’t have open ATM, so I can’t check to be certain I gave the right version). I have tried newer versions, but there always was some kind of enshittyfication change that annoyed me and I always reverted back to that last good version.

ICastFist, to mildlyinfuriating in Exciting news! The free API you were using is no more free!
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

What really caught my attention was OpenSubtitles going from a .org to a .com domain.

Tag365,
@Tag365@lemmy.world avatar

So it’s a regular business now?

dustyData,

Always has been. I’ve no clue why they got hold of an org domain. At first they were more like early years wikipedia. Today most subtitles don’t sink with almost any release and their hashes are inconsistent.

Slurpey, to mildlyinfuriating in Exciting news! The free API you were using is no more free!

I mean to be realistic, Whisper (the audio to text AI ) linked with chatGPT can subtitle anything in real time, translated in any language, in very high quality…

cyberpunk007,

Does this have a plugin or something for Plex?

Stephen304,

You can use bazarr to batch generate whisper subtitles for your Plex/jellyfin/kodi library: wiki.bazarr.media/…/Whisper-Provider/

ashok36,

This is super cool.

abbadon420,

Asking the important questions here

VaultBoyNewVegas,

Kodi would be question.

nicetriangle,
nicetriangle avatar

Seems like a huge waste of electricity

ARNiM,

For something like movies or shows you would only just need to run it once and store it in .srt

nicetriangle,
nicetriangle avatar

Yeah but then multiply that by every video file in every Plex library in the world that doesn't have SRTs already.

LiveLM,

Yeah, and we could have a website so people that already did the process for a piece of media could share the result with others!

…oh wait

ARNiM,

Full circle.

gato,

You just need a GPU running in realtime along side your video playback to analyse what is being played instead of a single text file with timecodes.

Progress!

ashok36,

Could probably do it with something like a Google coral. You can get one for $60 these days. A lot cheaper than a GPU and less power hungry too.

gato,

That’s still another thing that needs to be bought, installed, and fed with power.
My low power would likely melt trying to run Whisper.

ashok36,

A USB coral uses barely any power and if you have a hard time installing USB devices…

Besides, a lot of people are already using them for frigate. I am.

gato,

I was only aware of the m.2 variants.

Still, it’s a thing to be bought which I have not had to do for years for my media solution.

dan,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

You can get one for $60 these days.

I think they’re $25ish from an official supplier. $60 is scalper pricing. Don’t pay a scalper as it just encourages them to do it more.

ashok36,

$25 for the m.2 version at least. It’s $60 for the usb version which I assume most people would prefer.

dan,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

Ah, I didn’t realise the USB one cost that much more. I’m not sure most people would prefer the USB version though. It’s convenient to move around and you can use it with mini PCs, but cooling isn’t as good compared to something that sits in a case with good airflow (so it’s more likely to thermally throttle while in use), and having dedicated PCIe lanes as you’d get with an M.2 is way more efficient than using a shared bus like USB. Google have always advertised the USB version for “prototyping” while the M.2 versions are for “production”.

For $40, you can get an M.2 version that has two Coral TPUs on a single board. coral.ai/products/m2-accelerator-dual-edgetpu. I’ve got this one with a PCIe adapter, but currently only use one of the TPUs.

Stephen304,

It doesn’t need to be realtime since you can pre generate an srt with time codes beforehand using something like bazarr. Whisper also runs faster than realtime in most model sizes, up to 32x realtime so it can really be worth it to add auto subtitles to media in your collection that’s missing subtitles as a one time job.

gato,

It’s an interesting idea to patch the holes when absolutely no srt files are available.
But why not have an open repository where already present srt files could be shared by people.
We could call it libre-subs or something like that.
