It could be both.

It can't be checkmate if the wind has blown over all the pieces.

What OS does the Batcomputer use? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

No, he'd probably use something made by a reputable company.

Maybe at the office, but for real security in the batcave? He'd be on Waynux

YSK: shampoo is not, in fact, "fake poo." (sh.itjust.works)
 

Don't try to wash your hair with real poo.

It won't clean your hair.

(And you'll need a lot more shampoo after you try.)

(In order to clean all the real poo out of your hair.)

What's more dangerous nowadays: To not update Win11, or to update it? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Sadly, the only totally-safe way to use ANY computer - windows, mac, linux, anything - is to never connect it to a network in the first place.

Everything else is complicated.

Reuse old security system in c/homeimprovement@lemmy.world
[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I know enough about electrics that I might be able to help, but I'm not a security system expert.

A lot of these old wired systems are basically continuity detectors. If someone breaks a window or opens a door, continuity breaks, and therefore an alarm sounds. It's like flipping a switch from on to off. And the IR stuff is just ordinary motion detection, the technology is still really common today.

You might be able to do a variety of stuff with that, depending on exactly what's installed and how technically adept you are.

If you can find the service or installation manual for your old panel, you can find out how it was wired up. Sometimes the patch panels are pretty basic, and you might be able to wire the connections into any number of things. Maybe a new alarm panel - or maybe a Raspberry Pi you can program to do different things when windows and doors open or close. For example, when continuity breaks on your front door, you can tell the system to turn on your indoor lights.

So yes, there's a lot you can potentially do with it all. It all depends on how much work you want to put into it, and whether you can figure out how it's all connected.

Why try something if there's no evidence it will work?

If many were given the option to order a Stupid Cat or a Smart Cat, the vast majority would pick the Stupid Cat despite Stupid being bad. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I have one Brilliant Schemer and one Beautiful Idiot, and I wouldn't trade either of them ♥️

Enshittification of Arduino Begins? Qualcomm Starts Clamping Down in c/hardware@programming.dev
[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 61 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Damn, I had no idea Qualcomm bought them.

Qualcomm is one of the worst companies. I'm certainly not going to support Arduino anymore.

3rd-person shooters optimized for controllers? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

Yeah, these days I play everything with a controller - because I'd rather sit on the couch than in a desk chair.

The atmosphere is just air. Air doesn't have mass or weight, that's why it floats.

We totally need Kate Winslet as the Astro Toilet leader, and Matt Smith as G-toilet.

Also Mr. T as the voice of the Red Titan.

Help making system wake up to keyboard (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello! New to Bazzite, and have a system running great. There's just one thing I'm having trouble with: I want the system to wake up from a sleep state when it detects signal from a keyboard/mouse.

I tried following this guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/848698/wake-up-from-suspend-using-usb-device

It seems straightforward enough, and even though that's Ubuntu, I saw buses were set to "disabled." So I tried writing the rc.local, but it still won't wake up, even though the devices have power.

Am I missing something? Or can anyone point me to a better reference? Thanks in advance.
