It's quite a clever idea! Rather than having to press potentially dirty buttons in a toilet to record your feedback, you can use a gesture instead. Nifty!
Except… Here's how they describe it on their website.
> No specialist hardware. No complex setup. Just plug in a camera-enabled device and you're live.
Oh. Good. A 24/7 video stream live from the loos. What could possibly go wrong with that?
@Edent they could just swap the buttons for foot pedals...

The United Nations have declared that 1.5°c rise or less is unachievable. This does not mean we surrender. Every fraction of a degree hotter means vastly more people suffering and dying, and more of the natural world being destroyed.

@Neurotransmitter I only know Haiku by name – I've never tried using it. Is it ready for hardware installation, and not only as a virtual OS right now?

Wer einen Rollstuhlfahrer oder jemanden auf Krücken transportiert hat, erkennt den Unsinn sofort. Wenn das die Zielgruppe seien soll, gute Leistung. Oder sind das die Opfer vom FSD ?
@UweBrinkhoff genau das. Es ist so unfassbar daemlich
Once the weather gets cooler, I'll be unstoppable. Unless it gets too cold, then I'll be stoppable again.
@catsalad Having hot flashes in D.C. is highly not recommended.

In Frankfurt, Germany, the grid is currently so saturated that no new connections will be available until at least the 2030s. There, data centers consume about 41% of the city's electricity. In Dublin, it's double that.
And data center electricity consumption is growing rapidly — it's expected to double by 2030 to about 945 terawatt-hours, around what Japan consumes annually, according to the International Energy Agency.

@awinkler Das hört sich nicht verkehrt an. Allerdings kann das Teilen von KI-produzierten Lösungen auch schnell problematisch werden und die Aufmerksamkeit des Gegenübers mit der Inspektion einer minderwertigen Lösung belasten (Beispiel Slop-PRs). Wenn ich so etwas teile, muss ich schon die Lösung zumindest verstehen und selbst die komplette Verantwortung dafür übernehmen.
@acka47 ich glaube, wir haben auch unterschiedliche Szenarien im Blick. Ich bin da weniger bei Softwareentwicklung, sondern bei einfacheren Dingen: wie kann ich mit xmlstarlet meine XML auslesen/modifizieren (Doku lässt einen da schnell im Stich), wie bekomme ich mit jq Daten aus meinem JSON (auch hier steile Lernkurve), ein kleiner Bash-Befehl, ein RegEx, eine Python-Funktion. Solche Dinge.

"One estimate found that when backup generators for all of Virginia's data centers were emitting at just 10% of their permitted level, they could contribute to 14,000 cases of asthma symptoms, more than a dozen deaths and up to $300 million in public health costs a year."

Global divisions, U.S. unilateral actions and rising geopolitical tensions prevent the G20 from functioning as an effective coordinating body. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2026/09/04/g20-flounders-again/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials #g20 #us #coldwar #g7 #globaleconomy #china #scottbessent #russia #iran #straitofhormuz #eurozone #satsukikatayama #boj #kazuoueda #ai

These 'G' groups accomplish nothing of note, except to get a lot of high level politicians to a location where they can exchange notes on how to screw the rest of the world without anyone caring.
Maybe it's time they ceased pretending and focus on revamping the UN and moving it to Europe.
Excuse me, when was someone going to tell me about Bilbao?!
