No I’m saying you told your family to stop turning off the dehumidifier and they haven’t stopped doing that. No amount of home automation or smart devices is going to change your family turning the dehumidifier off. You don’t have a dumb system problem, you have a dumb people problem. And unfortunately a dumb people problem doesn’t get solved by a smarter system.

Dehumidifiers are already automatic. Black mold isn’t going to take over your bathroom in 10 minutes.

It sounds to me like your problem is human error, not the lack of a smarter machine. You can’t engineer your way around people being morons. The greatest engineering minds have figured that out years ago.

But dehumidification doesn’t need to be proactive, it’s entire point is to kick on when there’s too much humidity and turn off once it gets to where it’s set to. This is the kind of building a solution to a problem that doesn’t actually exist.

And you’re vastly underestimating how quickly diffusion works, especiallu for water vapor in air. When I take my shower in the morning the air very quickly saturates with humidity. I don’t have a very dry half of the room and a very humid half of the room. The entire room is humid. It doesn’t take 10 minutes for the humidity to diffuse into the dehumidifier. And then I leave the bathroom door open after which the humidity very quickly dissipates and equalizes the relatively high humidity of the very small bathroom into the comfortable humidity of the very large everywhere else that the small amount of humidity will have a negligible impact on.

I’m failing to see how putting more unnecessary stuff between the hygrometer and the cooling loop of a dehumidifier makes it better.

And how does a well designed automation system measure how much moisture in the air? There must be some kind of measuring device that measures moisture, a moisture scope! Ooh wait let’s latinize it to make it sound more impressive and sophisticated a hygro…me…ter… oh… uh… this is embarrassing.

Dehumidifiers already do that. They’re equipped with hygrometers that kick the machine on or off depending on the relative humidity. It’s old tech and it’s pretty reliable, wifi isn’t really necessary for it.

I gotta agree with Samus12345 on this one. This really does look like something conservatives would post unironically kinda like that pride month = demon meme with an ai generated rainbow Satan goat head that makes pride month look so much more badass than they were trying to show.

So the earliest we have of this kind of saying is from Don Quixote where it is about deflecting hypocritical criticism from the 1600s. The shiny kettle/black pot version is more recent one gaining prominence in the late 1800s.

I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE???

But seriously though there’s something about a palm being itchy, especially the thicker pad where the hand begins to transition into the wrist that just is so much more persistent than anywhere else.

Its bad journalistic reporting.

Study “we tested if burned food contains carcinogens. We used bread as our test medium and found elevated carcinogens in the burnt bread compared to properly toasted and untoasted bread, leading to a slight increase in exposure to carcinogens and slightly increases the chance of cancer.”

The reporting and editorial: “BURNT BREAD CAUSES CANCER! MORE AFTER OUR SPONSOR FOR DEPRESSION MEDICINE!”

They scraped everything, how many AI apocalypse fanfics do you think exist on AO3 or Fanfiction.net? How many Hollywood movies and scripts featuring the AI apocalypse do you think have been scraped? How many novels and books google has scanned and put into their dataset?

It’s already there, they scraped everything with no forethought or filter.

I don’t think growing up to be OK with threats of horrific violence against children is healthy. Like… at all… like that’s some serial killer shit.

AI is just one more tool in the arsenal of propaganda for them. People in power haven’t even needed computers and advanced technology to get people to commit atrocities, we’ve been doing that for centuries.

That makes some sense like an early blunderbluss kind of thing?

I don’t think they really had shotguns in the 15th century tho.

Sure tanks are def not good for the environment and EVs offer an easier method to getting to a distributed clean energy network, but lets just take a moment to appreciate the circumstance of a WW2 veteran destroying a modern day symbol of nazism and fascism.

Bleach is Sodium Hypochloride. NaClO not HO

Valid point, personally we keep a mesh catch over ours to keep anything really big from getting down there and so we can control what goes down into it.

Garbage disposals do exist. Even so, they’re not really meant to be grinding up a whole bunch of food, and neither are the pipes really meant to handle that quantity of solids, even in ground up

The time is gone, the song is over. Though I’d something more to say.
