How many followers, subscribers, connections, upvotes or friends (...) does it take to turn a normal person into an influencer on a particular social media platform? Does it take anything else? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

It's not the numbers but the content, if they are good natured and have knowledge or entertainment to give the numbers will follow BUT people will also watch a dumpster fire. People with high numbers but lack the rest are not influencers. IMHO, People that go around saying they are "influencers" usually are not and are just bullies trying to throw around weight they don't have to get free stuff or cause harm.

It’s half potassium chloride, that can cause you heart issues too if you get to much of it.

Are there any uses for an old iPad 4th generation for programming? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] AbidingOhmsLaw@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

There are no “real” alternative OS available for apple devices. You can get some IDE “lite” apps like Visual Code, Python Editor, etc. but these a meant as companions to a PC IDE not meant for compiling, linking, testing, etc. You might be able to trade the old iPad for an old laptop you can put a flavor of Linux on.

A lot of independent mechanics will use the manufacturer scan tool and service applications or use a 3rd party scan tool/applications that is licensed through the manufacturer and still uploads the data.

Can anybody explain why someone sell me an apartment in resort ? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

usually not, you have to be the person who stays there, you can’t sublet. And you still have to pay your percentage weather you use your time or not.

Sounds like a time share. You would own a percentage of the apartment with a bunch of other people, You would have to book the time you wanted to use the apartment and you would be limited to the number of weeks you could book as the other people would be there when your not. Also lots and lots of rules!

Thank you for posting the text,

Unfortunately I’m using a mobile app/browser for Lemmy and last time I looked there was not any paywall remover plugins.

The NYT bot seems to be posting a lot of articles, so I just blocked them a few min ago, no use seeing the posts if I can’t read them anyway.

One success, one failure (lemmy.ml)
 

I discovered some items on clearance at Home Depot, a Wyze Outdoor duplex plug and a Defiant smart plug. Did a little research on the modules I found inside and was pleased that both used esp32 microcontrollers. I got both disassembled, soldered up, and got to work flashing ESPHome, The Wyze was went well and is now integrated into my HA. Unfortunately the Defiant smart plug was defiant and when hooked up to do the flash I got a “Download mode disabled, reset with GPIO0 high.” Researching that I found that newer esp32 chips have a “Secure boot” fuse that once set disables future firmware updates from the UART. Not sure yet if there is an OTA exploit like the with BK7321 toya chips, but i’m not hopefull. If anyone knows of something let me know.

HA touchscreen dashboard with old pi (lemmy.ml)
 

I have an old Raspberry Pi B+ (cica 2015) it came out after the Pi 1s and before the Pi 2s. I would like to use it with a Pi 7” touchscreen to make a touch screen dashboard for my HA. I been trying different solutions I’ve found but most of them make use of chromium in kiosk mode, chromium won’t run on the B+ 🙁. I found several other older solutions but with all of them I’ve run into issues like files can’t be found anymore or have dependencies on libraries that can no longer be found like kweb kiosk browser or use things that are no longer supported by the OS like OTX.

Anyone using a B+ for an HA dashboard? Got any tips?

iseebell doorbell streams (lemmy.ml)
 

I’ve had this iseebell video doorbell for a few years and a year or so ago their web site disappeared as well as the app from the mobile stores. I still have the app on my phone and it does still work but, since the company seems now be defunct I expect that the app will cease working soon. I’m not thrilled that there is an app and need to proxy through a external server anyway and I would like to add the streams to my Friget/HA setup. Does anyone have any info on the iseebell streams, alternate firmwares, hardware hacks, etc.?
