You can walk to where they're waiting for you.


No.


Another toy project. Happy Thanksgiving for them as having it.


I wrote a toy one which works well enough for me:

It'll run on a cheap Ubuntu box if you can't get a Pi.

And lots of people seem to like Rhasspy too:

which does rather look more polished than my efforts (though I've not tried it myself).


Side-threads like this are why I read HN.


Try Reddit. I think you might like it.


FWIW the thread about my cheap & cheerful effort from a while back:

Nice to see all the other efforts. There are a decent bunch now. Go, as they say, team :)


Hi, is this still active? I'm looking to mess around with one of these. I'm particularly interested in programming some specific weather Services, like telling me the next time rain is forecasted.

I see you mention weather in the README under Services, but it is not listed as a current service module. Is that something you need help with?


Simple weather service added:

Feel free to hack on it, if you're still game.


Still active but rather sporadic. (Time is very much at a premium these days alas.)

I never quite got around to doing a weather module but, if you fancy trying to put one together, it should not be too hard by cargo-culting from the other services. If things are confusing then open a problem request and I will look to make them less so.


I switched to the Zenfone series (around 6 or 7) after the HTC ones died a death. I like that they have an SD card and dual SIM. Happy with the Android version too; it's been fine from my perspective. I found them reliable and will probably upgrade my 8 flip at some point soon for this one (or a flip version), if only to try to vote with my wallet to keep Asus making more; we need more competition in the phone space.

I could shill more but that's probably enough for one evening.


I had an Asus probably 5 or 6 years ago and remember they had something called 'parallax wallpaper' or similar which sounds kinda lame, but was honestly trippy to look at and amazed me. Do you know if they're still doing that?


It looks like there is no SD Card slot in the Zenfone 9.


Yeah, unfortunately Asus took that away a couple of generations back. It's the main thing that keeps me away from their more recent phones.

I can sort-of understand omitting microSD support in a "compact" phone that's targeting a more mainstream market, but the part that really boggles my mind is that they've never had a microSD slot in any of their "gamer" ROG phones. Those things are huge, and also sold to a demographic that is more likely than average to want all the storage they can get.


Maybe an English degree would be a good complimentary one?

"To whom..."

Sorry. Couldn't resist...

Muphry's Law strikes again: compl-e-mentary vs. compl-i-mentary.


Haha, very fair! Hoisted by my own leotard...


I was agreeing right up until "XML" :)


Yes and yes.
