@sheerluck_io looks nice, but those empty journal entries are already judging me 🙄

This is awesome until the servo decides to dump the entire container of food in one go.

[Sanu @SanuThink]

This is what taking care of my aquarium during our vacation - an ESP, a servo and a small plastic container. Filter pump, lamp control and feeding.

Scheduled and remote control and monitoring.

Lara's skin texture getting a software update is wild. This is actually pretty cool

[Dario108 @DarioMac]

My scrappy little vibe-coded Tomb Painter app can now paint on the 3D models from the Remasters 🤯
I even added a clone and heal brush 🤓

Yeah, I could have done this with Blender, but Blender has 5 billion ways to mess it up 😫

Merckx's numbers are absolutely ridiculous. Pogacar is making the comparison pretty interesting though

A gaming laptop, a tiny model, and actual useful software. Pretty awesome.

[Nix 🔳 @NixFred]

My man Christopher Weis @OnTheLiftAI is Omarchy Builder #12!

He took a frozen SmolLM3 3B model from 58% to 90% across 100 bug fix tasks on a gaming laptop with an 8 GB GPU. Same model. Better repair tools.

His explanation: “It's really hard to diagnose a car with a flathead screwdriver.”

Christopher came from the automotive world, not software development. Omarchy and AI helped him turn a year of stalled ideas into shipped software:

• A dispatch app used daily at two locations
• Omarchy Vault: turns a spare drive into a private cloud on your home WiFi
• Omarchy Beam: sends your clipboard to any device
Vault and Beam are both MIT licensed Omarchy plugins.

What's the smallest model you actually use every day?

When you play a city builder, do you plan the roads first or figure them out as your city grows? 🤔

Metal Slug Advance is awesome. I might have to get the Expansion Pack for this

I just remembered a super old Pokemon oc I had from back when ZA was first announced. And.

I MIGHT rework this guy in some way.. mayhaps

A TV that expensive should not be doing this, and Samsung shouldn't make warranty repair feel like a second job

[Humble Bazooka @humblebazooka]

I don't typically use my company's social media for personal issues, but I think it has a better chance of reaching more people.

I've been an OLED guy for years, and a Plasma guy before that. I bought a new @Samsung S90F OLED TV. On day one I noticed what looked like hitching, stuttering video on all sources and built-in apps. A Samsung tech came out to look at it. He told me to my face that he saw the issue but couldn't do anything about it because the built-in test video played fine. I told him that was insane, considering all the possible causes, but ultimately, what could I do?

I sat on the issue for a while, because who has time to fight this kind of thing? Last night I got tired of it, and this morning I contacted Samsung support again. The customer service rep initially seemed like she wanted to help by opening a new ticket. I gave her all the pertinent info, a few videos demonstrating the issue, and the original ticket from March. She told me the tech's notes from March said he found nothing wrong and couldn't see the issue in person. That's completely different from what he told me, and I worry it has ruined any chance of a warranty repair. She also said there's a strong possibility I'd be charged if a tech came out again for the same issue.

The exchange went on for a while. At one point she said she couldn't see any issue in my videos, which felt disingenuous. I asked for a manager and waited, but she never transferred me. She said she'd like a longer video, but Samsung's submission system doesn't allow long ones. It all felt like stonewalling, and I'm most likely stuck with a very expensive TV in my living room that Samsung seems unwilling to repair under warranty.

I guess I could file in small claims court or contact my state's Consumer Affairs department, but I'm not holding my breath that I'll come away whole.

Has anyone dealt with something similar on an S90F, or had luck getting Samsung to honor a warranty claim?

You really don't need a server rack to mess around with a homelab

[Praveen Kumar Verma @Alacritic_Super]

Build a burglar alarm with an ESP32 and Rust this weekend.

This project uses a simple PIR motion sensor to detect movement, then triggers a buzzer and turns the onboard LED red.

What makes it interesting? The firmware is written in Rust using "esp-hal", so you can learn embedded Rust while working with real hardware.

No camera or complicated setup needed. Just a sensor, a buzzer, an ESP32, and a few lines of code.

A great beginner project for learning GPIO inputs, outputs, and hardware control.

Would you take it further with Wi-Fi alerts or a camera that captures an image when motion is detected?

Defending with the CDM sounds easy until your thumb starts switching to the centre-backs on its own

[Killer Fut Trading @KillerFutCoins]

🚨🔥 THE FUT TACTICS ARE HERE! 🥶

I’m not even exaggerating — this tactic is absolutely insane and works perfectly for me! 💯⚽

📋 Formation: 4-3-1-2 with a balanced setup. Your defensive switching is KEY to making it work! 🧠 Any mistake, especially if you defend with your entire team, could cost you a goal! 😬

🫡 TOP TIP: Defend with your CDM! Never switch to your centre-backs unnecessarily. Stay disciplined and control the midfield! 🔒

Meaning comes from the person making it. AI, paintbrush, crayons on the wall, whatever.

[🛸Mnemon🧙‍♂️ @mnemonic_titan]

Bro someone heard my paint brush vs Ai analogy and it caught 😀

Does anyone actually allow notifications when an app asks the second you open it?

[Tim @TimCook80926831]

I understood about three words, but taking out five at once sounds pretty badass

[Riot KDan @RiotKDan]

Day 1 Orianna!
Pluder Poro T1 must to play Seals or Command Attacks.
Command Attack helps search for Seals early game, Ball mid game, and Rostrum late game.

Big plays: Thousand Tail + Ball for 5 AoE wipe, or just card advantage & smart trades!

Charly Mottet sounds like a cartoon character who would absolutely destroy you on a bicycle. 🚴

[The World of Cycling @twocGAME]

Charly Mottet (Fra) one of the most prolific riders of the 80's. His biggest win was the 1988 Giro di Lombardia.

[Tim @TimCook80926831]

Cyclists, can you actually tell what brand of bike a rider is on during a race without seeing the logo?

A Game-Key Card for a 12 GB game is ridiculous. Put the damn game on the cartridge

[GameCartDB @GameCartDB]

This is getting harder and harder to justify.

According to the regional Nintendo eShop listings, FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE on Switch 2 is roughly:

🇪🇺 11.9 GB
🇺🇸 12.7 GB
🇦🇺 12.6 GB

And yet the physical Switch 2 release is still a Game-Key Card.

And that makes this one sting a little more — FINAL FANTASY RESONANCE was one of my most anticipated Switch 2 releases.

With FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, file size could at least be part of the conversation. Here, we’re talking about a game barely over 12 GB.

Switch collectors have been very clear: we want the game on the cartridge.

PlayStation collectors have rallied around #NoDiscNoBuy. Maybe it’s time Switch 2 collectors were just as loud about full-on-cart releases.

[Stealth @Stealth40k]

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask icons are now redeemable on Switch Online to celebrate the collectible cards coming to Nintendo Today!

This is awesome. I would've been so much less confused building circuits as a kid

[pedram.md @pdrmnvd]

I wanted to bring back the old charm of those all-in-one radioshack electronic kits from my youth, being able to wire up circuits and lighting up LEDs, to more complex projects. Back then the manuals were pretty awful and you could get stuck quickly. Believe it or not, this was before AI or the internet.

In this modern revision, you get a manual with 24 projects, but also the ability to chat with Claude about what you're building. Claude can see your circuits and help with any questions you might have.

One of the first things you would do in these kits is wire up a resistor to an led, but that always felt so arbitrary, so here's Claude explaining to me why it picked R3 for this project.

Built with Opus 5.5 in about a day.
