Well, of course that data is in the "cloud" of a capitalist company willing to sell access to it to anyone... But that doesn't mean I am okay with you being that anyone!

Ooohh cool. Non-intrusive load monitoring. I did my bachelor’s thesis on that. Pretty interesting field

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Uuuuh, nice, what did you find out?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha. That person monitors loads.

I wipe them off because I didn’t go to school.

What did you just call me?

I was investigating if these algorithms could be used in an embedded environment. Basically I implemented a load monitor on a raspberry pi using a pretty basic machine learning algorithm and checked performance. Performance wise it worked out pretty well but the accuracy was pretty bad on real world data. Like 50%. Of you’re interested in how it works I can give some more info.

vacuums and coffee machines.

Yeah. those are the, uh, devices, I'm most concerned people knowing I use...

You have a wall power dildo or something?

The Hitachi Magic Wand is one of the most well known vibrators out there. And it's powered straight from mains voltage.

Goddamn, does it require that much juice?

[–] Alteon 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, the lights dim when I turn it on, and it sounds like I'm powering up a blaster in Star Wars, so you tell me...oh, wait....that's not a Hitachi Wand. Nevermind.

Mix it up for the immersion blender again?

You ever gotten off with an quantum flux capacitor before? Let me tell you...it'll change your reality.

Also, it's not a sex toy. I mean, people use it as one but it wasn't interested for that

My wife finds it so funny when I use it for it's "advertised purpose" on my neck and shoulders.

[–] RubberElectrons 1 points 1 year ago

Mine too 😂

Both a "wireless" (battery-powered), and wired version exist. The wired version is unsurprisingly the original design.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but mentioning the playstation and the meme homeserver right away felt a little too cheap.

It’s more the kitchen appliances that I use aren’t the ones people bought as gifts… seriously that combined air fryer/pressure cooker/five-other-cooker-things is… annoying.

(I just have an instapot+slow cooker, immersion blender+blender+food processor that I have to hide from certain family, the absence of the “all in ones” would start a fight.)

Whenever I miss words when I'm writing something I blame it on my ADHD

So, should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out.
