I love homebridge. Out of the 100 devices or so that I have in the HomeApp, only 2 or so are „native“ HomeKit devices. Will upgrade to HomeBridge 2 soon (but keep my old installation just to be safe =))
That’s Reddit. On HN I sometimes find people with niche interests and expertise in all kinds of fields, which I like. It’s also relatively civilized. You don’t need to be a 4-chan edgelord to be not-normie.
We already do this with libraries and frameworks in a more primitive way. The hard work is actually done by a hand full of programmers, everyone else is sticking pipes together. I don't think that's a bad thing per se, but in my experience most people don't make the distinction. You're not going to be able to write your own database server with this tool if you weren't able to do so without it. If you're one of the few programmers that are able to build a database, a graphics engine, a compiler etc. you're fine. Everyone else should probably feel a mild panic. You'll be automated away in a couple of AI generations.
These look magnificent. I’m Looking forward to a couple of years when the battery is dead and you can’t change it without breaking the glued case. This is similar to the reaction I have to announcements of new Google services due to notorious discontinuation.
Edit: judging from the explosion view, it does look to feature actual screws, so I'm cautiously optimistic they might last longer than 3 years, although you never know if they didn't add authentication to the battery to prevent it from being user-servicable.
I've always been somewhat underwhelmed by AI stuff but Google is rocking it. As a long time iPhone user I'm really tempted by their stuff (if it wasn't for the privacy creep). Apple isn't even in the same league as Google when it comes to AI and services.
Another weird thing: I have a 3DS and a 3DS XL but purchases can only be installed on 1 system. This is also a problem if your system breaks, because your games are tied to your console.
