If you came to the fediverse for a community on dbzer0, easiest solution is to make an account on dbzer0. It's a good instance, if you like it, think about contributing to their patreon.

No, we're all on lemmy.world and we're here, not fully defederated. You can get to most communities on dbzer0, it's just that specific /c/piracy community that is blocked on world.

Just a heads up, I see you joined lemmy.world , the dbzer0 piracy community that I think you may have come for is blocked there, so may not be able to access it from where you are.

I know it's kinda confusing.

If you're thinking about asking the AI whether it's a good time to hydrate, the answer is yes.

I think one of the various interface options does, but you can just use one of the multitude of third party apps available as well.

Almost definitely right, but I've had a doctor tell me the same.

Doctors have a lot of 'go away and leave me alone' statements that are mostly meant to just get you out the door.

Most of the things you read about on this topic are verging on pseudoscience (because nearly everything diet based is) and you're going to have to feel out how it works for you if you want to look into it, but we think the cravings you have are more about what your brain thinks are the best ways to get specific things.

So, while you're craving 'sour gummi bears', what your brain actually wants might be a specific vitamin or mineral that your brain thinks it can get from that and it's likely to have an alternate healthy source. Real hard to put into practice and change how you approach that though.

The theory is that you could stretch it to fall under incitement, not sure if something quite like it has ever been prosecuted, but near everyone includes similar disclaimers if they want to do something like this.

Plus side there though... Like most devices marketed towards enterprise, once they hit the used market, the price drops dramatically. You can get a pretty good deal on a used one.

We're just going to have to spend the next 20 years researching each model to figure out whether it was made by nissan guys in nissan plants or honda guys in honda plants. It will probably realistically be functionally separated for a long time. Hopefully, everything will settle closer to honda quality.

I'm conflicted on the projects like that one right now. It's super clever to monitor the network traffic for specific dash buttons trying to reach out, but it also feels super janky and I don't feel like I can justify putting the effort to set that up when it just feels so fragile. Especially with the caveat that if the amazon block you have to setup for it fails then the device just becomes a paperweight.

Genius idea, but I'm going to hold out for the unlikely possibility of someone figuring out a firmware level hack.

Amazon was effectively giving them away for free for a large portion of their lifespan. You'd have deals where you'd pay for them and then get a coupon for actually using them equal to the purchase price. I feel like I even remember a few times where the coupon you got worked out to slightly more than you paid for the button. Basically, saying that someone 'bought' one was usually only partially true.

They did have a few legitimately good uses. Had to have something that needed restocking sporadically but you also didn't think about often and could wait 2-3 days to receive when you realized you were out. A lot of prerequisites there, I used the ones for trash bags and detergent often.

It's mostly just a shame the amount of ewaste produced at this point. I still have a box full somewhere in hopes of finding a use case.
