Ha yeah. I would absolutely confirm there is no data connection

Can confirm. I’m a tech worker. No smart devices. Laser printer. Very close to going back to a flip phone.

I am looking at some smart locks, but they’re able to be used as dumb locks with PIN code and physical key also. And they have a usb power port on the outside you could plug a battery into.

I’ve gone down the smart home route a decade ago and only did non-cloud integrated devices with physical controls also. But it’s a part time hobby to maintain it.

ChatGPT can make ridiculous claims about what it can do. It sometimes even says that it does real world things when it’s laughably impossible.

I get the best results, and it’s right there in X for me.

Yes, I realize I am committing a mortal sin around these parts by using Elon products but us people do exist here.

Grok:

To solve this CAPTCHA, we need to identify which of the System-on-Chip (SoC) images can boot mainline Linux. Mainline Linux refers to the official Linux kernel maintained by the Linux community, and not all SoCs have adequate support for it due to varying levels of driver development and community support. Based on my knowledge of SoCs and their Linux compatibility up to my latest updates, let’s analyze each image:

1. Harris S80C286-16 F3360 Δ8943: This appears to be an older Intel 80286-based chip, typically used in early PCs. It does not support mainline Linux, as Linux requires more modern architectures.
2. Xilinx Spartan-6: This is an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), not a traditional SoC. While it can run Linux with custom configurations, mainline Linux support is limited and not standard.
3. Rockchip RX3399: Rockchip SoCs, such as the RK3399, are well-known for their mainline Linux support, especially in single-board computers like the Rock Pi 4.
4. ITE IT8516E: This is likely a super I/O chip or embedded controller, not a full SoC capable of running a general-purpose OS like Linux.
5. Intel '82: This is too vague to identify, but it seems to be an old Intel processor. Older Intel chips may not have mainline Linux support.
6. Qualcomm MSM8916: Qualcomm SoCs often have limited mainline Linux support due to proprietary drivers. The MSM8916 (Snapdragon 410) has some community efforts but is not fully mainline-compatible.
7. Marvell PXA1928: Marvell PXA series chips have had mixed support. The PXA1928 has limited mainline Linux support and is not widely recognized for it.
8. Intel '91: Again, too vague, but likely an older Intel chip with no mainline Linux support.
9. Texas Instruments OMAP 850AZVL: Older TI OMAP chips have limited mainline support. The 850 series is quite outdated and unlikely to boot mainline Linux.
10. Broadcom BCM2709: This is the SoC used in early Raspberry Pi models (e.g., Pi 2). Broadcom SoCs have partial mainline support, but much of the Raspberry Pi ecosystem relies on custom kernels.
11. Samsung S5L8930X: This appears to be an older Samsung chip, possibly from an iPhone or similar device. It lacks mainline Linux support.
12. Allwinner A13: Allwinner SoCs, like the A13, have growing mainline Linux support, especially with community efforts for devices like the Cubieboard.
13. SCEI CXD90036: This is likely a Sony PlayStation-related chip. It is not designed for mainline Linux.
14. Mediatek MT6577: Mediatek SoCs have historically had poor mainline Linux support due to proprietary firmware requirements.

Conclusion:

The SoCs that are known to have reasonable mainline Linux support based on my knowledge are:

• Rockchip RX3399
• Allwinner A13

Thus, you should select the squares containing:

• The Rockchip RX3399 (third image in the top row).
• The Allwinner A13 (first image in the bottom row).

Click on these two squares and then press “VERIFY”.

No. In fact it explicitly doesn’t allow that.

• There is always only one correct way to spell anything.

“gray" and “grey” are both correct spellings of the color between black and white.

No that’s not what they meant. See their response.

Ah ok I understand. Still it’s nice to know the preferred and used languages in a company.

I don’t do compilers

? What do you mean

It really whips the llamas ass

Pretty sure all of it has been hacked in the past 10 years anyway. At least phone, address, ssn all got taken several times now.

This is a primary use for me. A couple times per day.

That’s part of what makes LLMs so popular with software engineers, they solve lots of trivial daily computer tasks.

My #1 rule for the teams I lead is “consistency”. So it may fall back to that. The standard where you work is to use a certain way of doing things so everyone becomes skilled at the same thing.

I have the same rule, but I always let a little bash slide here and there.

Very different. This means default ignore all errors and continue to the next line. You’d have to explicitly catch every line in most(all?) other languages.

This Lemmy thread isn’t representative of the real world. I’ve been a dev for 40 years. You use what works. Bash is a fantastic scripting tool.

What gave you the impression that this was just for development? Bash is widely used in production environments for scripting all over enterprises. The people you work with just don’t have much experience at lots of shops I would think.

It’s just not wise to write an entire system in bash. Just simple little tasks to do quick things. Yes, in production. The devops world runs on bash scripts.

Ah ok…

I was disputing the implication that this type of dumb tv only matters to Lemmy users. I felt as if that was an implication you were making in your first message. You left that out of your summary here.

Agree that the majority of people don’t want to pay for a dumb tv, and in fact I’d think that the majority of people would not even like a dumb tv. A tv with built in apps to access services is far more desired by the vast majority.

I’m not understanding what the point is that you’re trying to make? I’m sorry.

Well that’s not true. They have been in business for 40 years. They sell TVs for people who don’t want anything except video in. Mainly commercial places like offices, stadiums, etc.
