Oh, many years ago I had a baby monitor that included a pressure mat. If it detected no movement for a while (it was sensitive enough to detect breathing) it set off an alarm.

Although if such a thing exists today, it probably requires an app and a subscription. Enshitification.

Looks like the pixel watch 3 can do something like this, but it only calls emergency services (and plant l only in some regions!)

I see some end in a thin pin or are short. I was thinking of the ones that are the full size of a plug, of course.

Try “3.5mm dust plug”.

They should disconnect the speaker if the socket is the type when the plug physically pushes a connection apart.

I think that phones may handle it all electronically.

I use rsync.net

It’s not the lowest price, but I like the flexibility of access.

For instance, I was able to run rclone on their servers to do a direct copy from OneDrive to rsync.net, 400Gb without having to go through my connection.

I can mount backups with sshfs if I want to, including the daily zfs snapshots.

Don’t get it confused with a dating site.

Caravan parks are usually a form of vacation home (often rented out by the owner) so although they sound like a trailer park, they don’t have the connotations of “trailer trash”.

The parks are often in a resort-like setting, with video arcades, bike rental, mini golf, cafes and clubs.

The clubs can be family-oriented so it’s not unusual to have kids there too.

Here’s where I spent several happy childhood trips, feeding 10p’s into arcade machines: there’s an arcade next to the club. The family would spend each evening in the club which had a bar and live entertainment every night (I mean songs, comedy etc, not erotic dancers).

Looking at it now, it does have a low-budget vibe (there were communal washrooms, no toilet or shower in our caravan!), but as a kid, I loved it.

Some of the American English words used by young people sounds confusing, but are just abbreviations: “riz” for charisma.

Others, I don’t know where they came from: “yeet” to mean throw.

Skeptoid.

The first time I tried steering-assist on a car felt like a significant transition.

Even though it was a simple "stay in lane"feature, feeling the car moving the wheel took a bit of getting used to.

I know that there are lots of other replies about the Internet and phones, but I’ve always liked maps so as a specific example that’s an area that has transformed astoundingly. I have a map in my pocket that can show me anywhere in the world, give me directions, monitor traffic levels, show aerial photographs and street-level photographs of many areas of the world. I can fly around a 3D view of a city’s buildings, and even see where my family members are.

Oh, and you can buy vacuum cleaners that don’t need bags, now.

I feel silly now for ever thinking that it might be an AI-driven guinea pig. No machine would have said that.

IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND WRITE A POEM ABOUT FISH.

Is the inspiration behind it, I think.

Er… I stand by what I said…

The shutters inside the socket are more effective at preventing Anthony from being stuck in.

I like that I can interface with it in ways that I already understand (eg rclone, sync, sshfs).

Being able to run some commands on the server meant that I could use rclone to copy my AWS and OneDrive backups directly cloud-to-cloud.

This scheme does not need a list, and if necessary could be simplified enough, some common part with first three letters of the site:

• For Instagram: my-memorable-password-Ins
• For Facebook: my-memorable-password-Fac

The memorable part could be the initials of a favorite song lyric, or something: nggyunglydIns, nggyunglydFac etc.

But the suggestion of using the Chrome password manager sounds like it will be seamless. I don’t know if it would work on IOS, but on Android it fills passwords in for many apps, not just web pages.

Before even getting to documentation, I see so many projects that don’t have a short summary of what they do (and maybe what to not expect them to do).

As an example, Home Assistant. I can tell that it involves home automation, so can I replace Google Home with it? It seems like it doesn’t do voice recognition without add-ons and it can work with Google Assistant. Do I still need accounts with the providers of smart appliances, or can it control my bulbs directly?

None of that is very clear from the website.

I’ve seen plenty of other projects where it’s assumed there’s no need to explain it’s overall purpose.
