Nice! I’ll update my container and give it a go.

Not really the same thing as switching my VPN’s country.

Hmmm, an RPi with a camera might well work. The problem there is more the amount of work I’d need to do - I haven’t got that kind of time right now.

Didn’t seem to work for me on my phone.

An honest answer that it’s not currently easily doable is in and of itself useful.

This is a “nice to have”. I figured I’d ask preemptively so that I didn’t go down a blind alley. Thanks!

I would be buying. The cam I borrowed wouldn’t fit the setup I want, I just mentioned it because I want that functionality but without the hassle of pulling the SD card.

So far it doesn’t sound like what I want exists, unfortunately.

That essentially boils down to “build your own solution”, which under my current circumstances amounts to “don’t do it”. Not that I lack the skill or will but the spare time and energy I have is used on my baby daughter. I can’t justify rabbit holing on something like this.

It’s why I created this thread - to see if there’s a software and hardware combo that solves this with minimal additional work.

WiFi would be easily sufficient. We’re talking a distance of 10m from my router, tops.

I borrowed a camera - it’s not the one I would be using for this.

That’s why I’m asking. I haven’t bought anything yet and don’t want to get the wrong thing.

That would be possible, yep.

I’ve been quite impressed with the Roku stick I bought in the last year or so. It cost about £50 and does 4K with all the additional bells and whistles, it’s responsive, isn’t drowning in ads, and the screensaver is slightly hypnotic.

They had me count down when I had my plate put in. I forget how far I got, but only because that was in the '90s.

An interesting way to try to spin disposable spaghetti code as a positive.

Bullets through water. Physics don’t work that way.

At least we’ve mostly seen an end to people being “blown away”.

Best use of the IP in decades. I don’t hate the other stuff but Andor knocked my socks off.

That’s the thing though - I find that what it saves me in time writing it costs me in reviewing. I hate reviewing.

If it helps kill the damn thing, excellent.

If so, is it any good?

I imagine if one writes janky spaghetti then it’s easy to think that LLMs will result in redundancy. My experience is that they’re like having an over-enthusiastic junior who doesn’t learn. Useful when one can’t be bothered to write something with very limited scope but is quickly out of their depth on anything involved.

So you think that 90-100% of programming jobs WON’T be replaced by AI within a decade?

Stop, stop, I can’t breathe!
