Table to put driving setup on: €20
Cable (USB 3.2, 3m) to VR reliably: €16

idk if this says smth about how cheap tables are or how expensive cables are

apparently city car driving 2 releases next month, will be interesting to try that out. wonder if they'll have wonky german again.

we built a whole ass setup to practice driving over the weekend :D

logitech G29 (steering wheel + stick shift + pedals) + quest 2 + city car driving (simulator)

reducing the need to have extra lessons for driver's licenses should pay for it many times over hopefully

is AI conscious? is AI conscientious? does AI have a conscience? is AI contentious? is AI conscionable? and other words you can mix up to get your enemies in online arguments to answer the wrong questions to make them look foolish

@elexia @tammeow Yeah, stuff like the old ICs get pretty stuffy, especially if they have the AC break. Here's an IC Amsterdam->Berlin where AC broke and we got toasted alive.

Masking was definitely a good idea

@elexia @tammeow trains are generally rather reasonable, but it's a trade off as it's medium-high CO2 levels with strangers (which may swap around between stops) for quite a long time.
planes tend to get worse CO2 on the ground though tend to run HEPA filters at least in the air, but there's the benefit of it being a fixed set of strangers for a shorter timeframe.
wonder how bad intercity buses get.

@tammeow I ended up using https://blog.maxaller.name/engineering/2025/08/10/thread-matter-home-assistant-docker.html as I run home assistant in docker to not have to dedicate an entire raspberry pi to it.

If you go that route and get a ZBDongle-E, you might want to see my comment here: https://github.com/ownbee/hass-otbr-docker/issues/23#issuecomment-3993029920

Thread/Matter with Home Assistant Docker: Yes, It Actually Works

Getting Thread/Matter working with Home Assistant Docker using ownbee/hass-otbr-docker and proper network configuration.

occasionally useful
@tammeow You can do that, yeah.
Adding devices to the network still requires using your phone usually (HA appears to have a developer option to enroll from the webUI but I haven't tested it and the messaging around that button is pretty discouraging).
You need to use the home assistant app to sync the thread keys to your phone (once), then your phone can be used to enroll devices through normal means, which also signals home assistant at the very end that the device has been added.
@tammeow we also open the windows more than once a week, but especially getting it down to near-outside levels of CO2 indoors takes quite a bit of time if the sensor isn't close to the window that you're opening.
