    source Seems like rather similar options to me?
    But I have to admit to never having used either anyway.






  • I mean, you still need object detection and recognition with lidar, don’t want to stamp on the brakes for a leaf.
    And using only the primary sense of humans does kinda make sense.

    still think it’s tough call. Would be great if you don’t need it. And don’t know how expensive it would have been, especially at the start for all the people needing the hardware but not actually getting the use out of it.

    otoh the only really successfull company in the space - waymo - uses it, that seems like a really strong sign






  • Yup, that was what I understood it to be, I’ll admit to just skimming the article, but it seemed rather directly that?

    Windows 365 is a service that streams a full version of Windows to devices. So far, it’s been limited to just commercial customers, but Microsoft has been deeply integrating it into Windows 11 already. A future update will include Windows 365 Boot, which will enable Windows 11 devices to log directly in to a Cloud PC instance at boot instead of the local version of Windows. Windows 365 Switch is also built into Windows 11 to integrate Cloud PCs into the Task View (virtual desktops) feature.


  • So if I don’t have an internet connection, I can’t even boot my computer?

    While I personally hate this Idea as well, I have to admit, that there could certainly be rather significant upsides for users.
    Cheap Chromebook-like Laptops, but can run Video Games, Video Encodings, Finite Element Analyses, Computational Fluid Dynamics etc no problem. “Your” PC can be accessible from your phone in a Pinch.
    You open a weird Link and got a Virus? No problem, just roll back your “PC”
    Your home floods/burns down? All the images from your children are still safe.
    Never being bothered by needing a hardware upgrade.


  • Quite a while ago, I used motion.
    It’s fairly basic, but did all that I needed. It’s standalone, so no integration with home-assistant, at least not to my memory.

    I seem to remember that there is something that builds up on motion, and I dimly remember a web-interface, but can’t find the package right now.

    Maybe an okay starting point, if no-one points out something better







  • I consider Apple to be one of the most evil corporations out there, but it appears that my interpretation of “evilness” seema to coincide with size a lot.
    so maybe i just don’t like (stupidly) successfull companies.

    Anyway, I think Apple locks people in their very nice walled garden and in that garden uses a lot of public infrastructure (like open source software, but also other open services on the net), and gives comparatively very little back to the community.

    and they do it, because they think it propably makes slightly more money.

    Which is also the reason I don’t trust their privacy promises at all, since they can’t prove many of them.

    Apple could be an enormous force for good, but to me it feels like they care more about making 0.5% more money to put into their hoard.

    Terrible company, I do believe the world would be better if it vanished.
