DIY Folks from India, what kind of indoor air quality monitoring system do you use? I’m looking for something which works with Home Assistant and preferably without battery or with battery bypass when connected to power.

Movie Poster for You Commission available on Ko-fi.com

I also used to make custom movie posters for twitter mutuals, and I can offer that as commission too - so check this out: ko-fi.com/c/a813acf765

Sure, I will buy the digital art from you and will print it myself. So I'll DM you what I like?

Btw, next update of Open Payment Host - github.com/abishekmuthi... can help you sell digital files in India without having to pay any commission, I'll be happy to help you set it up.

Is there an India equivalent for your art on InPrint?

Sigh, the guilt I feel when asking for help is so overwhelming that I have to make sure I offer something in return.

So maybe check the links and pick something up.

/part but then package it as a python application.

It's more of a failure of other programming languages like Go, Rust which didn't develop simple ecosystem for the developers to build UI for their applications, even when their packaging and deployment is far superior to Python.

I have nothing against Python programming language personally but I'm loosing my 💩 every time I see a python application getting bottle-necked because its using a single CPU process; Especially when its a Machine Learning application, as the developers put tremendous effort in optimizing the ML\

AI for generating 2D animations I made an animation for an app and made AI recreate them.

And if you're curious about how I created these animations, checkout my blog - abishekmuthian.com/ai-for-gener...

Can you identify which animation was created manually and rate the animation from your favorite to least favorite? Most favored animation will become the post-review animation for @memoryhammer.bsky.social

Out of these animations I created one manually then I realized life as a person with disabilities is time-constrained as is and so others were AI generated using both local and cloud models such as FramePack, Wan2.2, Hailuo_AI (not in order).

Mr. Scatman, is that you?

Everytime I write a blog, I try to host the videos locally only to later realize that it doesn't work for everyone and then upload the videos to YouTube.

Even if I use video_js, Cloudflare f*cks it up

It's 2025 and its still a mystery on what kind encoding should a video file be to be able to played across all browsers using HTML video tag.

Oh mp4/h264 will be handled automatically they say, but never have I had success in getting the mp4 file to play across all browsers and Operating Systems.

Our little green corner got light treatment.

Are you second guessing yourself more often these days?

It could be because you've become so dependent upon AI that you're forgetting your hard earned skills.

Use Memory Hammer's AI (memoryhammer.com) to retain and build new skills instead of loosing them.

Apple has tightened battery supply chain so original batteries are not available to the 3rd party repair folks anymore. Only shady batteries are there & iFixit doesn't ship batteries to India.

For android phones I just replace batteries at official repair centers.

Batteries are the Achilles heel.

I'm not sure whether EU repair law or the upcoming user-replaceable covers wearables. But I guess Apple wouldn't explicitly claim their product is not repairable.

Did the Desis crash it by sending Diwali wishes?

I feel non user-replaceable batteries are being exploited by the manufacturers to prevent repairs. I hope India brings in similar regulation as EU to enforce easily replaceable batteries.

The watch is completely functional, all requires is a battery change and gluing the display back. They'd have to remove the display anyways for changing the battery 🤷‍♂️

Apple straight away refused to repair the watch even if I'm willing to pay 10 grand for the battery because the display is detached and they said 'Apple Watch are non-repairable product'!

I've been buying only used phones and watches for several years now to take them off e-Waste. Recently my Apple Watch display came off, probably because the battery has bulged the seller - Cashify (
India)has no repair service for the watches they sell (with their battery) and

Weirdly, while Linux dominates in deep learning workloads for servers; support for Web GPU in Linux desktop web browsers are abysmal or non-existent 👇🏾 .

Forcing the customers to use only Chrome browsers on Windows for a local AI product is just moving from one monopoly to another.

data-hungry large language models for simple tasks.

Great progress has been made towards running language models in web browsers by Joshua Lochner and @hf.co through transformer js but seems to be limited by the browser support for Web GPU.

It will give a fair chance to other GPU vendors for inference as its not dependent upon the Nvidia's CUDA.

Developers can focus on building small task specific models which can run directly in the browsers of the consumers with local data instead of relying on power and

I strongly believe WebGPU is the answer for many of the issues plaguing AI now from monopoly of Nvidia in compute, data & privacy to environmental impact of the massive data centers for AI.

Since WebGPU enables access to GPU for the web applications on browsers,
