Too much tech for me, I alway French Press my coffee on the go in a more ecologic way.

I do cowboy coffee now. Mix finely ground with hot water, stir ot, it settles in a couple minutes, pour off liquid. Way easier.

Coffee was also the name of the first OnlyFans model to use a Webcam.

Oh I like this. It’s on the cusp of being fake or fact. I’m never going to fact check and I don’t want to know.

Sorry but webcams are older than OF. There would have been many OF models that were already doing webcamming.

There was even an entire standards document drawn up (as a practical joke), called the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP 1.0). To this day though, there the server status response 418 - I’m a teapot still exists. It was defined as part of HTCPCP as the error code returned when you tried to get a teapot to brew coffee :)
Web nerds took their coffee seriously! Or maybe they didn’t? Does doing up an entire standards document as an april fools joke count as serious or unserious?

Humorous RFCs and protocol proposals are an ancient internet tradition: en.wikipedia.org/…/April_Fools'_Day_Request_for_C…
Engineering humour of this sort actually goes back even further – en.wikipedia.org/…/April_Fools'_Day_Request_for_C…
Nerdy humour has probably been around as long as there have been engineers.

Geeking out over the origins of HTTP 418 kinda got me a job once. But that was back when that kind of stuff, connecting interpersonally with the humans that you work with, mattered during hiring.

You could’ve stopped right there and it would’ve still made sense, which is sad.

Isn’t that also where “HTTP 418: I’m a teapot” came from?

Though that could have been a reference, iirc that was an unrelated April fools RFC that was filed as a partial complaint people were creating overly specific http status codes

I have a camera aimed at my stove so I can check if I accidentally left the stove on. It never happens but it does give me peace of mind whenever I leave the hoose and get paranoid.
alekwithak@lemmy.world 47 minutes ago
Maybe someone mentioned this, but I’m sure there’s a million ways to tackle this task through Home Assistant and a cheap sensor. That way you get passive notifications instead of having to actively check.

Why do modern stoves/ovens have in multiple ways problematic smart stuff, but no proximity sensors?
idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
My stove is a dumb stove. But I’d imagine the reason they dont have it on a smart stove is often times you need to leave things to cook for a while. Eg. Pasta, stews, soups, etc.
night_petal@piefed.social 2 hours ago
An oven is one of the few things I can actually see having an app for being useful. Preheating the oven remotely and getting notified when it is ready sounds really useful.

Tangentially, I often wonder if technology has increased paranoia.
I can imagine someone worried about people following them might notice a lot more ear pieces, or if the increased knowledge of them has made that kind of fear decrease.
justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours ago
I was thinking to install a “smart” power outlet for the very same purpose, but stoves don’t have exactly standard plugs ;)
Then again, we just moved to a flat with induction stove, where it’s not really a big deal.
idunnololz@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Our stove is gas unfortunately. It came with the place and it’s wasteful to replace it if it works so I’m stuck with it for a while :/

The Trojan Room coffee pot camera existed before the web existed. Before the web it was a client/server protocol on a local network. They only made it into a webcam after the web was invented and started supporting images.
What I remember is that when the first web browsers capable of displaying images were launched, people found a way to sample a single frame from a camera and load it into an image tag to get an extremely slow frame rate camera. People had been trying to make video calling a thing since the 1960s, and I think the first “webcams” were new attempts to demonstrate that. They basically came out at the same time as XCoffee being available on the Internet, but they had more publicity behind them. IMO, what made the coffee pot special was that it was so clearly useless to everybody except a few people in a lab in Cambridge. It was revolutionary that bandwidth and camera hardware was so cheap that someone could allow anybody on the planet to just check out the level of their coffee machine on demand at any time.

I don’t, but this one is a comfy space. Not too much visual clutter like pseudo-shadows and also more accessible than most modern themes.

Yet another invention driven by laziness.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 28 minutes ago
Personally, I prefer laziness as a motivator over greed. It’s much more likely to lead to low maintenance solutions that still keep maintenance as an option over replacement.
Though I’ve curated my laziness to the point where I’ll do chores out of laziness becuase I know they’ll be more work later.
But I’d also spend 2 days writing a script to avoid spending 2 hours doing something tedious.
