Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Don't have much use for a protocol droid either.

What I really need is a droid who speaks the binary language of moisture vaporators.

you know, humidity control is one of the few parts of my house that isn’t controlled by a handbuilt Linux system I’ve fastened to the wall

…so what I’m saying is now I’m writing one in nix, yes

We have a protocol droid at home, it's called curl.

Considering the important parts of that, aka the languages can be done by your phone sure. But it would at least have a minimal use. R2 d2 needs special attachments to serve drinks.

The cybertray, competitively priced at 4000$ and the reported risk of it breaking when wet is fairly minimal.
