Is it permissible to operate an iRobot on Shabbat?
4+ day, 23+ hour ago (188+ words) Rabbi Menachem Perl, head of the Tzomet Institute, addresses a recurring question in the religious community: is it permissible to operate an iRobot on Shabbat? According to him, it is halachically possible-but only under clear and defined conditions. He explains that operating the iRobot on Shabbat is only allowed if the activation is scheduled in advance, with no intervention from household members during Shabbat. He also recommends setting the suction power so it is not heard from outside the home and scheduling the operation at a time when family members are not moving around, in order to avoid triggering sensors indirectly. Rabbi Perl adds that preparations should be made in advance to clear the area of objects that could interfere with the iRobot's work - such as bags, shoelaces, or small items - to prevent malfunctions that might stop it. However, he…...
I need an alarm for an open window
6+ day, 10+ min ago (141+ words) I often sleep with the windows open in my first floor (UK, i.e., second floor in the US) bedroom. My neighborhood is pretty safe but I'm aware that basically anyone could put a ladder against my house and come in through the open window. I was looking for an alarm I can install on a casement window, but all the ones I can find are triggered by opening the window. I want the alarm to go off if someone tries to come in the window when it's open.I could probably manage a raspberry pi solution (like this), but I was wondering if there was anything off the shelf I might use. I'd also like to be able to put them on multiple windows so a raspberry pi solution could get expensive. I need an alarm for an open window...

I turned Gemini into my personal DJ — here's what worked and what didn't
1+ week, 6+ day ago (946+ words) I've been looking at creative ways to use AI chatbots to solve niche, low-stakes problems I face. I've stumbled across a few of these in the past, such as using Gemini to practice my second language or using NotebookLM to create interactive gaming guides. When reading about how my colleague Stephen wishes Google would bring Gemini to YouTube Music, it inspired my latest experiment " would Gemini be able to address my very picky music taste to provide recommendations I would actually enjoy? I use Spotify for my music streaming, and while the service has an AI DJ, I've never found it very helpful. When it comes to recommendations and the playlists that Spotify generates, I have also had diminishing returns over time. This is down to a few factors. Recommendation algorithms often rely on similar artists and genres to suggest…...
