Oh yeah… RAM and SSD are upgraded in those systems. At least the GMK cubes. I use those as clients for the media server. Delightfully easy too, the top just pulls off, SSD and RAM are right there.
Some models have EMMC storage that isn’t upgradeable but they also have an SSD.
A CCD is generally one of two types of camera/imaging device. I was kinda being as ass, like point a camera at the countdown on your washing machine.
That said, I’m reasonably certain I’ve seen something on the HA forum where someone did exactly that. Frigate NVR to dump a screenshot every few seconds and OCR app to create an actionable counter in HA.
I just used zigbee and put a repeater right next to the fridge. The big ass coin cells in the sonoff temp sensors are lasting around 6 months. Would probably be longer but I have the sensor with a screen in there.
Obviously YMMV if you have a SubZero or something, but in my jankey LG it works fine.
That sucks… but you hit the nail on the head at the end. He doesn’t have much choice, he’s surrounded by it, marinated in it… it will always be easier to choose hate and ignorance. Understanding and compromising take work, MAGA lets you hate almost anything and still be welcomed.
Sorry, I was confused by the small armory strapped to his beer belly.
