Airplay (and presumably Cast) support require a WiFi connection. I explicitly blocked external connections to mine.

Not to mention the radical cost of living adjustment, renting some hole in the wall just to squeak by.

In PID terms, this is even simpler yet - just a proportional controller. Only the error between the target and current position are acted upon by a single (proportional) gain:

(targetPosition.x - position.x)0.2 == ekP

A derivative term would be applied to the difference between the previous and current error, usually in order temper the rate of change. D terms can be a proper headache in practice, especially if you have any noise in your system...

Your point on HVAC companies not servicing homeowner-purchased systems is worth underlining.

In our case, we need some duct work to fit a 2-ton Mr. Cool system to our existing ducts. Every licensed HVAC contractor/company we've contacted has refused to touch any part of consumer purchased system, citing liability issues (context: Bay Area, CA).

i am thinking to replace one of the hvacs with ducted mr.cool. just curious, what was the needed duct work ?

Wonderfully rendered, in all senses

Thus is the way of the Oracle

I love how HN is extremely skeptical towards Oracle.
