love this #Tea life hack

@derPUPE Antwort auf die Frage was man mit einem alten Raspberry Pi 1 noch anfangen kann

@derPUPE looks like they rigged a CD drive to open and pull out the tea bag after a specified period of time. I see a raspberry pi to the left there that is presumably controlling it.

@derPUPE automated tea bagging.

@derPUPE @catsalad careful, that optical drive is now unobtanium now that both LG and Pioneer stopped making drives

@derPUPE

The teabag should be left in the cup!

Some prefer that because it makes for a stronger brew, but for me it’s the wakeup call that comes from getting teabagged by the teabag at the end of the cup.

@derPUPE Heh!

...your image description isn't "AI" slop, is it? Because (and I only realized this after staring at it for a bit) that's clearly a DVD drive, and it'd make way more sense to put "a DVD drive" (or whatever) in the description instead of hedging it like that.

(if you did actually write it yourself, oops sorry! Lots of people have been using LLMs for their image descriptions lately so I tend to be suspicious...)

@derPUPE i have to ask though... What starts the timer? Is it a terminal or API request to start it and after a few minutes the eject command is sent, or would one rely on the boot up speed of the SBC itself which runs eject on successful startup (which just so happens to be about the right time), so just plugging it in is all that's needed?

@derPUPE great

@derPUPE Is that AI alt-text or just written by a young person?

@agirvan It's more than that! If you mount it horizontally instead of vertically, it's also a cup holder!

@derPUPE

@derPUPE alt aber gut.

@derPUPE

Ein Foto, kein Video, nicht mal ein Gif??

Mutig, echt 🤨

@derPUPE the drive's seen some wild stuff, man

@derPUPE

I am still trying to figure out what the over-clocked device being used as the cup warmer might be… maybe a Nuc?

@derPUPE You're using the coffee cup holder to make tea?

@derPUPE Super Idee, ich habe noch 12 Stück alte DVD-Laufwerke rumliegen. Brauche nur noch die Zeitschalter.
