Are there any programmable digital picture frames?

Not sure where I ask, I figure here might be good.

I want a digital picture frame that has some sort of API to update. I'm not picky on what as long as I can add and remove content from code. Like an actual Dropbox App integration would be fine too, where whatever files I put in a folder automatically get added to the rotation. Most of them I've seen are along the lines of "login to this terrible web site to manage pictures" or "pull out SD card or plug computer to frame to update".

I don't even mind hosting, like if I give a URL that returns a list of other images to rotate through or something. Fine, that works.

I am aware I could do this with a Pi and any LCD, but I would like a single hardware unit that someone else makes pretty.

  • Competitions. In college I did the ACM ICPC and trained hard with my schools programming team.

    These days I do advent of code, which will start on Dec 1. But you can go fo previous years now. It is great.

  • Correct use of pot handle?
  • I think the picture is unclear somehow, the spoon is over the pot so it isn't shifting the center of mass outward.

  • People seem to expect a lot of wild action over an active stovetop. That hasn't so much been my experience....I mean after college.

  • That is the best compliment I've gotten in a while.

  • Why would anything be swinging over a hot stove?

    I think the hole in the pot handle works great as a place to set the spoon. My friend thinks this should be illegal.

    Fisker debuts an entire range of new EVs, including one sub-$30,000
  • I would absolutely take that trade-off. I don't need a lot of range.

  • Interesting. I have no stats. Do you have any idea how many miles or how many charge/discharge cycles you've done?

  • Fisker debuts an entire range of new EVs, including one sub-$30,000
  • Yeah, you can outsource key parts of your business but absolutely need to keep your eyes on it. We won't know if they are on it or not for a while.

  • I am not buying an EV until they are using LFP batteries. LiFePo4 have so much more life...I really don't want to be replacing huge banks of lithium ion in 5 years.

    Some manufacturers seem to be getting on board with this. Disappointing that hedge clipper (what I know Fisker for) here isn't one of them. Sorry..that is Fiskar, a totally different company.

  • Three Body Problem (Netflix)
  • Before looking at the trailer, I was expecting a complete white wash without any of the Chinese history. But after seeing that, I have some hope that it is faithful. We shall see.

  • Hard times
  • Ha, yeah. I like it when I set off the alarms at stores and then ask, you want to look at my stuff? They just wave and say, naw, your good. Couldn't get caught if I tried.

  • Any other Chapterhouse/Heretics of Dune fans?
  • Yeah, shit got weird but I'm.into it.

    Never build a big building without planting the trees for the replacement beams.

  • Heh, the blackberries will do fine regardless of what I want. I wasn't trying to take them, some just got mixed in.

  • It is mixed in with some blackberries..there are some losses in the process. Fortunately blackberries thrive on abuse.

  • SILO TV Series discussion + Book series worth reading?
  • I haven't watched the show yet but the books were very good.

    The author came out of no where and self published on Amazon. Now he just boats around without a shirt. Occasionally he docks, finds a shirt and signs some books.

    (I follow him on Instagram...only exaggerated slightly)

  • Little computers? Who do people like?
  • That is actually pretty solid. Ordered one.

  • Little computers? Who do people like?
  • Expensive is a little bit a problem. Mostly I don't want to spend money.

    I'm going to try a Zimaboard for the backup server. It should be fine. I might need a USB hub but whatever, performance isn't a wiggle there.

  • Little computers? Who do people like?
  • I'm not allowed to go places or do things. That isn't a bad idea though.

  • Little computers? Who do people like?

    I have two systems that I need to replace. One is my backup server, which runs FreeBSD and uses some USB attached drives. Really that could be done with anything that is like a Pi, except amd64/x86.

    The other is my pfSense router. It is having some hardware issue, which isn't surprising, I pulled parts out of my scrap pile to make it. For that, I need something that can take an pcie card for my dual 10g network card. Does anyone have any ITX or smallish machines they like? Actual smallness doesn't matter so much as not being expensive.

    How do people go about finding things these days? I used to use newegg, but mostly now it seems to be a trap of accidentally ordering parts from the moon. Amazon is fine if you know exactly what you want already. Pcpartspicker works well, if you are building a full system from parts (which I do for bigger machines) but I don't know where to get barebones boxes.

    Will someone buy me this damn candy and ship it to me?

    Ok, there is this candy (pictured) which is Family Foods International brand Coconut Candy (the green bag). It is very much not fancy but also very much hard to find on the mainland.

    Would someone be willing to go to the store, buy about 10 bags and mail them to me in Washington state?

    I'll pay up front with Zelle or ETH or BCH or Monero or even (Paypal). Happy to pay cost of product plus shipping plus $50 for your troubles.

    Finally beat SE. I'm done.

    This was a long slog. 45k cargo rockets.

    Rescue Refueling Operation

    The big ship got pulled away in a vortex so was nearly out of fuel. It ran to the nearest star and waited for the fast shuttle to meet it there and bring it more.

    If anyone sees this, the answer is probably yes. I can't tell if this thing is working.
