@BillDA Great project and use case. Now, collect the sensor data and graph it over time. See if it's actually doing what it says it should. What are you using as the main hub?

I was quoted $10,000 to install two dehumidifiers in my crawlspace. I saved $7,500 by designing a DIY custom crawl space dehumidification system with Claude 🤑 I am not an HVAC professional. Here’s how I did it. Our story begins with the discovery that our new home needed a dehumidifier installed in the crawl space to prevent mold. The professionals told me it would cost $10k, since I’d need one unit on each end due to the size of the space, plus a second drain line installed. “Can’t we just use fans to move the humid air from one side toward the dehumidifier?” They wouldn’t do that. Enter Claude… I uploaded a floor plan of my crawl space and air volume dimensions, telling Claude what I was trying to do. It researched the best dehumidifier sized appropriately for my air volume (100 pints apparently). Found me the best price - $1,500. Now it was time for fans 💨 I had originally envisioned the single dehumidifier at one end of the space, with fans on the opposite end. Claude taught me that would just draw more moist outdoor air in through the vents on that side, creating a linear flow through the crawl space. Instead it modeled the air flow and suggested a circular vortex with 4 fans, one on each wall, in a circle. That sucks in minimal outdoor air, keeping cool dry air circulating. I told it to research appropriate fans. It found four 20” sealed bearing fans on Amazon (impervious to dust), with DC drive motors (more energy efficient than AC apparently). $120 each. 🔌 It told me to buy a smart plug for each fan and a few internet connected humidity sensors. Another $200. Claude mapped where to install everything in the crawl space. Here’s how it works - the humidity sensors monitor the crawl space air continuously. If it ever exceeds 60% humidity, the smart plugs switch on all 4 fans, circulating the air in the crawl space past the dehumidifier until the humidity is below 50% 🔃🔃🔃 Total cost ~$2,500 for everything and one Saturday of work for me. I saved $7,500 vs. the original quote because I didn’t need two dehumidifiers, and Claude tells me my version is nearly twice as energy efficient. Plus I learned a ton about my home and had fun. I didn’t know anything about dehumidifiers, fans, or air flow dynamics before starting. AI can do so much more than write code - the applications are endless.

@jakkuh_t Real feedback: You need an advisor/trusted colleague/etc. To review these emotional videos and tweets before you press send. This kind of stuff does more harm than good. I get it, your channel = you. However, if you want to grow your channel, this isn't how you do it.

@RaidOwlTweets Used to watch every video. Now I have a tough time even pressing play on most of them. Excited about the tech house they are working on. Turns out @AlexTheGreatish and @jakkuh_t were the main reasons I watched previously. Their own channels are great.

@MikeCalcara That’s easy. The Pontiac Trans Am WS6. Got this exact model right after I graduated high school. T Tops. Six speed. No traction control. Like any18 year old I installed the loudest catbsck ever made.

If you could bring back one discontinued model, what would it be? Every car that disappears leaves a few fans heartbroken, usually for good reason. Some were ahead of their time. Others were killed off for poor sales, and not poor performance. Here’s a tip if you’re shopping for one: Discontinued models often hold their value worse than their replacements, but that can work in your favor if you’re buying used. Less demand can lead to a better deal. So, what car would you bring back?

@MikeCalcara What did they end up with? We have a GX460 that my wife loves. However, the 3rd row really isn't usable.

A busy family needed a 3-row SUV, under $70K, and in their driveway by the end of the month. I narrowed it down to three solid choices. We talked through each of them in 30 minutes. A few weeks later they were road-tripping in the winner. Simple, clean process. Exactly what buying a family car should feel like.

@jakkuh_t Recently found Minisforum on Slickdeals. Snagged a MINISFORUM BD790i X3D for a Terra ITX build. I'm really impressed with how it turned out, especially considering the price point.

@theisaacmed I almost migrated a list of over 4 million emails, which accounted for a significant percentage of the brand's revenue, to Sendlane. Luckily, @Listrak (existing provider) came back with some great pricing. So we stuck with them. Dodged a major bullet!

I migrated to sendlane last year and it went badly. Good news for us is we had one foot still in Klaviyo so we could just switch back within a few days. Sendlane just wasn't proven enough. And if we had botched the transition by not having Klaviyo as a backup, it could have done real harm.

I think ecom businesses should be slow adopters of new software when attacking a cost center and fast adopters when chasing new opportunities.

Google’s new Nano Banana Pro turns a single product photo into $1,000-level image ads in under 3 minutes. No designers. No revisions. No $3k–$5k retainers. I paired it with one custom GPT and now my ads look like the biggest DTC brands for £0. Should I drop the exact prompt + model link before they force Google to shut it down?” Google Nano Banana Pro +my custom GPT prompt = better ads than 99% of agencies, in 2 minutes 47 seconds. reply “BANANA” if you want the prompt before I get sued 😂🍌”

Apple Mail. Gmail. iOS notifications. They all show 90-140 characters of preview text. And most brands use this space for… “Can’t see this email? View in browser” “You’re receiving this because you signed up…” A random chunk of code or broken alt text Fix this: Write it like a 1 line pitch for the CTA Better: “3 customers said this changed how they sleep. See why.” “Before you toss that bottle, try this.” “Here’s why our founder stopped using [competitor].” The subject line gets people get attention. The preview makes them click to open. Don’t waste it on boring filler.

@theisaacmed Learned everything I need to know about flipping items and accounts in EverQuest. In the past, you could sell items on eBay. It was quite lucrative at 15 That turned out to lead me directly into physical ecommerce, which has been my career for the past 20 years.

@RobbieHodge @Tesho13 i lived in a lower income part of town and we made our road private. put a giant barcade in the middle of the road to cut off a new neighborhood. even though it was mostly retired people and lower income, we could raise money to get the road repaved when needed. best road around

There’s tons of neighborhoods like this in South Charlotte Million dollar homes tucked off a main street. One way in, one way out. All roads are dead ends Essentially… long, private driveways that are maintained with public money Taxpayers should not pay for private driveways

@ted_williams Not a "tag your friend for a $50 gift card" type of contest. I'm talking about valuable prizes that people will go out of their way to win. Combine that with an optimized sign-up flow, and you have a valuable subscriber-generating machine. Repeat. Repeat.

@ted_williams Insane numbers. As others have mentioned, plenty of people in your target market (if not most) use Facebook and Instagram daily. They just silently browse vs posting, which creates that imbalance of perspective. Co-op contests with "smart local" brands are your next best source.
