Op was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

Psiczar ,

Ubiquiti is good, if you have the money. I have an 8TB HDD in my UDM-PRO recording 24/7 the footage from 6 cameras. It isn’t a cheap solution but it works and it’s local.

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't...

Psiczar ,

Who is unsuspecting? I choose to use a iPhone because:

It is a closed ecosystem, a billion apps is enough for me.
I wanted to be able to update the phone for many years
I didn’t want to have preinstalled 3rd party bloatware
I wanted a device that was less prone to malware

Android is a great OS, and it is better in some areas than iOS, but nothing particularly important to me.

Only Americans are concerned about green and blue bubbles. If it’s so upsetting to you, use WhatsApp. Don’t blame Apple because Google couldn’t standardise on a single messaging app for more than 5 minutes.

Using Google devices and pointing at Apple and saying “they’re evil, don’t use them” is laughable. They’re all bad companies, no organisation should be worth trillions.

The picture is bullshit, most people taking voluntary severance would be giving each other high-five’s and pumping the air.

Psiczar ,

“Could”. I’m sure it’s a fucken certainty.

Psiczar ,

Instead of Alphabet, they should’ve called the company Undertakers, because they’ve got a lot of experience dealing with dead apps and services.

Psiczar ,

Immich, is probably what you’re thinking of.

Psiczar ,

Someone call 911, Grimace has been murdered!

Psiczar ,

Been there done that. I prefer the Nvidia Shield, easier interface to navigate with a remote, I don’t have to login first, it rarely needs an update, no noisy fans, I don’t need to keep a physical keyboard connected to it, it’s way cheaper, I don’t need to mess around with codecs, and there aren’t a lot of unnecessary services and background applications hogging memory and cpu resources.

I get that most of this can be fixed or worked around on a htpc, but that’s effort I don’t have to spend on a Shield.

Psiczar ,

I run a Pihole, no ads.

Psiczar ,

I am using the default launcher and while I get ads for TV shows in the home screen, I do not get ads for third-party products like chicken wraps. I can also watch Youtube without getting third-party ads during or in-between videos. I assume given this is not BS, the ads are not being served from the same domain as the video.

Psiczar ,

I’m constantly amazed at people who whine about Apple, if you don’t like their products or their business model, vote with your wallet and buy Android. Don’t try and hack the system, then bitch when they close the exploits. Apple aren’t the first to lockout compromised hardware and they won’t be the last.

Psiczar ,

As opposed to what? What’s a big boy phone?

Psiczar ,

Nice! I need to get me one of these.

Automating roller blinds

I have 2 windows/doors in my living room which have 3 roller blinds each (6 in total) that I'm in the process of automating. I have purchased and installed 1 Zigbee motor that goes inside the tube that can lift 4kg using 0.8nm of torque, this is working well and I want to buy the rest. A couple of the blinds are longer and I am...
