Even Google products have a longer lifespan 😖

I've since moved on to Tidal. Bought it at $30 when root mods started to be developed, but never really went anywhere.

...I just put a Zigbee contact sensor on my mailbox lid and called it a day...

alphapuggle ,

As a Thinkpad user since the early 2000s, I'm extremely excited to see this news after I've slowly watched all of my repair & upgrade ability be removed.

Not sure if you're referring to telegram or signal. If you're referring to signal:

Is it private? Can I trust it? - Signal Support

Signal conversations are always end-to-end encrypted, which means that they can only be read or heard by your intended recipients. Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time.

The complete source code for the Signal clients and the Signal server is available on GitHub. This enables interested parties to examine the code for security and correctness.

I just moved into a house with my friend and he gave me full reign to smart home the house. Every light has an Innr Zigbee bulb, which are great for having colors during parties and color temperature throughout the day (Adaptive Lighting in HACS), as well as motion controls in the hallway (which has a broken 2 way switch) and kitchen. The front porch light turns on when I come home if I'm on foot, and the back porch light comes on if I'm driving. The lights in the living room turn down if something's playing and it pauses if I leave the room. We've got an old android tablet I stole from the trash on the kitchen wall for a shopping list as well as an overview of the house. They washer and dryer have vibration sensors so we get an alert on our Google homes when our load is finished (we're both forgetful as fuck). I had an extra contact sensor left over from the doors that I put on the mailbox, so we get a nice AOL "you've got mail" when the mailman comes.

Frankly I don't know how I survived without automation. I forget things so much less now.

I have a similar thing, it just sends me a notification to my phone on Tuesday night and it won't let me clear it unless I mark the trash as taken out

Installed neon on an external drive. Liked it so much I cloned it to my internal drive. Spent 4 hours trying to diagnose why I was being dropped to a grub shell every time I tried to boot. Apparently the bootloader ID was fine being "neon" on the external drive but had to be "Ubuntu" on the internal drive or grub wouldn't find it. Fucking infuriating, but I like plasma 6!

If you don't want to buy a domain you can try a reverse DNS lookup, your ISP may already give you one. Mine was C-XX-XX-XX-XX.hsd1.pa.comcast.net and I could get a let's encrypt certificate with that. I did end up buying a domain but it was good for personal use

Sengled wifi lightbulbs not keeping color settings?

Hey all, hoping I can gain some insight into an issue I'm having with my sengled lightbulbs. Basically I have two scenes set up in HAS, one "default" scene that has all the lights at 100% brightness with soft white and another that is for movies that turns off all the light except two and modifies the color value to be a more...

alphapuggle ,

Avoid Sengled. I switched to Innr Zigbee bulbs for repeater functionality & they're better than the Sengleds in every way (except price, like $25/bulb but it's worth it)

alphapuggle ,

Not the original question, but if you have just a normal "Nest Thermostat" (Not learning or E) it has matter support and you can add it over matter without paying $5

I can load a pirated copy onto a modded console, does that mean that Nintendo is liable for their software being used for piracy?

This is just so we can get pictures of the moon vampires

In America I just use my buddy Carl. He's also my doctor.

LocalTuya on HACS, it's a bit of a pain to setup and requires you to make a tuya dev account (free) but as far as I can tell you can delete it after, it's just to get the security keys to actually control the devices, and then issue them locally. My devices were much more responsive after doing so

Apple absolutely can do some great things, but I cannot overlook their anti-consumer practices towards the right to repair. The fact that aftermarket parts have to reuse a chip for the sole reason of marking the serial number the same as the original is ridiculous and should be illegal.

Also Apple devices are only more "private" in the sense that the prevent third parties from collecting your data (don't get me wrong, this is great), but then proceed to go and collect the same data for their own uses instead.

Another baffling thing I found is that you can't transfer files from the device if iCloud is enabled? That's fucking crazy to me. I get that it's not a common thing to do but I had multiple customers ask how they'd get something off, and the answer was to slowly download it from the cloud, if it was something that happened to be backed up.
