autohotkey is scripts

#

autohotkey you can do complex stuff with, thats why those are called scripts to begin with

subtle pasture Apr 16, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

Uh, no the Blizzard incident had nothing to do what the macros that were programmed, it was the mere fact that it had a keyboard hook loaded into a library

forest edge Apr 16, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

i know

#

thats why i said that was diffrent from this convo

subtle pasture Apr 16, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

And it's a constant game of "whitelist the latest version or accidentally ban a bunch of users"

#

You just said use Synapse 3.0...

#

It's different now?

forest edge Apr 16, 2021, 11:50 PM

#

i said a company banning the use of synapse cause of them trying to detect scripts was diffrent

subtle pasture Apr 16, 2021, 11:50 PM

#

Synapse 3.0 has to hook the keyboard to detect you pushing keys to initiate a macro

forest edge Apr 16, 2021, 11:50 PM

#

you use get banned for certian default mouse drivers a long time ago

subtle pasture Apr 16, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

it has nothing to do weather it runs a macro or a script, the mere fact that Synapse 3.0 was in memory caused the issue

#

His spread increases the longer you fire

The burst-fire macro releases and re-presses the mouse button EXACTLY when the spread starts to increase

This effectively gives you rapid fire with pin-point accuracy, which is unintended

I have a weird off topic... but also kind of on topic question to pose...
First off, I love everything that has to do with Home Assistant. From the simple coding, node red, problem solving, out of the box thinking, etc.
I also love messing around with anything involving technology including messing with my homelab, setting up my network, playing around with docker in unraid, etc.
Say I'm in a career that has nothing to do with the above; and although I wanted to go into something tech based in university when I was a kid, I ended up going into something public facing because I'm a pretty good public speaker.
Say I wanted to make a complete life change and get into tech in some way but have no idea which way to go since there is so much to choose from.
From the (very little) information above, would anyone have any idea what someone like me would both enjoy and potentially be good at?

Weird question, I know. But in my part of the world, we just went into a complete lockdown and I'm starting to have these considerations even more than I ever have.

I will do some testing, but looking at a different alarm system now. Seems that someone made an integration for a system we have available for a good price. Would still use the one I thought for door entry, but use a seperate alarm that can integrate with HA.

There sirens have the ability to report temperature too, by the looks of things

The stuff we used is okay up to alarm class 3 or 4 according to the Swedish standards, 3 is normally what banks use, 4 is more like nuclear power station territory.

But that home stuff I linked isn't as high as class 3 or 4.

Geiger Counter Test Source, Thorium Mantle, scintillator check | eBay

Thorium coated lamp mantles. These do vary in their thorium content depending on the ones I can source and also the design.

Just heard about Logitech killing Harmony... fack

#

And LG killing their entire smartphone business... also fack...

#

There goes the single Logitech product I cared about, AND the single LG product I cared about

#

This is as shit as when Phillips killed amBX by selling it to MadCatz

I can't remember the last time I saw someone with an LG smartphone 😄

subtle pasture Apr 18, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

@deft pewter All the other brands have shitty quirks, so I've kinda stuck with LG...

#

I've had an LG G3, G6, and I'm currently on an LG v35

deft pewter Apr 18, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

I don't think there's such a thing as a perfect phone but I'm happy with my OnePlus 6 still. Only thing I wish it had was wireless charging.

subtle pasture Apr 18, 2021, 8:04 PM

#

Yeah, Qi charging was a requirement for me. lol

deft pewter Apr 18, 2021, 8:04 PM

#

Still considering one of those plugin things you suggested... but the rest of the features on this phone and the price point were great.

The OnePlus 9 Pro supports Qi, finally 😛

#

@dusky plank Windows Phone was what I ran, exclusively, before Android

#

Picked up a Samsung Focus running Windows Phone 7 in 2009

deft pewter Apr 18, 2021, 8:05 PM

#

But the price...

#

I'm not spending close to a grand on a phone.

subtle pasture Apr 18, 2021, 8:05 PM

#

@deft pewter That's also why I kept landing on LG... got a brand new v35 for $120 because it was a year old

#

Flagship specs for under $200. Kinda wild...

#

so you like living to the fullest I see

subtle pasture Apr 18, 2021, 8:07 PM

#

@dusky plank Apparently everything I touch dies after a few years >_>

#

I had a Samsung Focus, a Lumia 900, then a Lumia 920... and they killed Windows Phone

#

LG G3, G6, V35... and they killed all LG phones

#

Which brand should I pick to kill off next? Looks like it just takes 3 handset purchases >_>

dusky plank Apr 18, 2021, 8:09 PM

#

HTC goes down the drain next I heard

subtle pasture Apr 18, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

I was actually thinking of getting another Nokia... but all of their current handsets are actually slower than my current V35
