Pixel 3 is actually a downgrade from the V35...
pretty much all oled tvs are LG panels
Same SoC, smaller battery, less RAM, shittier camera, smaller screen, etc.
just saying, it offers all those things
Except it's worse in every way than my current phone. lol
The V35 is still supported, and runs very-nearly stock Android because LG wanted to get updates out faster 🤷♀️
well glad you got a future proof phone
It'll last about as long as a Pixel 3. lol
I doubt that lol
I still get all the latest as it comes out lol
before other manufactures to boot
These phones were literally released the same year... lol...
May 2018 for the V35 and October 2018 for the Pixel 3
yea but you know who owns one and who owns the other 😉
No wonder they use the same SoC
I have no idea what this means
Oh, you're right, Google owns the other... fuck Google >_>
Samsung was definitely a downgrade
I'm going back to Huawei next time
Or maybe I'll go Xiaomi or pocophone
I actually miss my galaxy s2 lol
Oh, no. Chinese spais!
Huawei and Redmi are basically non-options because they lack WiFi calling in the US
norwegian backing the wrong company.. what a shock...
@subtle pasture yeah, only a us problem I guess, but the whole telecom situation there is bonkers 🤣
Huawei is tarnished in the us lol
Carriers require you run their branded ROM in order to use WiFi calling, so yeah...
If they don't want to support a phone, they just... don't...
That would be illegal here
I have this apple phone... since more than 12 years
@clear ferry The government chains them to a desk and forces them to release a ROM for every phone, ever?
That's the good thing about paperweights, they're good forever.
We just use the international ROM on everything
Something something standards something
I'm pretty sure we have this situation because each carrier has their own patented standard, so there's no way for it to be integrated into a single ROM without the OEM paying for it
So why don't they just unify? Oh, right... money.
I have WiFi calling across Europe
Good for you, lol
Guess I didn't have it when I was in the us then
I still can't buy the Redmi phone I wanted because it'd be non-functional in my house, which is a massive 4G deadzone
then your privacy laws don't mean jack lol
Standardisation doesn't mean lower privacy.
depends on the rom
in most cases the only differences is the different bands being turned off but because of modern laws now those differences include various options/features being altered depending on country
in huawei's case it was about privacy issues
and the international versions didn't cut anything out lol
er should i say global
Privacy or 'privacy'? We all know the US and China aren't getting along well right now.
these companies don't make "special" us versions just to screw with one country, what happens is a country finds something that goes against it's laws and that company has a choice between offering an altered os version or just not be sold in that country period
happens in eu all the time
infact for the last 2 years you read more about stuff violating eu law more than anywhere else
these companies don't make "special" us versions just to screw with one country
Who even suggested they do?
what happens is a country finds something that goes against it's laws and that company has a choice between offering an altered os version or just not be sold in that country period
So... the US sanctions against 'Chinese spyware'?
Nope. Not been reading that 🤷♂️
Lol, this again? You're always bragging about how you don't need to know anything that happens outside of the US - now that a discussion involves knowing something about the EU, you suddenly claim to read international news 😂
We have TAA firmware for a lot of switches, the only difference with the international firmware is that it is compiled in the US
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
bragging?
I was trying to put a positive spin on it so you can save face. If you'd rather I went with 'clueless', I'd be happy to oblige.
Anyway... this started out as a sensible discussion. I'm done.
by the usual engineers using a compile server from their usual desks?

networking devices have always needed a us version for as long as I can remember

@midnight adder , read the channel topics. There is no support in this channel. Also, a simple google of yaml checker produces
Validate and Verify your YAML documents, optimized for Ruby on Rails
As well as .format
To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks. Here's an example
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.
For over 15 lines you must use a code share site such as https://paste.ubuntu.com/ or https://www.hastebin.com/.

ok thx
Woo, less than 100 kWh away from flipping my all-time net power consumption from the grid negative 🥳
it's spring.. that will change shortly lol
Heh, not really a problem here. Our solar production doesn't peak until July
Lol, we broke the graph for Monthly Hours of Sunshine
Of course, it can also get up to 111°F / 44°C in July... so that's a bit of a trade-off >_>
A/C will be earning its keep, for sure
thats what I was referring to

the cyber security training we have is quite "interesting"
"you take the train home, you know your competetive company has also been on the same train today, you find a usb key laying around, should you a) plug in the usb and see what is on it, b) leave the usb key"
Obviously it's c) take it home with you and plug it an airgapped machine.
or d) ship it in the mail to @clever mortar
Or even e) bribe the competitor
I'll collect anybody's random USB sticks...
Best usb stick story I ever will have
had a system... 10 years ago or so, in the middle of the schticks in Norway, in winter, had a flaw that only an engineering FW could fix
engineering refuses to send the file to the customer, needs a tech onsite, downloaded the file, drove 5hours in snowstorms to get there and install it in the evening
forgot the USB stick there
In theory I could probably just have sent it by mail courier there and done it remotely, but murica rules
like when our customer facing servers with our firmwares were down, and I had an offline sftp-server with all the stuff on it anyway, and shared that with a customer that needed the file for immediate remidation
US manager go
Customer satisfaction > stupid rules
@subtle pasture ppl start complaning about the heat at around ~15C (59F) here.
Its been pretty sunner here too.
Heh, we keep the house at like 75F most days...
59🤔. That’s freezing cold 🤣
Yeah, I'd be bundled up at 59...
59F is a nice office temperature
Sweden's had pretty extreme weather as of late (expectedly). As the Golf ström becomes more and more unstable, temps start to sway.
our last 2 summers have seen temps in the 38 C region. Something unheard of just a few years ago. Winters are also colder (for now).
my office is currently 32.9c
Im not a native swede and have a very high tolerance for temp gradients. So yea, pretty cold imo. But the swedes suffer.
.c2f 33
33 degrees celsius = 91.4 degrees fahrenheit!
17 degrees celsius = 62.6 degrees fahrenheit!
91 is a proper temp.
were expecting 40C summers and -40 C winters
I can’t think of anything that 59 is good for 🤣
.c2f 11
11 degrees celsius = 51.8 degrees fahrenheit!
well.. im expecting, based on the data. Everyone else seems to think it'll "return to normal"
.c2f -40
-40 degrees celsius = -40 degrees fahrenheit!
Well, yes, but which normal - the old one, or the new one 😛
-35 winters and +35 summers have been the norm here for the last 10+ years
Oh yea, forgot it aint linear
50 degrees Fahrenheit here now also. Waiting for it to warm up to go for a run
It'll be a shitshow around here.
once it hits
50F is warm...
We do fine here 🤷
and it'll keep going until it gets so goddamn warm ppl have to migrate
to where ? the temperatures are the same in the northern most parts of scandinavia
you'll have to go to svalbard or sibir
and than that'll happen in all other regions. We see it first as our climate is a direct result of the GolfStröm
My blood is apparently very thin 🤣
Swedes talking about the Golfström, ha, sorry, norwegians will take that for you
yoink
Eh, you can keep it 😛
just a small blimp in the grand scheme of things
The Amoc, now thats the important one

you ever find a hidden control panel in your home? Lived here for eight years and I realized that this thing opens up..
You mean a programmable timer has a panel to program it? 😮
I didn't know that it was a timer. :p
Not many people put tiny, unreadable clocks on their walls 😄
It's hooked up to the exhaust fan in the adjacent bathroom, it turns out - and explains why I could only turn the fan off at the breaker
How have you been controlling your heating schedule until now?
I was looking at occupancy sensors on sale when I remembered seeing that odd little panel in the other room and started wondering.. 😄
back of a closet that I've been using for storage, it's been hidden behind a large box the whole time
Fairly well hidden then
What in tarnation
I found in-floor heating after four years.
When the contractor put a saw through it and the breaker tripped.
What in tarnation
In my defense, the thermostat was in another room, and the on/off button was not working, so I just thought it was a lazy electician who put it there to cover a hole.
That's how the electricians found my gas and heating pipes...
Thankfully the gas pipe just got the paint taken off it. The heating pipe... not so much
My aircon control panel only has 2 wires
I just had a look
Power and data over a pair, must be made for lazy electricians
When you are taking a course that is called "Advanced xyz" and it basically what you do every week
I legit did not know this guy from LOTR was Karl Urban
Whats up with my luck and bad monitors?
are there any good programs for hosting local cloud storage
aww and its an ultrawide too
yeah I got it today
you can see through the dark parts
so dunno if anything can be done
bad karma
this has to be warranty casae
you guys and your hardware
You dropped another one? 😄
Looks like the backlights are screwed. RMA it... it's a good monitor.
Yeah, the panel is probably okay, it's just the backlight that's 'off'.
any fixes? or better to just DOA it?
I wouldn't try to fix it. Get a replacement.
yeah, its proshop so they are not the fastest
never had issues with them
sent in the form
not had issues, but not always the fastest response
I mounted the arm, but the last part is so loose - strange it should handle a 20+kg monitor (the ball that goes into the vesa mount)
so its tipping downwards
I have enough monitors for quad :p
funny the old monitors never had issues, new monitors issues just looking at them
That's the problem I had with the first arm I bought for this. It could hold the weight up off the desk but it wouldn't stop sagging.
how heavy is the monitor?
I had to really tighten up the joint for the tilt mechanism.
I angled it up maybe 5 degrees first, tightened the hell outta it, then attached the monitor.
it doesnt have anything to tighten it
😂
I'm using this one. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Invision-Monitor-Arm-Bracket-Adjustable/dp/B08B8X4KBV
I have a black desk, so it fits in nicely. The spare USB port on the side is a nice little bonus (that I'll never use)
Ball and socket joints... 🤢
This is all hinges and everything is adjustable.
You can still rotate the monitor... not that many people would want to with an ultrawide.
yeah, but the ball joint is so loose
Weld it 
🤏
I had a picture here somewhere
of those 3x24" ones
Found this classic
from when I moved down south
Found it
Speaking of @green inlet probably wants to see how much snow we had in my hometown
I bought my large monitor used I remember. A company who sold business mointors used
they were so expensive those large ones new
I got these from the radiology department at the hospital
they were changing 40 or so of them
I took 3
ah lucky
I always got free from my dad, who was CEO of the main office of Texaco in stavanger and could just take stuff
these were free also, I just happened to manage all of Tromsø's primary and secondary schools at the time
and no school wanted those monitors
they were too big
yeah inches seemed larger then :p
I want a big ultrawide
think of a 32" CRT
But they're too expensive
ultrawides are zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
4k monitors are cheap now, the two I have now were $300 used total
I dont really care about 4k
it really helps when you are working with.... say 5 customers at once
true
but on sub 30" 4k gets too small text, then you have to zoom the text and could just use 1080
like a laptop
I can fit 4 of my ssh windows, and they are fully readable on one of my 4ks
if you can't read a standard font size terminal windows on a 4k monitor
you should get glasses
picture is taken at the same distance that I sit from the screen
ubuntu 🤢
for programming I still prefer mac
🤢
but home assistant wont build on the new mac yet
im on a mac now
mmmmmmm
the M1 one
its actually great, except I had to strip down HA to make it run in dev mode
I think Linux is very good OS. I use it all the time, with no trouble. In automotive wheel balancer on our workshop 😂 .
Im just kidding. I use windows, mac and linux
my best linux success story was with arch linux
I used it for years and never problems
mixed use is the way to go, take the tool that fits best to the need and don't try to make tools to fit your needs..
And now that i've said that, HAOS is the best! Ok, see you -> 😄
don't try to make tools to fit your needs
But I'm a software engineer... 😮
cHAOS
I don't follow football but I love this statement:
Levy in club statement: "Jose is a true professional who showed enormous resilience during the pandemic. On a personal level I have enjoyed working with him and regret that things have not worked out as we both had envisaged. He will always be welcome here."
So the guy that fired Mourinho is saying that he's always welcome?
obligatory weekly ltt ha video comment
Or not
I’m thinking of getting this tv, has anyone had one of these?
wrong link 1 sec
67 votes and 0 comments so far on Reddit
Even their minimum recommendation (TCL S535) is absolutely fucking stunning
Oh wow ok thanks
I’m really just looking for thin bezels and color accuracy
Any specific brand on that list you’d recommend for that?
All the ones on that list should be pretty damn color accurate e.g. the TCL has 2.3 and can be calibrated to 1.28 dE. Most people can't tell the difference at a dE of 2
rtings.com has detailed breakdowns on TV models if you want to check different ones
Ok I’ll try that. Thanks!
I think the S535 looks the best for my budget
The only thing I don’t like about TCL is their UI is so ugly
Yeah, it's not the best, but I really only use 1 app or input so I'm never in the menus myself to care
i think i got the 70" variant
the IR receiver is utter trash
so i havent messed with its "smart" Features
being able to use appletv on it is pretty cool though
i have a nvidia shield anyways so its meh
but the picture quality is decent
and HDR bloom is a cool thing to play around with it. ive noticed a difference with it.
so if you get it. definitely be prepared to get an external IR receiver
So you just connect an Apple TV to it and use it that way?
Oh
@bitter zinc This one is better
Oh dang is that the new version
yeah
I want one
apple retro
remember to turn it to channel 3
I dont know if people know the word "twelve o'clock flashers" - perfect for them
hello lads

Don't forget to say hi to the ladies too.
hello lassies
does anyone use IOTStack and run hassio within that? I recall homeassistant splitting away from hassio
does homeassistant have more features/integrations than hassio?
Anyone using IoTStack should be euthanised for their own sake 😂

And Home Assistant didn't split from Hassio. Home Assistant is the (not so) new name for Hassio. If you're after help with running Home Assistant as a container, you'll want #449717345808547842. We don't do support in this channel, this is just for fun.
roger that!
so its a big fat NO for iotstack, got it
is it a huge mess, or what
💩
that is one of the best threads i have ever seen

You can just block them if you don't want to talk to them
Yeah but they're likely to message other people
Sure...
Its unlikely they reported me on steam because we aren't friends on steam and the username isn't even related
When we get scammers/spammers here, they tend to come in waves.
I've gotten enough messages from scammers on public discords and this looks like one
Ok. You've raised it, leave it with the mods. For now, just block them.
Snow and cold are ok, if you can snow ski.....we just get cold and very little snow. I will take sand, sun, lakes, oceans, pools, and heat any day over cold and snow. I can travel 2 hours from my house and snow ski during the winter. Keep it 2 hours away 🤣🤣
@last cedar tell me you have this...
Now I can finally contactless monitor the bed if anyone is sleeping :p Need to automate everything
Load sensors?
jupp, that one
usually half price on them
but is good, gives all those sensors seen there
and work in double bed
How does it know? 🤔
magic
it measure them room with sonar, so it can measure if a person is breathing, rate of breath, movement etc
so if I die it can call 911
:p
There's no way I'd want an internet-connected device monitoring my sleep.
My FitBit already does
working on a non internet way. right now its calculated online, but the integration is local
My amazfit already does, but I'm not bringing my wife and kids into that 🤣
I thought non contact was best. got WAF of that since I just put it up
Plus, you get a free onlyfans site
mi band does it, and i pull that data into HA 🙂
nice to have teh watch detecting you fell asleep triggering automatoins
if you want true local bed detection.....use load cells
but its the same thing. google wants to do sleep detection on their v2
measure each half of the bed so you can tell who is in bed too
but i fyou have a dog that sleeps at hte end it probably wont work well lol
yea for money lol
they introudced a sleep API that runs on phones recently too
I use two, and set each for 1m so it dont accedently measure the other side
and since its using breath it knows its not the dogs
Not cheap, but ...
no
detecting sleep is important so lights can turn off and alarm can turn on
teh absolute best way IMO is a band the person is wearing
that way it doesnt matter where they fall asleep
you can connect medical equipment on it in the hospital if you want to go crazy
If only FitBit's integration wasn't so damn slow to sync 😄
I should just lose 25kgs, then i can drop the CPAP 
@clever mortar if you can find the intent in the app use the android app to forward it to HA...on my mi band its near instant
I should gain 25kg im on the most inner hole on my belt
We can switch
sure
that should do it

now is the big question. should I put the big boys pants on, and write tests so it can be part of ha or hide and use hacs?
Yes
yes to?
Your question
What's fun is talking to young children who know what records are, but have never even handled a CD
vinyl is still going strong, where as CDs have mostly been replaces by streaming services
It's a bit wild that you're more likely to see a record player than a CD changer in an A/V stack in 2021, but here we are
The marketing tactic of ‘CD quality sound’ doesn’t have the same kick anymore
I mean if you consider not vanishing completely strong then sure
8 track held on for a good while too
I clearly need to go shopping!
Exactly
vinyl sales grew by 29.2% year-over-year in 2019...
That's doing a bit better than "not vanishing" 😛
CD sales fell by 23.4%, and tape sales were basically limited to novelty items like The Guardians of the Galaxy's soundtrack
Here's me listening to music on my phone speaker
Lol 99.999% iot things are 2.4G
Longer range and happy to not have them compete with my phone and laptop
one guy actually suggested running a deauth attack on them, what a tool
Which is why these days it’s dumb to have any devices that need throughput on there
BT doesn’t help either
For IoT devices it doesn’t matter if the band is essentially saturated
As long as the MAC still gets a chance to work. Though even that has a theoretical limit
Should have said IEEE802.11b/g/n 🤢 I guess
5ghz is still bad with big and thin walls... so you just place APs everywhere?
I have 3 rooms total
But yes, in my parents house we got an ap on every floor
Oh wow, this thread got salty
Happy Doge Day

I think there was an uptick in furby sales too at one point
There are probably a couple reasons for that...
First, the source code for the original 1998 Furby leaked
Second, people like to make... these...
Google image search "Long Furby" for some nightmare fuel
I have a copy of the complete source code. There's some wild stuff in there... and it totally explains why they start to sound like screeching hellspawn when their batteries run low
@clear ferry want us to send you a couple thousand furby's?
THE #FURBY ORGAN! tooooo many hours were spent on this project
Needless to say! building things like this isnt cheap! but thanks to my amazing patreon supporters who are funding machines like this!
Have a think about popping a dollar on a pledge some day! it will help to make some truly dodgy machines! :-
https://www.patreon.com/lookmumnocompute...
There's no voltage regulator in a furby, so the motor will want to run faster on new batteries than on old ones... in fact, fresh AA batteries will over-spin the motor, but the software accounts for this
Every time it runs the motor, which has an encoder, it checks how fast it's running, and will speed up or slow down code execution to compensate
Would buy this organ @forest edge
When the batteries start to run down, furby eventually becomes unable to compensate for the motor speed without audio playback artifacts
So you can blame the lack of a simple voltage regulator for furby's weird low battery behavior. lol
"Just fix it in software"
"Just fix... voltage regulation in software?"
"Yeah, you can do that, right?"
Probably to save a few cents on each one. They were toys, after all
And the software does keep them operating normally across a wide range of voltages...
no why would you even look that up?
I have the source code. It's 279 page PDF. lol
pretty sure that dude would sell it lol
did you collect furbies leapo?
I actually still have mine from when they first came out. been sitting on this wall shelf next to me for all these years. has a few inches of dust on it's fur but w/e lol
They made furbies in the 1920s ?
nah I think they came out just a few decades before norway got electricity
elegant 🙂
I was hoping that thread would start with one absolute douche whining about nothing and end with a bunch of reasonable people telling him to sod off.
I'm very disappointed now.
ugh crypto miners are gonna jack up storage prices
Nooooo. Why?
something with block chain storage. apparently it's already happening in china with those bastards buying everything up in mass
Ah. Yeah, the full blockchain for each currency is huge. I didn't think it was so big that they'd be out buying dedicated drives though.
Nope, leave it in the box but add a delivery note to send it to me
you and your pi's with ssd's..

Make Room! Make Room! is a 1966 science fiction novel written by Harry Harrison exploring the consequences of both unchecked population growth on society and the hoarding of resources by a wealthy minority.
It was originally serialized in Impulse magazine.

Bored of the Rings is a 1969 parody of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. This short novel was written by Henry Beard and Douglas Kenney, who later founded National Lampoon. It was published in 1969 by Signet for the Harvard Lampoon. In 2013, an audio version was produced by Orion Audiobooks, narrated by Rupert Degas.
those non english versions sure are weird
Those parody books are really annoying. It's one thing to not like something, it's another altogether to go to such great lengths to mock someone else's work.
I actually found that one quite funny
yep, but who the hell runs docker on alpine?
Its only canonicals implementation on overlayFS
more of an issue with the OS rather then the containers
I think Mike Yeager mentioned he runs Alpine 😄
Wonder how many people run HA on docker in swarm mode 😄
https://analytics.home-assistant.io/ tells you how many run the current version in Docker (and have enabled analytics) - so take 0.001% of that 😛
probably more than should
Lol, on my next setup I'm going to do that .... No more HA unavailability 😄
Your HA goes down ?

os 4lyfe
Well, it is the method pushed as the default... what do you expect 😉
It's "easy" 😂
Easy != good
LOL lazy bastards 😄
wow the US is dark green now lol
And also not always actually easy... as shown by the broken systems in #330990055533576204 on a daily basis 😄
472 in norway.. that means every norwegian runs HA? wow...
LOL
Your numbers are off. That's each Norwegian running 10 copies.
btw off-topic .. who knows a good way to do Multiroom Audio (with the best intergration in HA)
Yeah but as in Hardware wise
The numbers just mean two things a) americans are lazy bastards that want the horrible appliance and b) the same americans uncritically upgrade to the latest versions faster than the rest of the world 😄
RPi with piCorePlayer ?
If only we had a place for #hardware-archived...
But you want #integrations-archived, since you're interested in if they integrate.
Opinions on HA-related stuff can be found in HA-related channels 🤯
I'm atleast happy to see I haven't been forced to send in my analytics data after an upgrade
I mean if there was analytics for people who just buy crap that uses hubs and the cloud unfortunately the US would probably still be dark green lol
If you were just after general recommendations, ask here. The moment there's a link to HA, that's a support question.
Well that was what I meant ... anyone running multiroom audio ?
My GF wants it and as we're moving in together soon .... I better come prepared 😄
@slim ore try using the discord search on this channel. we got a few audio nerds who talk about thier setups here in off topic
There are massive threads about it on the forums too
Sonos will probably get the audiophiles going
but works well IMO and sounds good enough for those that don't care about using directional network cables for improved electron flow...
network cables? I thought the rel enthusiast used rabbit ears
Symfonisk is Sonos, but at a budget, so it's an awesome choice
They don't look bad either for an IKEA product.
Yeah, I think when lockdown lifts and I can go into Ikea I'll be replacing the single Play:1 in my office with a pair of the Symfonisk bookshelf units
You cant do store pickups ? or delivery in the UK ?
I can now (they opened things up a little last weekend), but if I do in store I'll find some other things to buy too 😄
My wife keeps tabs on me when I'm in IKEA
I probably "need" some more Tradfri gear

Oh, yeah, we're the same, only we're all as bad... go in for one thing, come out with £200+ of stuff
That's me at garden centres...
Needed some grass seed, came back with seed, feed, shrubs, bulbs...
Lol yeah, like me at a toko ... go there for Hotpot ingredients ... came back with a shitload more stuff than that can fit in my freezer/fridge 😄
You're keeping them in a job.
If no-one got things delivered, we wouldn't need mail services 🤷♂️
there is so little mail in Norway now, we moved to only mail every second day two years ago
I get no letters anymore, last time I got a letter was... probably in 2014
@forest edge will say letters are essential, like landlines
We are so big on recycling in the US yet I get 3-5 pieces of junk mail every day. Imagine that nationwide.
We haven't gotten advertising in the mail for almost 10 years, nor newspapers
Why you always take it to a sexual level
I just love fatties 🤷♂️
🤣
So many ways to go with that.....and I am over here like 🍆
Just don't search for eggplant gifs
I love that I got a "shipping" confirmation for my new laptop
that apparently means that "factory has recieved your order"
please expect up to 16 weeks for delivery
I ALREADY WAITED 10
Hope its some very special laptop that take 6 months !!!
Well, it is supposed to be a Zbook G7 Fury, but by the time I get it it might be a G8
By the time you get it it might be so old you need an updated one 😉
Next email will say "please expect 26 weeks for manufacture".
this thing is ready to pick up around the corner for me, wth
exactly
Sending mail to customer saying "my password appears to have expired for your vpn service, can you reset it" --- "I've unlocked your account" ---- "still doesn't work, I'm getting denied and my account is locked again, can you reset the password and send it to me on sms?" ---- "I've unlocked your account again"
oh nice, the ESP32 wemos mini is pin compatible with the 8266
bit chonky though

Happy times at home.. Coconut The Hamster left to the vet and pretty surely returns all dead. At least i didn't have to end the days this time
Have to say i'm really proud of my 11yr daughter that she contacted the vet herself and asked if the vet could have a look while very well knowing it'll be the last trip.
Hamsters decompose incredibly fast
Dunno, haven't been digging our graveyard 😄
one of my hamsters died between me leaving for work (0800) and me coming back (1500) one day
and the smell
when I returned
oh lawd
have mercy
😮
A friend of mine had a cat that died under her bed (she thought it had run away, but it had hid under the bed to die) and she didn't notice the smell for almost a week
safe to say, the cat was disposed of with a shovel
We had RHD (rabbit hemorrhagic disease) going around here a year or two back, it was "fun" collecting dead city rabbits from all around. On the same go our pet rabbits died, some beast killed two and rhd took two more.. I think the previous hamster also died at the same time..
pulled a big brain retarded move & cut a pixel off'f my ws2812b strip, shorting 5.3V to the data line via the metallic sissors.

I had to cut a pixel off too after resoldering it so much that the first one no longer worked. At least I remembered to disconnect the power first 😂
Rgb strip didnt light up after that.
Pretty sure its the Wemos thats dead.
Evidence:
-
Ws2812b's use a 5V data line. Meaning you can short the power & data lines without worrying about magic smoke.
-
Some of the led's lit up while i was messing with the strip afterwards.
-
The wemos didnt manage to light up a dummy pixel that was cut off before power was applied to the strip
me me very sad. Gotta spend 6.5$ now
Lol yea my connections dont look good at all. Vcc/g passes upto 8A so i had to use big boi 15mm² cables
Remind me not to let swedes to electrical work in my house
i blame beginners idiocy. First time iv ever setup an rgb strip
With smoke comes knowledge
I dont even know why i got so derpessed over a wemos dying lol.
Got so angry i threw it across the room
ig i take my rgb very seriously. I mean.. it does tripple the apartments value
This is why I always buy five of each
Yea
Poor branding
should get a nodeMCU just to solve the 5V to gpio problem

I see burning couches again
Nah. Wemos had a silent faliure
im suprised it even failed. Only shorted 5.3V for a very short period of time
wemos #diy-archived short circuit #diy-archived voltages #diy-archived fails #diy-archived
No
No
No
And
No
Stupid 👏 users 👏 will 👏 break 👏 any 👏 hardware
not break, the hardware just randomly fails for them
Sounds like Apple hardware
Sure if you buy lower end hardware from a company that has 3x+ the market share of apple, if you paid the same price for the hp laptop, no issue
Done deal. Ordered two more boards
@clear ferry no... this is windows update and hp
On a lower end hp machine? Probably
higher end
HP audio drivers are hell on windows as well? I thought it's our linux that's the issue o.0
we are giving users g7s now
elitebook
12 of them with Windows
ah, im doing more like 500
12 years
500 every 3-4 years
Replacing my laptop every 3 years, so I've seen 6 different models roughly
Also consumer hardware support 🤢
I have seen a lot of funky windows update caused issues since .......... you think consumer hardware support is bad? try their enterprise line
some of the shit I have had to do... stupid NDA
lets just say I have seen some mighty bullshit from HP
s/HP/every manufacturer/

i need this
AirTag. Keep track of your keys, wallet, luggage, backpack, and more, all in the Find My app. Play a sound on the built-in speaker, or say “Hey Siri, find my gym bag.” With select iPhone models, Precision Finding can lead you right to your nearby AirTag. If it’s farther away, hundreds of millions of Apple devices in the Find My network can help ...
@dusky plank im buying 2 4 packs
I will wait for v2 I believe, want it smaller
years away, battery tech is a massive issue
[x] doubt
but, 3rd party vendors will have access to U1 tech soon
I see Apple are busy 'innovating' again.
I don't think they've ever had an original product.
That assumes every iPhone user gets one.
Let's say they all do... that's like 1 in 7 phone users? Hardly complete coverage.
I think iphones will look for them even if they don't have a tag.
Really, it's going to be something like 10% of them bother, maybe fewer.
Or at least if find my iphone is activated, and I think that's most of them.
So, probably only the last three models will get an iOS versions that will do it, over time, and with 10% marker share, cut down to the last three models so 6% , that network will be huge
And a lot of those market share numbers are us I guess
Because of protecting national interests
So if you lose your device in the us you'll maybe be fine
@deft pewter every iphone, ipad etc will find them
*iphone>=11
this part is just bluetooth
woh, the apple tv calibrating tour tv for you with an iPhone.... amazing
I just did it and wow
Still better coverage than Tile.
Don't worry, the NSA already knows where you are
tho... cell phone 😛
@shy comet your favorite postmates at work 😆
Pretty cool how it waits at the pedestrian crossing for lights. @shy comet
that thing looks like it will keep whatever is inside it hot or cold
Yep. Running a big ass lidar puck at the top.
wow i wonder how far it travels lol
No idea. I guess urban food delivery method of the future.
Just Bluetooth? You mean to say it could be standardised for absolutely amazing coverage without needing to be locked in to a particular brand?
I'm sure Apple will go for that.
I installed robots that called elevators and waited for them 13 years ago, getting it to wait for a light can't be hard with the proper integrations
I'm surprised we don't have more automated robots yet
We have Tinkerer.

You would need a 3d mesh map in order for live lidar data to navigate plus all sidewalk slopes and disable access ramps are not universal. So it's not that easy when you come to think of it.
I wonder what it does with walk signals and cars turning
It recognized walk signal.
I don’t trust drivers 🙂
still waiting on a drone that dusts the walls and cleans the windows
What's interesting is that it didn't block the disable access ramp and parked to a side.
wonder what it does if your walking in the same direction and passing it...does it just stop until its alone?
does an alarm sound if you kick it? 😂
Lol. Wish I had time to follow it around.
Pedestrian crossing action was next level. Had to bust 2 x U's for that. 🤣
What on earth is that?
A roaming security robot
and the crying begins
They're not wrong...
It's easy to spot an Apple fanboy though. They make remarks like this: #the-water-cooler message
We welcome competition, as long as it is fair competition. Unfortunately, given Apple's well-documented history of using its platform advantage to unfairly limit competition for its products, we're skeptical.
Nothing inaccurate in there. Apple do whatever they can to protect their ecosystem.
Well, that's how most companies work, if I'm being realistic cynical
Yes. Businesses should indeed try to protect their income. But that's where regulation should step in and balanced things out if necessary.
heh, as soon as I get my airtags, tile goes in the trash
Apple tried to screw over Tile, then release the same product with an Apple badge on it.
Yeah, and where I'd rather companies were sensible about not trying to take over the world... but I know better
Apple are proving that there's nothing technical preventing it working, they just wanted to fuck someone else over.
I really hate my tiles
the sound never works half the time and they tell me to reboot them...
This is one of the reasons I won't support Apple. They've grown way too big.
I have never had a use for a tile or similar product, I'm wondering what you guys are up to
I have one BLE beacon, used with monitor 😄
why do I need to reboot a dam key / wallet tracker
Well I got a Chipolo at Tinkerer's suggestion and it's never bloody worked 😄
Keys are in my jacket pocket, wallet is in my back pocket
I have a Chipolo and its working great so far
Problem solved
I have one on my water bottle (which I lost once), my wallet, my work badge
Supposed to sit in the car so I know when I'm home. I've found it quicker and more reliable to just use WiFi sensors on our phones.
You have issues
My backpack
work keys, badge, car
I have 40+ access cards, that seems like a lot of tiles to cover
I can never find my car at a massive mall with my wife after 3 hours
I can't say I've ever lost anything like that. No keys, no pass, no wallet...
Yeah, I've either
They don't have letters for each row?
Worst case, I'm looking on the wrong surface at home. Everywhere else, they're in a pocket/bag
It just takes once
@deft pewter my short term memory is meh
Likewise. My keys and wallet are always in one of two places.
when you go hiking, skiing and whatnot.. the keys can get lost in a lot of bags
Well, that's a good reason
my long term memory is fantastic tho
Photos? When we do the theme parks, we take photos of the row we're on and sometimes even the name of the parking lot 😄
Alzheimer's is not circumvented by tiles
I don't want to have to worry about boring crap like parking location when I'm out for a day of Disney.
I hate taking photos, it forces me to clean up my photo library later
jeez, I just told you I want one. stop fighting 😄
I empty my photo library once a year
Though, for me, everything has a default pocket. I have one jacket that has only a single inside pocket, not where I normally put the wallet, and that jacket confuses the hell out of me every time my wallet is "missing" 😄
I never clean up
i wonder if the cat will be ok with an airtag...
Implant it and find out?
Be careful which end you implant it in.
finally got her to keep the collar on
tile - story,
That deam thing saved my purse wallet in the train once.
Some creep sat rirght besides me even if the hole train was empty. Was cind of nervus, just an odd thing to do. An hour later or so I checked may things fuckfuckfuck.jpg Purse gone, not here, not there, not on the floor. idea.jpg let it ring.
Oh look at this! my purse is wondering magicaly to the side where I can pick it up
but they are heavily overprised, at least I get them gifted from my mom every couple of years when see needs a new one
Wallet
A purse is either a lady's wallet (UK) or a lady's bag (US).
Crazy Europeans....
lol thx, yea
thank my teacher in 5th grade for that one
apperantly. miracles and wonders
But as you see, the standards wer'nt high
oh yea!
happy 420!
what's wrong with it?
lol
the newer (now older) one looked so much better
that thing ugly
it looks like the shitty remotes you got with macbook pros in the early 2010s
looks like a remote for retards
new imacs are neat tho
just too many buttons
I kinda like that, so that must mean you guys are wrong
Actually it is missing stop and info buttons that I might need, but other than that I think it has everything
also the new ipads have thunderbolt, but their iphones still dont fucking have usb c
That's just to save the environment because you'd have to buy cables when upgrading your phone
I think iPods and iPads are the things Apple got right. They were so well refined.
Their computers... 🤢
Overpriced crap.
I get soon my first pinephone
tested a pad ~year ago, it was incredibly responsive no matter what i did with it. Then again it cost like 1800 eur or so, shouldn't expect anything less then. But it was nice, must agree
Oh, aint that neat? A silent update to Windows Terminal, and suddenly ctrl+v pastes what's in my clipboard??
Why would anyone want that?
lol
As in it interferes with vim key mappings?
ssh? nobody needs that shiat
no cancel?
Luckily it can be turned off.
not to mention ctrl+a and ctrl+e
I only use Windows Terminal for WSL stuff. I'll have to change those settings next time.
the pinephones are 200€ so i expect not to much.
paging in nano is now also f'ed with ctrl+v huh?
I expected that response, you Optimus Maximus user! 😄
It's not my fault you've yet to embrace the superior ways of vim.
aren't you now proud of your skills 😄
I'm not skilled. Not compared to some of the old folk we have in here that have been using computers for hundreds of years.
you don't need vim for that 😄
nah, i'm actually happy you've taken the path to master it, step by step, have myself a lot to learn still
I was pleased the other day when I discovered macros. Managed to automate something that normally takes me a couple of minutes.
It only took 30 minutes to learn how to do it... so it's a net loss for now.
for now
you don't do python in vim, do you?
Naw. I'm a JS dev.
or js either
I don't edit in vim anyway. I've added a vim plugin to WebStorm so I can benefit from a real IDE and still have the speed of vim.
could be educating myself but instead i'm watching a stupid nerd movie Blackhat... haven't seen vim but many other things... plaah
Does he use vim or nano in that? Let us know.
well, he went to a datacenter, walked to a right rack, scrolled down servers for few secs and plugged that drive in, that is some next level skills
leet
yes he did hack into nsa and stuff already.. this is all shit, no idea why i'm wasting my time but once i start watching something i just can't stop
cool, nc.exe was used
On a *nix system? 🤔
zsh: command not found: nc.exe
Could be wsl
or, could have been a windows command prompt?-D
Did he customise his shell on the systems he's hacking? Colour themes, aliases, etc?
Can't just use bash, gotta get that oh-my-zsh going on.
powerline? that ethernet over power thing?
That'd be one hell of a fingerprint to leave on a compromised system.
This humongous monstrosity everyone puts in their vim and zsh and everything
lol
oh-my-zsh has that stuff built in if you want it. I quite like it for seeing clean/dirty when working in a git repo but I've trimmed mine down.
