big whoop. With the power of migraines some of us have had desktops like this for decades!

The collar does have BLE but I thought that would be a violation of my sisters privacy and I don’t want her to feel unwelcome.

Ii use esphome to flash the firmware on his shockcollar. Now when he barks the shock collar on my sister goes off and she gets him a treat.

Frankly you shouldn’t stop with just IoT devices. My sister wouldn’t listen to the HA so she’s not allowed over. It was a bit of a fight in the family but the dog listens so it got to stay and I think that’s totally reasonable.

A wall of ivy would be nice. Maybe make some planters that straddle the wall. If you need to “bribe” your wall neighbor there you could offer to have some hang over on their side to if they’re interested.

The one and only positive of stores doing this is cheap e-ink displays.

I JUST put together that the moto partnership means “buying a phone loaded with gOS” not “moto is working with gOS to ensure it runs smoothly on their hardware”. I was excited before but that is awesome

Had the “dadjokebot” jump in a tread about not having children in a subreddit for folks with a genetic disorder. The novelty of those bots wore out in 2013.

Get into Lora (meshtastic/core). When I settle into bed I check to see if my solar powered nodes made any friends or if the heltec I keep in the car pinged anything cool.

I did a meetup a few weeks ago and its a cool smattering of younger folks and HAM folks who go wayyyyy back.

People talk about it being useful in an emergency, and sure, but mostly it’s just cool.

oh duh, that’s fantastic! Thanks!

I didnt know it got to that level of specificity! I’ve been using HA for going on a year now, but the app only recently. It has WAY more features than I thought.

I like that idea, that works on everything but my car, which I may be able to do some GPS fencing to get around.

excellent, do you know if tasker pics up specific wireless chargeres? I love what you’re saying about HA, but one of the use cases I’m interested in is turning off my VPN when I set my phone in my cars wireless charger (one of the hardest spots for me to to de-google at the moment).

Do you have tasker on grapheneOS?

LongFast for shitposts babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

This is hilarious to me because other than a Samsung once (which made me go back) I had only moto… Until when I finally upgraded I wanted grapheneOS so pixel it was. Very happy about this.

Looks like they screened it and then were able to reproduce the relevant antibodies in vitro.

Thanks for your quick description! Did some reading and I can see why people are excited now. Right now I’m renting and doing a smaller area that my one router/zigbee radio covers pretty well, but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on Matter over Thread. Based on what I read looks like a great protocol system as I get into widespread coverage. It’s exciting Matter is becoming a standard for all manufacturers and is compatible with local only stuff!

Yeah i like zigbee a lot! Although I havent really needed the meshnetwork aspect or had issues with wifi (ie: esphome). I’ve been reading about Matter, what’s the Tl;Dr on why it’s better than zigbee or just MQTT?

I actually have a few zigbee devices! It was strictly just the price on these. $2 for both a bulb and a LED strip with the wireless controllers already on both made them a good part to have around. No way I would have bought them normally.
