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.

“re-adding to an account” as in an official tuya account? That makes sense. Awesome to hear about re-installing the app with no problems, thanks!

Yeah, esphome is by far the better way to go, but at $2 a bulb (plus a short RGB addressable wifi LED strip), I’ll take some headache until they break…

Not sure what type of humidifier that is but you may need a rotary one to get lower. There’s a technology connections video on them. They essentially are silica that’s constantly dis/recharging. They’re very energy inefficient but don’t have the same performance limits as compressor based systems.

I got one earmarked for exactly this before I moved. They’re simple enough I was planning gutting it and adding smarts using ESPHome. But moisture hasn’t been an issue for me so the project is a low priority.

I have been mostly happy with my flashforge AD5X starting as a newbie. Its got a good range of material capabilities, but 95% of the time I’m printing PLA anyway. PLA is the most common filament by far.

I will say I have had two hot ends (the part the filiment comes out of) get covered in enough filament they broke during a misprint ($40 repair each).

I don’t really have experience with other makes/models but that is my loose endorsement of the AD5X. My only real complaint is how expensive the nozzles are compared to other brands.

That would make me delete it instantly and leave a bad review.

I think we can both agree tautology works because it works, and that’s good enough for me.
