I really like my Segway Navimow i105e but it's not really in Home Assistant :(

Just visiting their MacBook Neo page on Apple.com eats up 300~500MB.

Oh boohoo newswebsite @nu.nl

In the first link, you talk about football. In the second link you talk about how Europe is watching idle and in the final link you post actual news updates on the middle east.

You're part of the problem NU, I hope you realize that.

Feeling down and low on energy? Come by Frenck's house and throw your hands in the air! You'll feel the BUZZ!

Whatever you do, don't look up the plot to Threads (1984) and compare it to this weekend's events.

Earlier today I had to install a codec to Windows 11 to make audio work in Plex... AC3/AC4. What year is it?

Apparantly it was removed from fresh installs of 24H2 and later but did not impact older installs. This is so weird. Feels like 2006.. not 2016 .. 2006.

clabretro Videos about computer stuff. Typically focused on enterprise and networking "netro" gear from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s.

Well not a starter pack but a good YouTube channel on older IT stuff is www.youtube.com/@clabretro

I'm having some issues getting video calls etc to work. Apparantly in the last year, they stopped offering publicly hosted TURN server and such. Ideally I want it to work with a Cloudflare Tunnel but can't get it to work. Any tips or pointers? Trying with livekit container.

Thread on Home Assistant is great.. until it just magically stops working, AGAIN. This is really getting on my nerves now. There is a ton of work to do before any of this is ever going to be stable.

I was "lucky" this week to score some new-stock 2x 2TB a-brand NVMe PCI-e 4.0 SSDs at about 100 euros/TB.

GPUs are also exploding. Your next phone will also be about 10 to 60% more expensive, depending on the buying power of the OEM.

And now copper prices are exploding, this will make the PC building hobby even more expensive. OEMs are no longer respecting list pricings and quotes are extremely short-term for new hardware. How can anyone even access all of this AI if they can't even afford a new PC to connect it?

OK so .. you can grab the Outlook window by the search bar in the app title bar and move it around.

But you can't do that with Teams...

Unifi just totally broke my ipv6 and I'm getting real mad about it. It's not like the future of home automation depended on it or something...

Windows, I love you.... but why even have settings and policies regarding software updates and auto reboots if you're just going to ignore them anyway?

"But it restores your session"

Barely, and over 90% of the software can't properly handle it.

OK folks, how are you doing passwords? A paid service?

Given ... stuff... I'm considering moving away from 1Pass... so something selfhosted makes sense... host it myself? Or host it on the web? And would a VPS be enough or should that be bare-metal for extra security?

Overthinking?

I beta tested some of it with Microsoft Connect, ha! Blast of the past.
