  • This is the way. Although, when I did this to my Samsung television, it eventually began to display dialog boxes complaining that it was having trouble accessing the Internet. So I had to completely delete all network settings in the TV and give up the ability to control it through Home assistant. Annoying.

  • iOS web browsers

  • I didn’t know about this until now, but there is a feature called “back tap.“ It allows you to trigger specific actions by tappingeither two times or three times on the back of the iPhone. You can set this to zoom in or out.

    This is where ChatGPT says to go:

    1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap.
    2. Choose Double Tap or Triple Tap, then select the action you want to assign.

  • iOS web browsers

    Jump

  • iOS has an accessibility feature where you can tap two times with three fingers and zoom the screen. If you hold on the second tap and upward it will zoom in a custom amount. Sliding down zooms back out. Would that work? It would be independent of all web browsers.

  • Do you poweroff your server during night / unused times?

    Jump

  • I can't turn it off because none of the lightbulbs in the house would turn on anymore

    If you have Hue bulbs, you can buy little radios that attach to your light switch (or replacement light switches) that will still operate your lights when the server is down or the network is unavailable. It’s a worthwhile upgrade.

  • Beginner looking for NAS advice

    Jump

  • First things first: Synology as a beginner NAS is perfect! It’s what I recommend to everyone that is getting started out. So good move there.

    I think you should get a four-bay NAS. You don’t have to put four drives in it; you can put two drives in it and have an upgrade path for later. Plus the drives are far easier to install and remove. The processor will also be better in a four-bay NAS, which will give you more options if you want to play around with a docker container or run a VM.

    To answer your questions:

    1. If the NAS you choose has a USB port on it, you will be able to connect things like external hard drives, thumb drives, etc. NASes with USB3 connectors support USB 3 drives. Just be sure to use a file system that is not proprietary. So NTFS is out, but exFat is fine.
    2. I have connected to volumes on the NAS and have connected the NAS to other volumes without issues. It will work fine.
    3. I had two NASes sitting right next to my head in my office at ear level — probably the worst case scenario for noise. I barely noticed them. I could hear them crunching away during backups, but it wasn’t bad. I never heard a fan running — just the internal drives making their read/write noises.
    4. The drives fail before the NASes do. Synology had some issues with bult-in power supplies going bad after a few years. Their modern NASes now have plugs with a power brick on the cable, which I assume was in response to this issue. It’s a lot less expensive to replace a power cable than a whole NAS! But beyond that one issue (which affected one NAS of mine), the NASes I’ve been using have lasted for … oh, 8 years now.
    5. There are many choices for syncing data with your synology NAS. They provide Synology Drive, which gives you a local drop-box-like folder syncing option. They support rsync, and they provide HyperBackup, which is a block-level backup utility. You can choose a Synology shared drive as the destination for a Time Machine backup on a Mac. (I assume you can do this with Windows’ backup solution, but I’ve never personally used it.)

  • Speeding Seattle officer who struck and killed student will not face charges

    Jump

  • However it should be said that a 25mph road should really be designed as a 25mph road, with suitable traffic calming measures. Far too many low speed limit roads are big and wide open, practically encouraging people to speed.

    Sorry, but this is nonsensical. The wide road did not make that cop drive 75 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone. That officer was responsible for his own actions, and would have found a way to drive at an unsafe speed regardless of how the road was designed.

  • Can you manage your house with a local, no-cloud voice assistant? Mostly, yes.

    Jump

  • I used homebridge for a long time, but found maintaining it to be a bit of a chore. Home Assistant was easier to maintain and configure, thanks to its web-based interface. And it has a bridge to homekit that achieves basically everything that homebridge did. You may want to investigate it!

  • Police departments are using AI to review bodycam footage, and police unions are not happy about it

    Jump

  • Using AI to flag footage for review by a person seems like a good time-saving practice. I would bet that without some kind of automation like this, a lot of footage would just go unreviewed. This is far better than waiting for someone to lodge a complaint first, since you could conceivably identify problem behaviors and fix them before someone gets hurt.

    The use of AI-based solutions to examine body-cam footage, however, is getting pushback from police unions pressuring the departments not to make the findings public to save potentially problematic officers.

    According to this, the unions are against this because they want to shield bad-behaving officers. That tells me the AI review is working!

  • If a company requires you to re-apply for the job you already have, you lost your job long before you ever recorded yourself with HireVue.

  • Apple employees outnumbered customers at Vision Pro launch in San Francisco's Union Square

    Jump

  • I went to my local Apple Store yesterday morning and saw one person leaving with an Apple Vision Pro and maybe a few people inside trying it out. It wasn’t crowded at all. It seemed like the store was pretty overcrowded with employees, though.

    On the bright side, I was able to get in and out with my purchase really fast!

  • Porkbun is sort of the darling of the self hosting community. I settled on them after doing a huge comparison of prices and features of all the different registrars available to me. Porkbun was by far the best.
