  • Spanish woman killed by elephant while bathing the animal at popular sanctuary in Thailand

    Jump

  • Well, there is a pretty big difference between a carnivore/omnivore and a herbivore animal when it comes to how dangerous they are to other animals including humans.

    But certainly not "safe" since they're so huge, powerful and wild animals.

  • Self hosted multi room audio with yt music and ability to play from ytm app?

    Jump

  • So, my current whole house audio is powered by Chromecast Audios. Unfortunately they no longer make them. But you can still get them new off eBay. I know because I just bought 5 more (unopened from Japan) as part of finishing our basement

    Mine feed two 12 channel (six room) amplifiers. I've got a mini in each room whose default speaker is the associated CCA and it works great. I have speaker groups so I can ask "hey Google, play music in the basement" and all rooms play.

    Previously I used casatunes. They don't do this anymore, but I bought a PCI card from them (it was a sound blaster hardware) but it was a 6 channel sound card and associated software that ran on windows IIS. It allowed both hardware and software streaming. I liked it but it never supported Google music and eventually I switched to the CCAs

  • YouTube TV Raises Price 14%, to $83 per Month, Citing ‘Rising Cost of Content’

    Jump

  • Maybe, just maybe let us uncheck some of those expensive channels we don't want or need?

    All we managed to do was move cables infrastructure to the Internet. Still the same BS packaged overpriced garbage.

  • Android Auto is causing some awkward silences after December Pixel Drop

    Jump

  • After quickly searching saw you can disable automatic updates in developer options. Since I use AA exclusively I don't want it messing up!

  • Microsoft closes the door on Windows 11 supporting older hardware

  • My dad's bringing his PC to my house when they visit for Christmas so we can setup Linux as a dual boot for him to see if he can switch from Windows 10 to Linux instead of buying a new PC

  • Ya, the amount of people outside bicycling, hiking, rafting I saw out there was awesome!

  • I got to experience Japan too, but I was even younger but 6' tall. So my experience there was mostly around how I could see over everyone :)

  • What do you host for your finances and why!

    Jump

  • I switched over to Actual last month, and am not looking back. I will miss the native android app, but it is an otherwise direct replacement. I was using YNAB4, and had forever.

  • Anecdotal story about Colorado.

    I visited CO a couple of times a while ago for work. I was in my mid 30's (2007) and fairly fit. I left Cincinnati Airport surrounded by overweight people all around me where I felt pretty good about myself. I arrived in Denver, and suddenly felt like I was on the less fit side of the spectrum.

    It was VERY obvious the change. It was not something I noticed / thought about in Cincinnati, but it hit me like a ton of bricks when I landed in CO.

    I've talked about that experience through the years. I have to watch what I eat, and work to be 'as fit' as I am, it definitely does not just come natural or anything remotely like. I drove around / hiked pretty much every moment I was not working and both trips were amazing. Such a beautiful state!

  • Home Assistant compatibility questions

    Jump

  • Easiest to work backwards. Pick out some devices you're interested in and google "device home assistant".

    You can get a lot of different stuff working with HA with different methods/radios. I use Z-Wave, Zigbee,MQTT, and matter devices.

    What radio you have connected to your Home Assistant could be your limiting factor. I have HA on a Raspberry PI and use an Aeotec Z-Stick and Conbee II connected to it. There's probably better stuff out there now.

  • Are phone manufacturers running different voltage batteries?

  • Strava closes the gates to sharing fitness data with other apps

    Jump

  • I left Strava when they adjusted their 'freemium' model and hid a number of things behind a paywall. Now I just use Garmin Connect, for tracking my stuff and an 'athletic' social circle of friends via connections/news feed.

  • Now there’s an ‘anti-AI’ camera app for Android, too

    Jump

  • Does that remove any on device AI the pixel camera does? Or is it just an uncompressed version of the same photo?

  • I tested the Pixel 9's excellent new underwater camera mode in the blue Hawaii waters

    Jump

  • Pixel Drop, though, allows the underwater mode to work on the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold with any underwater case, not just specific cases Google has vetted. This makes the feature much more accessible to people, as you don’t need an expensive diver-quality case to see those

  • MTG insists Trump win proves she’s not a fringe extremist: ‘I am ‘mainstream America’

  • Thanks, I'll check them out. I've heard mint a few times as a good beginner distro. I'll probably dual boot my PC on whatever I am gonna recommend him for a bit so I get my bearings and can support him a bit :)
