  • There's a name for everything. There's probably a name for there being a name for everything.

  • Qobuz for my music streaming. The high quality bitrate actually does make a difference, and the apps are rich and well-featured while also being free from chaff. They also pay artists more than any of the other streaming services.

  • My twenty year old Miele washer-dryer refuses to die.

  • It's a regional dialect. He's from upstate.

  • Whenever a few Europeans from different countries come together, there's a joke that inevitably gets told:

    Someone who speaks many languages is multilingual. Someone who speaks two languages is bilingual. Someone who speaks one language is English.

  • Yes, but apparently it's quite demanding so I'll need some more DDR RAM Memory.

  • Removed

    UPS recommendation?

  • I have a lot of time for Eaton kit. As others have said, not cheap but seems to work well. I've not used APC in a while but they used to make good hardware, even if their software was dogshit.

  • "You don't need 2FA, just make sure to pick a good password."

  • Glad that this works for you, but goddamn that's some condescending shit. Maybe I want other people in my household - people who don't give a shit about VLANs or Docker or transparent terminal windows - the ability to browse and watch content on their TVs and tablets with an easy interface that doesn't require them to learn some specific incantations and a bunch of file paths? Fuck it, may after a long day I just want to crash on the sofa and watch Bojack Horseman without having to get two knuckles deep in an SSH session? Again, glad it works for you but holy shit your manner is tone-deaf.

  • Apple are the ones who refuse to allow developers to deploy apps that run on older devices while also not allowing users to download previous versions of an app.

  • Definitely something screwy with your setup. I have over 70 ZigBee bulbs from a mixture of brands and even the most distant ones - two or three hops from the dongle - are rock solid. My bedroom has eight bulbs and is as far from the controller as it gets and it's rare for there to be a delay of more than half a second.

  • Those are great for keeping drinks and non-perishables cool in a shady area but absolutely dogshit for food or anywhere with a lot of sunlight.

  • I always keep my cars spotless. Slightly scented, never more than a little dusty, some dirt on the carpets but nothing more.

    Now my home, on the other hand. That's a fucking pigsty.

  • Don't forget to install SysInternals PageDefrag

  • No, no, those guys are dapper as fuck.

  • That comment was really awful, just super nasty and totally uncalled-for interesting.

  • Yeah. They went from counting pixels by rows to columns. A 16:9 widescreen 1080 display is 1920×1080, and most manufacturers are happy to call 1920 "2K".

  • Just in case anyone was thinking "I'm gonna buy one and put ESPHome on it" or something, the microcontroller is a Beken 7525UQN68 which I've not been able to find any robust documentation for. It is Tuya, so that might be an angle of attack. The quality is shockingly good for such a small sensor and the included batteries are a pair of 18650s which was a nice surprise. I'm probably going to reset and return it or just drop it at a charity shop.
