  • Outsmarting my lying washing machine

    Jump

  • I've always been concerned about putting a washing machine on a smart plug due to the motor starting and stopping so I've considered doing something similar but by using a vibration sensor instead and if the vibration sensor doesn't detect vibration for say five minutes it would trigger the alert

  • Home Assistant will create a device database

    Jump

  • I'm also a little concerned about matter devices, because they all seem to require an app setup, and that app is not open source, and so I don't have the desire to install that app on my device, ever. My home assistant just finds my Zigbee device and I don't have to have any closed source proprietary applications to connect them.

  • I think I'd rather do matter over thread, primarily because I really don't want any devices connecting to my Wi-Fi network, because then I know that they have the ability to access the internet.

    Jump

  • You clearly have no idea that not all of these smart devices require an internet connection and apparently you have no idea how a home assistant lets you control these things all locally with no internet connection whatsoever.

    Jump

  • I am very much looking forward to this. I have been buying third reality devices simply because they have the works with Home Assistant branding. And so I know that it's going to work properly. So the fact that this database is being created is going to be very helpful for me in the future.

  • Any actually active servers?

  • Monero.social has quite a few active rooms.

  • Motorola promises zero Android OS upgrades for its latest budget phones, ships with Android 15

    Jump

  • Ah, okay. Thanks

    Jump

  • Yeah, fair point. I don't even know if lineage works on mediatek chips.

  • If I can put LineageOS on it, I wouldn't throw a fit about that. I've had several Moto G phones in the past, and they're not bad for what they cost. But I've always put lineage on them.

  • Oh, I'm aware of that, but it specifically said you needed chrome or edge, and I don't want to use any of those proprietary pieces of shit.

  • The only thing I would say is that you need a Chromium-based browser, not just Chrome or Edge, but things like Brave will also work.

  • Comcast keeps losing customers despite price guarantee and unlimited data

    Jump

  • An apartment I used to have had cable as the only option, and it was incredibly expensive, and they thought, since it was the only option available, that they could charge whatever they wanted and get away with it. And when I was using T-Mobile Home Internet in that apartment, I was getting a cheaper price and higher speeds than everybody else in the building.

    Fixed wireless really does have a way of humbling these stupid legacy providers.

  • Comcast keeps losing customers despite price guarantee and unlimited data

    Jump

  • Ditching Comcast is one of the best decisions I think I've ever made.

    I went with the T-Mobile home internet for a while, and then we got fiber in the area, so I went and changed to them, but if I can avoid it, I'll never give Comcast another dollar of my money.

  • Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in Windows

  • Upgrade everybody to Linux Mint. Problem solved.

  • Don't worry, none of your extortion money was used to buy that Bitcoin. It was stolen from people. That's all the government is really good for anyhow is stealing from people.

  • Thank you. I gave that community a subscribe because I want to use a Linux phone at some point in the future.

    The big thing I have to make sure of is accessibility as I am a low vision user who requires the use of screen magnification at the very minimum and a screen reader is preferred for text such as articles and websites.
