Why would a cable being attached prevent it from being replaced?

Unfortunately not but it seems wild. Have you seen it?

I was a total film buff. I watched every special, bought limited editions, even imports from Japan because the cut was different. I went to festivals, studied film techniques, watched 3-4 movies a week, old and new. It’s all gone. I don’t know, it was kinda pushed away by other hobbies and stopped being as interesting to me. Which is a bit sad because there are still amazing and obscure movies coming out. Now I watch 1, maybe 2 a week and I sometimes have to push myself to do that.

Even if you don’t have a place like that, it’s still worth it to put the stuff in jars to prevent maggots from ruining everything.

I used to collect movies on DVD/Bluray but kinda fell out of love with it thanks to streaming, taking up room and being annoying when moving places. They are not worth anything so I don’t want to go through the trouble of selling, so I’m throwing away the cases and put the discs in CD organizers to make them more compact. Most of the labels got sunbleached anyways.

It’s a bit sad. I mean some films are not and will never be available on streaming but overall this became just a nuisance.

It is already possible but the only one available yet is from a Chinese company and it needs their app (and cloud) to work so that’s not an option https://www.aqara.com/us/product/presence-sensor-fp2/

I mean presence in a specific room/area, not in general. Homekit knows if I’m at home, that’s not a problem.

It’s a hobby. Some people like automating things. Some people are overdoing it. And some like to have a central control on their phone for everything. It’s nerd heaven. I am some people, but not overly excessive. And I want everything to still be usable by guests.

I personally have a few smart devices mostly because I keep forgetting to do things. Window sensors and thermostats that work together. When I open the windows, they turn down. The windows remind me to close them after 10 minutes. When I leave home, the heating turns down.

Light automations are for when you want to be lazy, like me. When I’m away or when the sun comes up, light turn off. When I arrive, hallway light turns on. When the sun goes down, some lights in the living room turn on. I don’t have any motion sensor stuff because it doesn’t work the way I want (we all know the horrors of motion controlled bathroom lights at the office). The only reasonable sensor I could imagine is actual presence detection, which just recently became a thing but I will wait at least until there exists one by a privacy focused company like Eve.

I would like to get something for my curtains but it’s all getting a bit too expensive.

The trick is to not use any smart devices that run in the cloud. Not only because of privacy but also because you don’t want to be freezing or sit in the dark just because the internet is out or the whole company shuts down. This is what people are always joking about over smart homes, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Keep everything in your own network. You can still access it from outside through the hub but that’s optional.

Du kannst und solltest dir bei der Post eine Weiterleitung einrichten. Stell nur sicher dass am neuen Briefkasten pünktlich dein Name steht. Oft macht das der Vermieter wegen einheitlichen Etiketten. Danach hast du genug Zeit überall deine Adresse zu ändern. Das aller wichtigste ist, dass die Briefe ankommen.

Offiziell bei der Stadt ummelden musst du dich innerhalb von ein paar Wochen. Auch Fahrzeugpapiere usw haben etwas Zeit. informier dich dazu am besten bei deinen jeweiligen Stellen im Internet.

Je nachdem wieviel vor oder nach dem Umzug zu tun ist würde ich vereinbaren früher reinzukommen oder evtl auch einen ganzen Monat zu überlappen. Falls du privat Umzugshelfer nimmst, muss das ja auch terminlich passen. Generell nimmt es auch viel Stress raus. Es kostet natürlich entsprechend mehr. Aber das musst du einschätzen wieviel du bräuchtest. Stimme das mit Vermieter und Vormieter ab und haltet alles schriftlich fest.

I wonder if this will have any real effect. Allowing other browser engines only in the EU means the developers would need to create browsers specifically for this market and who would do that?
