I'm using cinnamon, but I probably should be using gnome.

I hope graphene starts making oem devices. That's the only reason I would want a pixel anyway. And after all the stuff I've been hearing about battery fires with them, I am quite concerned.

I owned the Nexus 6P and loved it. I owned the Pixel 1 and loved it. I owned the Pixel 3A and loved it. But now I'm just extremely concerned about the way the hardware has gone recently.

Currently I am using a OnePlus Nord N200 5G

I have this exact same thought. I see things like this and I'm like, God, I'm glad I don't have any of that shit.

You do realize that most Steam games now work on the next natively correct? It's true, not all do, but a lot of them do.

Yes, places where this would work well would be street protests, concert venues, sports stadiums, etc. Could also be useful for conferences to send people in the same room links or something.

Edit: short range comms during net shutdowns like iran recently

Another competitor web engine is Ladybird. You might want to take a look at that as well.

I can answer a couple of those questions. It will go through up to seven devices and with Bluetooth maximum range of 300 meters you can get 6,800 feet or around 1.2 miles at maximum.

Mind you, that would be with everything perfectly done, so it most likely won't be that far.

 

I have a Seeed SenseCAP T1000-E running fw 2.7.3 and with boosted gain turned off my node drained to 5% in 3 days and 6 hours. With boosted gain on though i have only gotten 2 days 15 hours to 7%. I know they are not the same, but i doubt i would get 16 more hours out of it.

 

So it would appear that Orca and the cinnamon desktop environment do not particularly like each other.

Since cinnamon is a fork of the gnome project, it somewhat works. Like I can view my desktop icons and use the terminal and view files in the file manager. But I cannot use the start menu, view the panel and system tray, etc.

Also, it appears while the file manager does let me view files and folders. I can't shift tab through other functionality from the file manager.

 

So I use a combination of magnification gestures and Talkback but I've noticed that in bard if I click search and Find a book and then I turn on my screen reader in order to actually read the description it always goes back to the search page and I lose what I was on. It is really annoying because no other app does that

 

So I just noticed that my local router has been up for 170 days. It has the public-private key cryptography introduced in version 2.5 because it has the lock icon. But since it's been up for 170 days, I know for a fact that it does not have version 2.6 at all, and there was two key issues fixed in 2.6.3(ish and 2.6.11.

So I have my AC connected to a smart plug and I'm trying to figure out what would be the best way to go about automating it.

Currently, I have it set to run every hour on the hour for 20 minutes if the time is between noon and 8 p.m. Which covers the hottest part of the day.

However, what I could do is have it run every other hour instead and have a couple of night runs along with the daytime runs.

Doing it that way would eliminate most of the 16-hour period currently that exists between the ending of one day and the beginning of the next.

Edit: Also, is there an easy way to automate every other hour using the time pattern or would I manually have to set up triggers for 2am, 4am, 6am, 8am, 10am, etc. using the fixed values?

Edit 2: looks like i can use "/2" to accomplish that

 

I'm looking for an audio-described version of her 2013. And, at least on Blind Mice, I'm not seeing one, and that's where I normally find my audio-described movies.

Edit: Never mind, Blind Mice does have it. It just took me a while to realize that it had multiple pages that I had to click through.

I would like to use device names such as "NBR-NW1 (John's AC)" which is shorthand for "North Bedroom North Wall1 (John's AC)". However, it appears as though when I ask the assistant to "turn on John's AC", it does not match it to anything.

I used Home Assistant to create my very first automation today. It's really stupid simple, but I feel as though things will only get crazier from here.

Context: i have an old dumb window AC that has 2 physical dials. One turns fan- low, fan-high, cool-low, and cool- high while the other is labeled from 1 to 8 with 1 being warm and 8 being coldest. This AC is either on or its not. Even if the compressor is not running the fan runs 24/7 until it is physically switched off.

My current automation checks once per hour, and if the temperature is above 80 degrees, it will notify me to turn on the air conditioner.

I intend to buy one of the third reality smart plugs soon and switch the action from notify to "turn on the third reality plug for 10 minutes". Then I will just leave the unit itself on Cool High and let the plug manage the power.

Eventually, I think I will also buy a third-reality temperature sensor and set the trigger to if the temperature sensor says that the room itself is above 80 degrees instead of using the forecast.

It comes in 5,000 mAh and 10,000 mAh variants and will use 95% of the battery in power bank mode and reserve the bottom 5% to run the mesh node. I think you can run the mesh node and use all 100% of the battery if you wish, but the power bank mode can only use 95% of it. I think it's based on the NRF52 and SX1262 radio.

Edit: Sorry for the duplicate post. Please feel free to delete it, because I can't figure out how to.

 

Edit: to anyone who can add Socks 5 support to the app and get a pull request accepted I'm offering the equivalent of $84 in Monero which would be a year of what I would pay for the cloud subscription
