Us extension cords (or power strips or whatever you want to call them) practically catch fire if you look at them wrong. Over here, there's much more leeway for plugging multiple loads into a single socket.
It's a little bulkier than a Chromecast but for my TV at home I use a Raspberry Pi 5 with Konstakang's Android TV LineageOS images installed. It works pretty well and I could see it being fairly portable.
Thank you for your work on this! I switched from Tempo to Tempus after seeing one of these updates a few weeks ago. It's great to this is being maintained!
If you use Zigbee2MQTT in Home Assistant, you actually can update the firmware on Hue devices, obviously it's up to you if you actually want to push the update though
My guess would be something to do with intermediary application systems used by multiple companies tracking who applies where. Who knows what they're doing with that data
It might be too late for you, but for anyone else who stumbles across this:
The easiest way to transfer emails is just log into a client like Thunderbird, let it download them all, select all, then drag and drop them all to your new provider. If you have a lot of historic emails, filter by year and do one year at a time
In Luigi's Mansion 2, there is a boo who speaks in binary called Boolean... At least, in the British release. In the US localisation, its name is "Combooter" which is a far less satisfying pun.
Technically it kind of already is. My username is the one I've used with little variation for 13 years, including my youtube and my website where I show my face. Everyone I know IRL knows my username, some of my friends even call me Spatchy and it would feel weird if that particular group didn't (to the point I occasionally have to remind them it's not my real name).
I'm still weirdly obsessed with not sharing my data with companies even though more of it is public than is probably sensible.
I use Thunderbird on both desktop (Linux) and mobile (Android). I currently have five accounts in a unified inbox:
Gmail (2 accounts): 'professional' one I give to people and the other one for generic account signups - currently migrating away from both of these.
Mailbox.org: the replacement for both my gmail accounts as mailbox.org allows aliases. They are completely EU based and don't sell your data. Costs a small fee of €15 a year.
Zoho: for my own domain which is public and attached to my various projects as a developer contact address
Microsoft 365 🤢: Had to add this one literally today because I'm going back to uni in September. Hate that they use microsoft, but thankfully the uni enabled IMAP/SMTP instead of only allowing Microsoft's proprietary OWA protocol.
As for general usage, I treat my inbox like a to-do list. Once I've completed all tasks relating to an email, it gets deleted if it's not important or archived (usually if it's anything to do with money like a receipt or invoice). I usually only have at most 3-4 emails in my inbox at once.
The only thing that annoys me about Thunderbird is that occasionally if I delete a message, it will leave a blank 'ghost' message where the old one used to be that has a date of 01/01/1970 which only goes away when the program is restarted.
Yes, because if you can figure out which part of the procedure broke down leading to that switch being flipped, you can figure out ways to prevent that from happening again. That's much harder to do with just audio.
I’m curious where the security theater accusation comes from
Closed source ad-block that allows "unobtrusive" ads by default. They also ran a scheme a few years ago that replaced ads on web pages with their own and paid users tiny amounts of cryptocurrency for viewing them.
I'm no expert, but I read that self hosting your own instance doesn't actually help with privacy since the search providers still track those requests and if you're the only one using it, that's just tracking you with extra steps.
Of course if you use a public instance, you have to then trust that the instance isn't tracking you
£12-ish a year on mailbox.org
I made the switch about 6 months ago and I'm very happy with them
