TIL Meta Messenger Kids exists. Yikes.

Obtainium is way better imo. F-Droid doesn’t have a way to export your app list for device transfer, though I think it’s planned. Either way, I love just obtainium these days and will likely stick with it.

Check out OP’s article. I just skimmed it, but yeah, apparently they can be.

They’re both good. Z wave runs at 1ghz instead of 2.4ghz so the range is generally better. It also has a reputation of being more reliable, so I’ll pick it for things that are essential like door locks, thermostats, light switches, etc. For stuff like smart plugs, temp sensors, door sensors, actually most sensors generally, I usually go zigbee unless the zigbee network doesn’t reach the location.

That is a sweet deal! Can’t reccommend a z wave dongle enough though. I don’t really have much wifi stuff in my smart home any more.

Congrats on the C wire! I was lucky in my 1950s house that when they installed AC in the 90s they ran a new thermostat wire with the C wire, they just didn’t hook it up, so all I had to do was find a power source for it and hook it up in the basement!

I’ve gotta ask - why a nest thermostat? There are cheaper options out there that you haven’t got to de-evil. I use a Honeywell Z Wave unit and it’s great.

Worst case YT blacklists your IP, usually temporarily. I’ve had it happen a few times, had to dial up my throttle avoidance settings.

If you really want to go deep, set up TubeArchivist. It’s pretty neat. My offline library is about 30TB now.

I dunno how genius it was. It seems pretty obvious to me. Definitely evil, but let’s not give them too much credit.

That’s what I meant by a major update to Android, though you’re of course more correct. I cannot wait for a proper FOSS mobile phone OS.

For your email switch to literally any other provider that supports using your own domain. You bring the domain, they host it for you. You can change at any time based on whatever is the least evil.

It isn’t possible unless there’s a major update to Android. I don’t use Google photos.

Maybe the AI will tell me to turn around and to go somewhere local where the coffee costs the same and tastes way better.

If you want it to transcode stuff it might need some. I run it on an old laptop that has a 1050m in it.

If you can’t think of a reason, you’re lacking creativity.

Also folding at home. I basically figure you’re donating your power consumption costs to science. I don’t know that there will ever be a way to make that profitable to the user renting their computer, considering power costs.

Yeah maybe I’m not AI pill-ed enough for that, I dunno.

Starlink has also been huge for vanlifers wanting to remote in to their jobs, but live on the road.

I love touchscreen laptops, it’s often so much easier than using the tracpad.
