I got a colleague last year, but he is the only one.

Super nice to have Proxmox/Docker/Portainer discussions at work.

Hope you find a new best friend soon!

Just took over a house last year with smart detectors connected to a homebase, all Li-Ion. Can see the battery percentage in the app. No more December 1st checks for a long time!

We use these in our products at work and I’ve never heard about them failing before the equipment is replaced anyways. They are soldered.

I won’t quote life expectancy (MTBF) but we have many customers with 15-20 year old PLC’s with the original capacitor.

I really want to and at the same time don’t want to know where your name comes from…

I’m thinking koffert straight away

It would be pure guessing, but I’m not so sure iOS preferance necessarily translates to MacOS preferance. Especially with todays prices and interest rates. Again, just me guessing.

I hope Windows keeps making dumb decisions so we can find out though!

It might surprise you to learn that Apple is not dominating the market here, neither in phones or laptops.

When I think about it, I only really know one person with a Macbok and at work, Android is probably 2/3. Source: I’m the IT guy ordering phones for everybody.

We’re quite stupid and easy to influence.

Proof in point: I’ve gone from 0 to 3 Linux machines since joining Lemmy.

Someone send help, please??

Not exactly what you asked for, but I went with Eufy with local storage. There is a home base so everything is stored here and not in the cloud. Costs a bit more but gives me peace of mind.

Downside is that it won’t work if my internet or power is out, but that happens once a year, max.

For door I’d go with Yale with the hub to lock and unlock remotely.
Don’t know of a combined solution, sadly.
