Dr. Who: “Hold my beer”

Yes, but a lot of ZigBee stuff ends up in environments that use a cloud-connected “smart” hub.

That’s why I never went serious into home automation. Because any affordable system is based on cloud shit beyond my control. Cloud goes belly-up, and thousands invested ins such a system are suddenly scrap? Not with me.

Two questions:

Which game?

What would they win with having players on the Discord server?

I did not switch to Linux. I simply never did Windows. I use Linux since the old days of Slackware where you really had to compile ones kernel. That was with kernel 0.97.

Who would have thought that such a thing could happen? Apart from anyone knowing enough about computers, I mean?

Try mediawiki for a change. You’ll soon be happy about the few update troubles you had with gnome.

If push comes to shove, you can still use Notepad++ under Wine. It works.

I use Kate for my editing needs, fast and good regexp work, which is important for me.

You mean the error of the Firefox app was to set the browser default anywhere but Edge?

“An app caused a problem”. Let me guess, that app was called “Edge”, and it was just pissed to be ignored.

I’m angry about all five castings. Same about the casting of an african-american as Heimdall in the MCU - What would be whiter than a nordic god? But using while actors for non-white roles is the vast majority of miscasts.

No idea what exactly was used. This was done when they built the building, way before my time in the company.

I can tell you it does work. I’m working in a lab painted with such stuff. No, we are not doing anything nefarious, but we had developments stints into wireless and radio technology, and having a properly shielded room to work in helps avoiding trouble with the neighbors. I don’t think they would appreciate getting their wifi jammed when someone here is trying to find a bug in a sender or something like this…

No, they only sync up to an existing network. It is more than sufficient for what it does.

Once we’ll put modules on the roof, we’ll add a battery and usage control. That would be a much bigger output with 30m^2 roof pointing south. There I will make sure to have an AC output, if only to keep heating or the freezer alive.

Got a 700W “balcony” system. It steadily eats €20 off the monthly bill at the moment.

As soon as Windows is installed, Microsoft owns the computer.

Exactly that. Back then with the only usable Nvidia drivers being closed source it was a nightmare. Every bigger update ended in a shell from where I had to reinstall the official driver. I can understand and love open source, but this is sabotaging the own user base.

I abandoned SuSE about a decade ago. There were more than enough reasons to do so. I would not put it anywhere close to “competence”.

Thanks, Little Hero!

My Kubuntu RPi 4 does not look that much different.
