1. I’m obsessed with having everything monitored from Home Assistant. I can adjust lights or make announcements based on what’s happening.

2. I assumed the clock would maintain itself automatically (wrongly…)

The only way to update the clock is to press Sync Clock button in the app. Fortunately there’s a workaround from HA but even so - I won’t buy another Samsung kitchen appliance. Bosch are the only good smart guys.

Please can everyone join me in referring to him as Rock “The Duane” Johnson when mentioned verbally?

It’s very satisfying.

I bought the Samsung microwave specifically because it had wifi. (I’d have preferred ethernet but that doesn’t seem to exist for any kitchen appliances)

AMA!

All the good stuff is lifted directly from Asimov.

Tipping too much is communism. Just like supporting proper minimum wage or employment protections.

Seems more Zuckerberg to me.

I find that fascinating. I just wouldn’t turn up to an internet date who wouldn’t give me their number. If safety is an issue then get a burner number.

I married an internet date and our kids are nearly teens now. 🤷‍♀️

According to the documentary “Ghosts”, the inhabitants of Button House are unable to leave the area. Despite some of tfem predating the house.

On Ubuntu, just install gnome-user-share on one machine and now you have a Sharing>File Sharing section in Settings. It’s point and click.

They’re way left of the Tories and Reform. But yes, that’s what I was getting at with the “right” people. If Americans fight for better Deomcratic candidates between now and 2029 then they have a chance. They’ll win big when Trump goes anyway so the question is: Who benefits?

Whoever comes next will be blamed for the state of the economy and the government.

There’s just one sliver of hope: When Trump keels over the Republicans will tear each other qpart like cats in a bag. That’s your opportunity. You have to get the right people in, you (the “left of MAGA”, basically normies) will win an easy landslide just that one time…

I’m British and this is what happened here - the right briefly in disaray allowed our centre-left party to win big. Just once… now Labour are blamed for everything and are getting destroyed in the polls.

Negative review. Every time. No matter how good the game.

I also don’t buy them any more but I have a load in my library.

There’s no such thing as a seagull. Lots of types of gull but no sea gull.

The boot drive filling up is REALLY annoying because on modern systems there’s no need for it to even BE a dedicated partition.

Even with encryption and BTRFS, boot can live in your root partiotion just fine. Only EFI needs a partition and that never fills up.

Distros need to change this default!

The sad thing is - we COULD produce processed foods designed for our health. We just choose not to. The more its processed, the more room there is for profit margin improving adjustments.

(Meanwhile we evolved to eat not-ultraprocessed food so obviously that’s best for us.)

You make it sound like a third world banana republic…

Almost correct. :D

Just in case any Linux users see this: (and for my own convenience as I’ve just learned how to do it!)

sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=10G tmpfs /wherever/blah/

It only uses as much RAM as the files actually consume, the size option is just an upper limit. Set Steam to record to the same directory. Add NoSwap to the -o (options) if you want to prevent any disk use.

Works great.

Inflation. It was always going to be 20k. That’s right, just 25k. So for just 30k you can own this amazing 35k truck.

Etc.

Oo that’s actually a neat idea for those of us with plenty of ram in our gaming PCs. Thanks.
