Oh nee :((

It’s a Synology NAS so will work with the Synology DSM integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/synology_dsm

There’s definitely ways to poll the sensors of other devices though. I had some janky sensors set up before for monitoring a standard Linux box.

We’re doing fine here:

Aber Deutschland ist geschmolzen :(

Stevie/Stevies (as in the name, Steve) is the house-level localised name here. Stevie Slater.

Why, I don’t know.

Might well be what pushes me to give piefed.zip a go :)

Nice :)

appleptic (apoplectic), iscream, coretheapple, thatsfruity, applewhy…

crapple probably too far in the moaning direction, despite being a classic.

Either way, watching this space :)

To its credit (of which there is little), Windows can handle most things these days just fine without externally obtained drivers. Gradually improving since 7 onwards. The only sore spots really are proper gfx drivers and printers. 10 and beyond will also gracefully handle being drive-swapped into completely different hardware.

If it’s a reinstall, activation is automatic for OEM licences.

Step 4, yes, what a shitshow. Way too many hoops and hurdles to go through just to get a functional OS without the bloat and guff.

Exactly - some are perfectly fine. The cheap ones are terrible, crossthread too easily, get up in your face, dribble, or all of the above.

Sports style bottles solved the problem long before standard caps got in the game. They get disposed of together here either way, even if the cap gets yanked off for being stupid.

I don’t understand how they end up separate in disposal in the first place. The whole point is that you can reseal the bottle and move/store it without leaking. If you’re not actively using the bottle, it gets resealed to move or store. When you finish the bottle, you probably have the cap still in hand or very close by.

Tangentially, I’d love to see a Pfand type system here.

Awesome.

It also works very well from the share context in Android, once remotes are set up. Handy for when I just want to dump some photos on my desktop.

For every person like you that won’t take the shit, there are many more that will just give up. Just like unemployment and insurance claims - denial is the first step in protecting the bottom line.

If nobody accepted such bollocks, it would be more economical to actually investigate, provide service & improve processes - rather than trying to bin complaints at the first hurdle.

Prime (lol) example over here is with Amazon not making it easy to return shit after 30 days, by hiding all the easy return options at that point. You can still do it by contacting customer service and they will generally acquiesce, but just having the extra steps there is enough to save a ton of money by keeping the uninformed in the dark.

Fuck em. Make it difficult for them. Be the goddamn squeakiest wheel you can possibly be.

Two strokes, trans, and yet still pushing forward against the shit shoveled your way. You are objectively kicking ass despite the hand dealt & that needs to be said.

Some great tips above that I won’t try to clumsily add to, but you have my best wishes. I hope you get to where you want to be.

Recognition systems have historically struggled with darker skin.

Probably better these days, but not by much going by your testing.

First block on my list ¯\(ツ)/¯

The bot rarely gets any upvotes or engagement, and I suspect a majority of people (like myself) have just blocked it.

One of the first things I blocked, so +1 for your theory there.

Cx File Explorer does the job for me. Does local, cloud and network - SMB included.

Just set up the location and go.

Not for long, they’re shit-canning it October next year.

Working fine for me on Mullvad.

It’s definitely puddle cat season now
