Wide-spread adoption of passkeys can’t come soon enough.

On Google Fi the watch data “piggy backs” on the phone’s data. You still need a phone + phone plan.

Yes, equal ground should be given to all. Unfortunately, you’re right about Chromium but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t play fair.

A lot of what we know about the construction of the Egyptian pyramids came from what are essentially ancient spreadsheets.

So unionization?

I would choose Home Assistant over Google Home even if I wasn’t trying to de-Google. It’s just a far superior home automation platform.

They should call it Y.

I recently busted out my Pixel 5 (currently using Pixel 7) to try out Lineage OS and absolutely love how it feels in my hands. It’s light and easy to reach all of the screen with one hand. Man I miss that phone.

While this is good information to share this has nothing to do with the net neutrality stuff.

I’ve been meaning to install Linux on my primary gaming PC but haven’t yet due to laziness. This would 100% get me to pull the trigger if/when I ever had to upgrade/reinstall.

Did you know regular water contains a chemical used in rocket fuel, too? Yeah, Oxygen. Saying it “contained chemicals also found in rocket fuel” is just click bait. Not saying Real Water didn’t have issues or should be forgiven, just that sensationalist headlines are dumb.

DDG is great, highly recommended. It reminds me of what Google used to be.

If you can hard wire an ESP32 via Ethernet that would probably be best. You could also get better latency with an ESP32 over WiFi. However, a ZigBee button should be pretty low latency already.

Anecdotally I get perceptibly instant response from an ESP32 over WiFi.

This is part of the reason. For a decade every year the new devices actually came with new and actually improved features.

However, the other part of the problem is the way these devices were and continue to be marketed. Having a big event to talk every little improvement up and overhype the new devices works to some degree.

Awesome, what server chassis is that?

Yup, we’re done here. Mods can turn the comments off now.

Unfortunately that’s not how software development works.

I agree that Hue bulbs are expensive compared to others but they generally are considered some of the best bulbs for color accuracy and build quality. I’ve considered getting Hue bulbs before but definitely wont be now.

While I’m a huge open source advocate this has little to do with open vs closed source software.
