Oh noooooo hahahaha

The previous owner of mine was absolutely a pet owner. It was chock full of fur. Luckily nobody in my house has any pet allergies…

If you can manage to get video out, I’m sure it can be done. Maybe you can even stream Doom to a web browser.

Yeah, that’s a rough one. Manufacturers really don’t want us mucking about and will release different versions under the same name all to obfuscate that process.

A lot of TVs are like this as well; we have a curved Samsung 55" that lost it’s backlight last year - not only did I need the model and serial numbers, I also needed the specific T-con board revision. A similar thing happened on my former TCL Roku TV several years before. Same deal.

Worth it IMO. These things get hella filthy inside. I took mine apart to replace its motherboard, and I’m glad I did because it needed a good cleaning.

Responded with the wrong account… I try not to have any crossover between my accounts, but here we are…

Anyway.

Do the newer models require you to connect to wifi?

Probably. I only have the two robots: the aforementioned Wyze, and a cheap Eufy Robovac 25C

Valetudo looks interesting tho.

It’s really quite fascinating. Valetudo is not a 3rd party firmware - it’s a cloud replacement that’s hosted on the robot itself, and also runs a webserver which gives you access to the actual controls and relevant firmware options.

Self-hosting doesn’t always mean exposing things to the internet. It just means you have a PC capable of running software/services that can be accessed over your network. Whether or not you choose to expose that to the internet is up to you.

I absolutely love the enduro/dual-sport bikes. Truly a form-after-function type of bike.

I’m restoring a 1980 XR500, which is another kickstart-only thumper. It’s had a rough life. But it ran before I tore it apart.

I know a dude who rides a Honda Ruckus every day, even in the snow - in Canada. It’s his only vehicle.

I put my bike in the garage when it gets to be consistently colder in the morning.

Everybody knows Debian is actually Gentoo.

Probably any ISP that advertises “super duper extra special wifi” when it’s just a set of QoS rules.

Currently trying YunoHost now, though for some reason it says my GMKtec G9 has a MMC/Micro SD?

That’s because it does have eMMC storage - 64GB worth (I went and looked at their product page). “eMMC” storage is the exact same type of storage that SD cards use. eMMC storage devices pop up in Linux as /dev/mmcblkX (generally X = 0 for single devices), with their partitions tagged on the end of that device as p1, p2, etc.

Windows 7

It was never set in stone until the 2000 election.

Two-way audio is what I’m currently struggling with. I’ve got a Wyze Doorbell v1 that will be loaded with Thingino to replace my Ring doorbell. Hopefully I can get it figured out.

I have individual, manually controlled electric heaters in each room.

Congrats, this thread isn’t for you.

Belkin was the go-to brand for iPod accessories in the 2000s. I had more than a few Belkin accessories for my 5th gen Video.

Now that I think about it, I still have a wireless remote control with the iPod attachment hanging around somewhere, but I don’t remember if it was Belkin or something else… 🤔

Edit: Fuck me, apparently any records of it online have dropped off the face of the earth. I’ll dig it out when I get home, I know where it is.

I have to wonder if permanently losing the enthusiast/early adopter demographic is going to cause more damage in the long run than the cost of keeping those servers running.

They don’t care, because that was never the point. The point was collecting your data and selling it. The 1g/2g units clearly didn’t collect enough data. They make way more money doing that.

Depends how it’s implemented.

For example: I’m in the process of replacing my Wyze wifi bulbs with ThirdReality Zigbee bulbs (only 3 left to swap).

What I do is remove the Wyze bulb from the Wyze app, then go into HA and refresh the Wyze integration which removes the bulb’s entities from HA. Then I’ll do the physical replacement, pair the Zigbee bulb with HA, give it the exact same name as the Wyze bulb (this is key), then go check the automation(s). Haven’t had any issues with that so far.

Oh, I rename the entity, too.
