Great; how do I get my Mother to do that over the phone?
That’s not going to scale as I share out my server.
Are you incapable of recognizing that in this context my comment was a joke? What the fuck is wrong with you?
That’s not going to scale…
How many mothers do you have?
It’s not a cake walk, but I’ve something similar for a friend who can barely turn on his PC.
The OpenWRT router was fully configured before shipping it to him and the existing router’s needed Wireguard port was opened by me using the Comcast Android app. All he had to do was connect his TV to a new wifi network. That wasn’t easy, but he ultimately succeeded.

I’d give you 10 to 1 odds that all of these criminals are strident Maga Trump supporters.
Have a couple OP 9pros and they’ll be the last OP devices I buy.
There are severe bugs that OP never fixes and make using the phone for something like navigation unreliable. Battery life can be great one day and terrible the next when not even using the phone. Also OP sells carrier specific hardware. My TMO phones can’t be used at AT&T or Verizon, severely limiting our options. My understanding is unlocked Pixel phones can be used on any carrier.
I really wanted to load Graphene, but even without it I’ll consider a Pixel device.
It is surprising how difficult most camera companies have made it to avoid their subscription services.
Multiple companies that used to offer local rstp streaming have summarily removed support in firmware upgrades without notifying their customers. Even companies that support it (like Foscam) demand developer agreements be signed to get basic camera command information. Tp-link supports rstp but requires an phone app and Internet connection to configure their cameras.
Like you, I will never connect my cameras to the Internet, but we are slowly approaching a time when that by itself will be a cause for police investigation.
Musk did the equivalent of full on grabbing and slowly squeezing that boob and then insisting it was a gesture of respect.
But many of the signs target Elon Musk specifically, and his most famous brand, Tesla, calling the vehicles “Swasticars” and comparing Musk to a Nazi.
Musk; “How many legacy media publications, talk shows, whatever, try to claim that I was a Nazi because of some random hand gesture gesture at a rally where all I said was that my heart goes out to you,”
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - George Orwell 1984
When I bought this laptop the cheap thin clients came with eMMC storage. Keyboard and display are convenient for installations, backups and occasionally other uses. A decent size UPS is more than $100, uses power even when it’s in standby and still doesn’t last anywhere near the 7+ hours of the laptop battery when the power fails. I’m away for 3-4 weeks at a time and have had repeated power failures completely corrupt my server SSD during that time. Not everyone can fix a server problem within a few hours.
The laptop cost significantly less than a thin client, plus a gpu, plus a UPS and came with that nice keyboard and display, and a warranty. It only uses about 6-8 watts the majority of the time, important to me for a device that’s always on.
Different people have different use cases than you do. Some of us even know what works best for us.
Different people have different use cases. A thin client doesn’t work for video object recognition, nor does it come with a keyboard, display, SSD or battery backup.
I’m aware it can still be run, but as I stated in my previous comment my platform and installation were specifically purchased and configured to be fully supported and I would like to keep it that way.
This is really disappointing. My HA Supervised install was running fine last year on an old laptop and unsupported distro. In order to move to a supported installation of HA I purchased a very efficient fanless laptop specifically sized to run Debian 12 and HA Supervised. This install has been rock solid and the opposite of “Hacky” (despite Howtogeek’s clickbait title), and I expected it to easily last 5+ years. It’s been 8 months.
Of course Home Assistant developers need to sometimes EOL specific configurations and dropping 32bit hardware support was overdue (the last 32 bit Raspberry Pi was released over 10 years ago), but 6 months is an absurdly short amount of notice to give users of supported configurations on supported hardware that they’re going to be forced to migrate to something else.
Impaired driving is also solvable. On-demand breathalyzers, smartphone saliva tests, and eye-tracking sensors are all tools that already exist to stop drunk and high drivers before they even start the ignition. Uber is already testing real-time driver sobriety verification. Why aren’t carmakers racing to put similar tech in every new vehicle?
There’s no fucking way people will buy those cars is why. I rarely drink and will never buy a car that required a saliva test or blowing into a tube before starting. Like it or not, any car that includes that equipment would be DOA and a financial disaster for the car manufacturer.
Bad design goes both ways. I have a couple of small kitchen appliances (coffee machine & toaster oven) and their beeps are impossible to hear if there’s the slightest bit of background noise. It makes using them a PITA. And then there’s my microwave which could wake the dead.
I’d be happy to see ads from individuals here.
The bulb resets are known to TP-Link and they created a firmware version that fixed it. The company didn’t release the update and now TP-Link support reps deny that the new firmware exists, so obviously the communication failures and resets are design intent.

Just bought some Third Reality bulbs to replace TP-Link wifi bulbs a couple of weeks ago. (The TP-Link bulbs require continual communication with TP-Link’s Chinese servers or they reset every few seconds.)
Zigbee2MQTT detects the Third Reality bulbs immediately and they have been working perfectly. The same goes for TR power monitoring smart plugs.
That seems like you’re just replicating what the AC’s thermostat is doing.
In my experience the thermostats of window units are crappy at regulating room temperature. Even so, did you miss this part of the post?:
Even if the compressor is not running the fan runs 24/7 until it is physically switched off.
The OP is planning on letting the unit run for 10 minutes and then turn it off, a much less effective solution than setting up a remote temperature sensor and power monitoring switch, and much better than having to control room temperature by adjusting knob that’s “labeled from 1 to 8 with 1 being warm and 8 being coldest.”
Returned a multi-week Hertz rental a couple of days ago and had to fight with the staff to get to get a written acknowledgement of no damage.
Customers are supposed to just trust Hertz employees will self-report damaging the car after it has been turned in? Absolutely laughable considering how many times rental companies try to screw over their customers.
This is great info and I won’t be renting from Hertz again.
