I’ve seen a factory being shoehorned into using it. Maintenance planning and all.

Needless to say that its not working out well.

Things always break for you just as you’re about to experience their reaction, regardless of the medium, abstraction or delay (live/recorded/news articles…)

Even with a privately owned car, driving somewhere is often still cheaper than public transport here. Including when factoring in maintenance. The only thing that might offset it when driving alone is parking costs.

Every time my wife and me want to visit a city I look at train tickets as it would be convenient to just get off the station in the city centre, only for me to realise that I’m way better off just driving there, and then use buses/metro to get around the city itself.

I’ve had instant feedback on my headset for years now and it actually sounds weird not to hear my own voice back.

For most hobby projects I just try to stay within the jlcpcb smt assembly parts library these days. For some reason it has actually gotten harder to get parts locally over the years as a consumer.

That has actually lowered the bar for small prototypes/projects enough that I’m using it for some company projects (PCB design isn’t something we normally do but it can be very useful at times).

Also you need to pay (18k/year iirc) in addition to that as well. Next to the fact that matter itself is quite convoluted from an implementation standpoint.

It’s really not made with things like startups or niche products in mind. It’s really a standard by and for the big companies

Except that these pagers were distributed to more than just hezbollah. AUB (American university of Beirut) medical workers had them too, for example.

Also fire departments, hospitals and other medical services. They’re extremely reliable, last a very long time on a charge and don’t shatter when you accidentally drop it.

Thanks! Seems there still isn’t a way to disable the left swipe camera though?

Wait, where do I disable the lockscreen camera? I haven’t yet found that option unfortunately.

It’s one of my most hated “features”, to the point where I just completely disabled the camera itself to get rid of it.

Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.

I have a cousin that works at a petrochem plant. He told me that all the “common trips” never really happen since they’ve been drilled on how and what to do and how to prevent them, but the second shit really does go down you better have a senior around that has seen that specific trip before. Especially considering there’s tens/hundreds of thousands worth of produce being burned off by the second until things are back under control.

Switzerland has always been the go to holiday destination for my grandparents, parents and now me. The difference in pictures (and memories) between the generations is terrifying

Having moved to iPhone fairly recently I do like the overall experience, however Face ID is by far the biggest downside over a good under screen fingerprint scanner.

When picking up the phone and holding it in front of my face it works perfectly well, but that’s probably less than 50% of the unlocks I do.

Most of the time the phone would lie flat on a desk, on a nightstand, couch armrest etc. I can see and interact with the screen just fine, but the phone can’t see me properly. Making me pick the phone to quickly check a notification.

I’m probably entering my password about 4-5x as much as my old phone because of that

Walk in, press on button, hang up jacket and get stuff out of bag, type in password, grab coffee.

That’s a pretty common morning pattern I see.

Those are some peak water polo nails.

Oh I switched jobs, so not switch as in migrate.

The industry I work in now is very conservative, so Microsoft is a brand people know and “trust”. Amazon is scary and new.

As someone who recently switched from AWS to Azure I feel your pain.

Best part is when you finally have a working solution, Microsoft sends you an email that it’s being deprecated.

If it’s only you (or your household) that is accessing the services then something like hosting a tailscale VPN is a relatively user friendly and safe way to set-up remote access.

If not, then you’d probably want to either use the aforementioned Cloudflare tunnels, or set up a reverse proxy container (nginx proxy manager is quite nice for this as it also handles certs and stuff for you). Then port forward ports 80 and 443 to the server (or container if you give it a separate IP). This can be done in your router.

In terms of domain set-up. I’ve always found subdomains (homeassistant.domain.com) to be way less of a hassle compared to directories (domain.com/homeassistant) since the latter may need additional config on the application end.

Get a cheap domain at like Cloudflare and use CNAME records that point domain.com and *.domain.com to your dyndns host. Iirc there’s also some routers/containers that can do ddns with Cloudflare directly, so that might be worth a quick check too.

That hit my timeline the other day. The amount of work that has been put into that video must have been insane.
