Love that! Thanks

Sorry this doesn’t help the issue but can someone tell me what the cat animated icon is because I think I need it immediately, thanks.

I’m in Wayland but that’s because I’m Intel Integrated. If it was Nvidia I might have leaned more towards X111

He’s a cardiologist, so no. I’d say it’s the unhinged antiquated homophobia that did it

Yep I did this and then ran out of time and sold the kit at a huge loss

The second hand market for Lenovo laptops is usually pretty good. Lots of corporations have hardware cycles and recycle the things in huge waves. I’ve picked up an X230 and X270 for fractions of what they were worth new. Accessories too.

Recently I went through some pain with this myself. Had a full Heatmiser setup with wireless receivers in every room and 2 manifold controllers for our underfloor heating on two floors.

The devices ate batteries like nothing I’ve seen before and regularly dropped off the network and didn’t send call to heat signals properly, so I decided to switch out the thermostats for cheap ZigBee temperature sensors.

I then ordered a relay board from AliExpress with a baked in esp8266 cheap and flashed esphome onto it. These replaced my manifold controllers

After trial and error, I now have my heating system run by esphome and home assistant. It has been faultless! Will probably reinstall the Heatmiser kit if I sold the house though

Yep I thought the same after seeing 3 Tesla bashing posts one after the other in my feed. I don’t care for the brand but I also don’t want to hear about every single defect with them in individual posts.

I think the ‘technology’ topic is too broad and allows for this sort of shit slinging to happen too easily.

Did the same on my ThinkPad X270 last week. Went for Arch and everything worked out of the box. KDE Plasma + Wayland was a doddle too. Very happy!

It’s dual boot with Windows 10 for now but I think I’m ready to delete the Windows partitions already

Yeah pretty much most bars and restaurants will use a mixer gun for providing soft drinks. It’s usually carbonated water and it will inject syrup for coke, pepsi, sprite etc at regular intervals. The syrup is just a box from the drink company that they have hooked up to pipes out back

Thanks for this reply! I put off the professional install of panels as the ROI was just too far out. Self install did come up as I’m fairly competent but your points still highlight the problems. Sometimes the numbers just don’t work, even if you can do it cheap

I’m too tired and thought that sign said “Life is Rob Lowe”
