I don’t see a “and they need to host it”

But allowing/enabling community servers would allow it to stay playable at minimum cost to the developers

It is, if you are just dealing with bare batteries without any kind of protection, but if you are dealing with cellphones/modern smart devices, not so much

Yea, but that wasn’t a great rest. I love Great Scott, but a lot of comments fairly call out his conclusion.

Most (all?)phones don’t charge at full speed to 100% charge, they fast charge when the battery is almoast empty, and charge slower the more full it gets.

Have a 75" display, the size is nice, but still a ways from a theater experience, would really need 95" plus.

Yea, I use calibre to strip it, have my entire collection backed up

Yea, love my kobo

Just bought a new 7" Libra, my only complaint is the colour screen is lower contrast than a pure black and white

Not often

Wondering if it was my old phone? Since it was 2 different devices, maybe it was that.

Haven’t replaced the batteries since I got my new fold 7.

How’s your battery life. I like mine, but only get a couple months on both my tag and my tag 2

It advertised 1.5 years, and I know some people get that, so I don’t know why

Love my smart watch

I go jogging and leave my big bulky phone behind. I can still track my jog, listen to music, and check my heart rate, but at 1/20th the weight.

You can download maps on your phone, so you can use it in areas without service.

Used that when I went to the state’s and didn’t pay for roaming/data. Just downloaded Oregon/Washington.

Never, I’m very happy to be in cut. Just wash myself in the shower, and it’s more sensation and fun.

The problem is they make a really good printer at a really good price… But with them locking down their printers, I won’t be buying another.

Unless your computer is from the 70s, it has a computer.

That said, “always connected, getting firmware updates” is a new thing.

Oh, for sure, it’s just for fun

My entire design goal is making it invisible for my wife, so things just work. As an example, I took our doorbell, and made it smart… Not a smart doorbell, but I have an esphome between the doorbell and the chime, so I can turn the chime off, or I can have our phonea get notified.

Home assistant is the way to go, all run locally on a homePC, I have ZigBee lights and switches automated

An example is my front deck lights turn on at sundown, at 10% brightness, at 11;00 pm they drop to 1%.

If motion is detected they brighten up for a bit. On holidays they have appropriate RFB effects.

All of this is automated, none of it talks to the internet.

My current project is making a harry potter style “clock”, with hands for me, my wife, and kids. Can set up some geofencing. Run off some ESPhome and the HA app, which reports directly to my install, without releasing tracking info.

Live my fantasy of being a star trek captain.

And during my star trek fantasy, I’d visit the holodeck.

Yea, I use it for home assistant, it’s amazingly powerful… And so incredibly dumb

It will take my if and statements, and shrunk it to 1/3 the length, while being twice as to robust… While missing that one of the arguments is entirely in the wrong place.

Yea

Vibe coding is for us armatures, who want the occasional hello world

I use it for programing home assistant, since I just can’t get my head around the YAML.

Thanks buddy!

Any chance you have a link,?
