Not your traditional TVs but look and see if you can get some TVs aimed at venues / advertising. I can see an LG IPS display, 98 inch for sub 10k AUD including shipping (98UM5J-B).

Phillips, LG, Samsung and others offer commercial panels without the rubbish that consumer panels are infected with these days.

This is actually pretty minimal in Australia (as someone who has worked in Hospitality for 20+ years)

Very few venues actually require this to enter, the majority check at the door or once you ae inside the venue.

Edit: Some owners of multiple venues have rolled these systems out in the past that I’ve seen, generally ones that have seen a rise in patron issues. Its handy that if someone has caused issues in one place they won’t get allowed into another; but it’s not worth the privacy risk in my eyes.

Yeah the LEDs were always handy to have, and the coloured notifications on the trackball (nexus 1) with a third party app was super cool at the time. My trackball after a few years got pretty dirty and didn’t want to clean with chemicals in fear of damaging it.

Currently using a Nothing (3) which is somewhat similar with the small led display on the back.

Nexus one had the trackball, the hero had a sensor or did both? IDK it’s been some years since I still had my nexus one. Maybe I’m thinking of the HTC Desire with the sensor.

I do remember running the original version(s) of MIUI on my nexus one, ahh simpler times.

“From the ID 2all onwards, we will have physical buttons for the five most important functions – the volume, the heating on each side of the car, the fans and the hazard light – below the screen,”

Climate controls are one but sure, five most important functions. Honestly rip out the touch screen, implement buttons just as they had been previously then add the display; preferably with a decent HID as Mazda have done.

I’m still driving a mk6 golf and really can’t imagine not having easy access to those features.

Ahh spotted another one!

Mine is a mess but works for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’d been a windows user since the DOS / 3.1 days and converted to Linux maybe 2~ years ago. I’ve found that I’m able to tailor the desktop experience (on desktop / laptop) to exactly what I need. No shitware getting in the way or annoying bundled programs.

My laptop has decent battery life and standby gives me no issues, perfect in my eyes.

I can’t stand windows anymore, and I’m not one to lash out and buy a macbook to just experience another desktop enviornment / user experience.

Admittedly there isnt any professional use just browsing / games with some codium usage.

All their smart lights are tuya, or at least the ones that I have. The esp are swappable but are soldered to the boards and their a pain to open but can be done.

I purchased some of their downlughts to add another project to the pile and to feed my curiosity.

I’d dare say the easier method, from memory the p6 should have a charge limit in the stock firmware.

I’ve not an old Samsung s10+ kicking around with corrupted firmware, should really take a look at it and see if it can be up and running again. Not that I need more cores, ram, cameras or any additions to my equipment but just because.

It fassinates me that consumer hardware, and low power at that goes wasted so often. So many small form factor devices such as phones, with built in ups aren’t being leveraged. But I guess that comes down to proprietary binary blobs and developer work on a per device basis.

I might have to investigate what platforms mobile nixos supports and see if it’s cheap enough to dabble with.

Several minute delay? Have you considered running Frigate for your detections?

Run a macvlan and give containers their own local IP. Or don’t expose the port on the host, and connect via reverse proxy.

Yeah have been meaning to pick a few up but it’s not been a top priority. Not really a developer more just a user that dabbles too much with a homelab while trying to be privacy & security conscious.

The cost alone is a bit of a hurdle with money going to life / house currently and another purchase of some silly computer thing will trigger her.

Same thing as any file full of credentials.

I didn’t know about the ability to use more than one passkey per platform. Something I’ll have to investigate further.

My passkeys are stored in keypass, which I share between multiple devices. Phone, home servers, desktop pc and a flashdrive that stays in my car.

Obviously the flash drive needs to be manually updated but the other devices use syncthing to keep everything up to date.

I get there are some people that have concerns over such a configuration but I’m happy bopping away knowing that if my phone dies, I’ve still got access to accounts / can easily be back up and running on a fresh device.

Not around here but the major banks in my area still allow for note / change deposits into accounts. They even have coin hoppers in some still, great for cleaning out the glovebox / centre console.

Been a while since I’ve used one as I generally take my change into work and convert it into notes there :D

It’s crazy to see the downturn in cash going through pubs, I’ve been in the industry for 20 years and remember when I’d started most transactions were physical money, these days on a busy night I’ll count the 7 tills we have and maybe end up with 3k in cash takings. (not including the pokies for obvious reasons).

You could always fall back to Hannah Montana Linux.

GUIX, openSUSE or Void might take your fancy if the more mainstream distros aren’t quite hitting the spot.

Ahh we don’t really use cheques here in Aus. Payments being electronic doesn’t worry me, pay lands in my account the same day it’s processed, sometimes the following day if the accountants miss the deadline.

Sending someone money is generally instant using PayID, without fees too.

I use neobanks (no physical branches) so as long as their web interface works well enough for me, and I can use my own 2FA (not SMS based) ill be happy as a pig in mud.

Just wait and see if the climate turns to no physical cards in the next 5 - 10 years…

Banks allow me to login via their web interface, send money to a BSB + Account Number or even a PayID (email / phone number) but using their app to do just the same is too far?

It’s total rubbish, honestly I’ve resurrected my OG ridge wallet and am planning on installing Graphene on my P7P to skirt the phone payment trap.

I was one of the few in Australia to test Google wallet (thanks for the free cash google) and thought it was the bees knees. It’s a fucking long con and fuck I feel dumb for falling into it.

Worst still my drivers licence is a phone app, so are my work certificates and probably a bunch of other shit that I’ll only realize later.

I guess fuck around and find out shows its ugly face eventually.

So vibe coding?

I’ve tried using llm for a couple of tasks before I gave up on the jargon outputs and nonsense loops that they kept feeding me.

I’m no coder / programmer but for the simple tasks / things I needed I took inspo from others, understood how the scripts worked, added comments to my own scripts showing my understanding and explaining what it’s doing.

I’ve written honestly so much, just throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks (works). I have fleshed out a method for using base16 colour schemes to modify other GTK* themes so everything in my OS matches. I have declarative containers, IP addresses, secrets, containers and so much more. Thanks to the folks who created nix-colors, I should really contribute to that repo.

I still feel like a noob when it comes to Linux however seeing my progress in ~ 1y is massive.

I managed to get a working google coral after everyone else’s scripts (that I could find on Github) had quit working (NixOS). I’ve since ditched that module as the upkeep required isn’t worth a few ms in detection speeds.

I don’t believe any of my configs would be where they are if I’d asked a llm to slap it together for me. I’d have none of the understanding of how things work.
