Tech With Jake

🤣 working towards that goal tho!

Don’t disagree. Small wallet for front pocket is my go to. Just was saying “it makes sense”.

I’m crazy forgetful. I’d 100% break it in my back pocket lol

I agree. I was just stating “it makes sense”. Small wallet for the front pocket. Can’t always wear cargo lol

Wallet makes sense in the back pocket. It’s been kind of the default for generations so much it’s a comedic point in TV Shows and movies at times. They’re generally malleable and an easy place to grab, for better or worse.

Phone on the other hand, I don’t get either. They’re rigid and can break quite easily if sat on. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting, when I took Waymo, it was cheaper than Uber and Lyft, pre tip.

Going off what fishpen0 said, Waymo actually has sensors on it to detect things and can “understand” its surroundings much better than Tesla cars can wish just cameras.

I’ve ridden in Waymos and they are smooth riding. After the initial “OMG! There’s no driver!” You kind of forget about it. You get to your (limited area) destination safely and without much hassle.

I can go more in depth if ya want.

But I can’t use the same logic to yarr-harr their content even though I pay for the subscription. It comes with Hulu Live TV + no ads so I have to have it.

I bought a couple of these for around the house. https://a.co/d/5vjsVs3 Works very well but mostly at night.

Also to make sure you regularly do the dishes, take out trash and clean up any food sources for the flies. After using the above and doing the above, mine went from insanity to maybe 1 or 2 around the house in about a week or two.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll get that up and running once I’m home.

My biggest question to FUTO/Immich is if they’re worried about a revenue stream, why not do something similar to Home Assistant? You never have to pay HASS a dime and never see anything to “shame” you. All you get is essentially a forwarding subdomain with some “easier” ways of doing cloud related things. There’s zero “shaming” or calls to pay. I pay HASS/Nabu Casa monthly cause I’m lazy and it makes my life easier. FUTO should consider doing something similar.

The iMessage lock-in is too real for some of us. I know some iPhone users who won’t even install FB Messenger (I know, I don’t use it either. Fuck the Zuck) because it’s not Apple/iMessage. I finally got my family on Signal and “OMG! We can send videos and pictures now!” Yeah, been saying it for years lol.

WiFi and ZigBee can interfere with each other as well since they both run on 2.4GHz and pending on what channel you’re on, will royally screw with the other. Moved (nearly) all my Smart Home devices to Z-Wave and has had better connection to nearly everything.

Got myself a Logitech G502X and the Powerplay charging mouse pad. Now I can have my wireless mouse charged 24/7 and never have I think about plugging it or docking it.

My SO and I recently found out that Walmart (I see the Great Value brand) has actually become one of the more expensive places to buy goods from. We’ve done comparisons from Trader Joe’s, Fry’s, and Safeway. We’ve found that Walmart is the least value. Take what you will.

Can you share a screenshot of the error? (Block out any PI of course.) I run into this issue due to my DNS blocking things that Google uses for the integration. I take my cell phone off WiFi, run the integration steps and viola, it connect.

I don’t believe remote access is required but I pay the subscription cause lazy and want to help fund the project.

It’s definitely the blue vs green bubbles. Your average user doesn’t even know iMessage is E2EE. They also don’t care.

Google photos is just cloud back up like iCloud backup for iOS devices.

Google photos is also on iOS devices, so you could have your photos on any of your devices.

I mean, technically you could build it yourself and just use PS/X controllers. I know it’s a lot more work than just buying it premade but at least you could fulfill your own dream in the meantime.

I would say off only with the capability to view temps. IoT devices are shit when it comes to security and turning on remotely just scares the hell outta me. This is from someone whose whole house is decked out in IoT stuff.
