Most WiFi switches are based on ESP chips. Meaning they are trivial to install custom firmware on to extend the functionality. I haven’t found any affordable Zigbee or Zwave switches of this kind. Meaning that all the smarts need to be prog

When I bring my bike to the tire shop for new tires the guy always cuts the nozzle off and places a new one in. Might just be a safety/liability thing. Since they're also made out of rubber, which degrades.

At first I thought this was a relaunch of Infra App[0], because that project has been stale for a year now since they introduced licensing and has been superseded by Lens feature wise anyways. This looks very interesting, will give it a try

You could give Puppet Bolt a try, which is like a blend of an Ansible agentless method with declarative Puppet manifests.

Sound like they implemented Vetinari’s clock from Discworld. That’s a waiting room clock that would slow down and speed up the seconds hand (and also the ticks and tocks) but the minute and hour hands would run on time. This was to make the

This would just be annoying when you reinstall or use a new machine, like going through a tutorial section when playing a game for the second time. Or you would end up with Clippy.

Or just buy a Mikrotik device, something like a HAP lite[0] can be had for much less than a Raspberry Pi + SDcard nowadays. With RouterOS 7 it supports Wireguard and Zerotier out of the box, and you can still even setup OpenVPN or L2TP&#x2F

Check your meter to see if it has a blinking LED. Most meters have a pulse LED which blinks X times per kWh consumes. Before smart meters where a thing I used to have a light sensitive transistor taped to my meter and just count the pulses.

For me (KD-55X9000H) the default settings give low power consumption. Enabling WiFi does not make a difference. Enabling HomeKit Wakeup (not Airplay, as I mentioned before) gives a huge power usage. Disabling it again doesn't bring it

Imho one of the benefits of unit testing is precisely that you have to write/refactor your code to make it more testable and in the process you uncover and fix flaws in lacking abstraction and isolation.

The hardware is not the problem imho. You can even play it without any special hardware, just on any PC/Mac with Chrome. Even controllers are mostly optional. For me the problem is investing in a game library. Most AAA games have to be
