Pentax cameras take a different approach with stabilization--rather than stabilize inside lens, which means every lens is shipping its own stabilization solution, they stabilize the sensor itself. It limits stabilization to two axes, but no

Replying to myself--it looks like they do have a new capture framework relying on much newer APIs (requires macOS 14.4). It just isn't rolled out to Loopback yet: https://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2024/04/05&#x

It's worth noting you do have to downgrade security permissions for Loopback, but not for BlackHole: https://rogueamoeba.com/support/knowledgebase/?showArticle=A... I use Loopback and BlackHole both, althoug

I guess power draw on lights is pretty low, but one thing I do with my Home Assistant setup is aggressively turn off other rooms (and I'm on grid): If office computer is used, and "home alone" mode is on, turn off all non-off

How long do your battery-powered devices last? AFAIK a big benefit of Zigbee is that it's designed to be low-power. I have motion sensors that last for 2-3 years on a coin battery, depending on location/traffic. Mains-powered de

For some people, it's just more comfortable. I'm probably just as productive on a trip with my 16" MBP, but I still feel some sort of relief when I sit back down on my multi-monitor setup at home. "I like it more"

It's hard to use a unicycle brake as a true panic brake. It's essentially an ejection seat if you abruptly press a brake too hard. But they are useful as drag brakes! I run a disc brake on my mountain unicycle, and really it&#x2

One note on the Twister is that it does have source code available. I've never looked into it too deeply (instead I ended up using the knobs in enc/dec mode on stock firmware to do full takeover): https://github.com&#

Sort of a strange question on a Valetudo thread, but have you used Valetudo on a lidar-enabled robot? You can easily clean specific rooms, and I've never seen a lidar robot get lost, and very rarely stuck (usually something like manag

You'll have a good experience with zigbee if you have a solid base layer of lights or smart outlets. Mains-powered devices act as repeaters in zigbee networks. Without enough repeaters, it might be tricky to place a distant contact s
