As others stated, there are many rough edges and footguns in the stdlib. BUT ... in my (and yours apparently) opinion, it's a matter of knowing those edges/guns, and work with them. Like you, I also prefer to create my own code ar

2160p content in h264 will be too big to normally manage. h265 is way better at it. file sizes stay within normal limits.

You have to tap the button on the hub and then you have 30 seconds to send a specific package to create a user. So yeah, not super, but also not totally u authenticated

Totally agree. I got a philips hue dimmer switch for next to the bed. One of the best things I got for the home automation. Just click it and everything in the house goes into night mode. no phone needed.

jiggling the mouse generates random data. The installer uses this for all kinds of things. Some older versions of gnupg also stated 'please move the mouse' while generating your key pair just to have access to more random data :)

It's probably a side-effect of licensing deals in regions. Besides the audio/video content, the subs are also included in those (at least I think, it being the reason makes the most sense) All those region regulations worked ok-is

Imagine you are born and raised in brasil. You have a netflix subscription there and you can watch the things you want with brasilian audio and/or subs. Now, you move to another continent. You can watch the same content, but not with t

I just tried, and if you hit 'Tab' a couple of times, it will select the 'Connect' button that shows up after the name of the discovered devices. From time to time I need this to re-pair with my, very old, logitech wirel

Fellow Platform Engineer here, and I can relate 100% with your comment. We decided to stop announcing our engineering jobs and go back to mouth to mouth for sourcing candidates for now. It's a move I didn't want to make as, like y

There are at least 2 problems with this setup (besides the fact that brightness and colors are a lot better on hue then on any of the others) 1) non hue lights wont be homekit compatible (they dont even get exposed to homekit) 2) non hue li

it is unfair, but it's very common. also, we are very hypocritical about it. When it is about india etc, we (us and western europe) think it's normal to pay less, but when it's about different regions within our own countries
