It’s a few hours a month here and there over several years. I started with a few smart bulbs while renting and I have evolved the system as I moved to a new home and installed more things to solve a problem. I didn’t do all of this in a wee

I have a UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell, so it’s as easy as calling the service unifiprotect.set_doorbell_chime_duration and setting the duration to 0. I still get phone and other notifications when the button is pushed! Just no indoor bell.

Haha, just a time based schedule and nothing that fancy. But if anyone out there has made an API client for the Fi collar… let me know!

The UniFi Protect integration is awesome. Turn on outdoor lights on motion, disable loud doorbell ding when the dog is sleeping, change privacy zones, send critical notifications to bypass silent mode on iOS devices when a person is detecte

I bought a new car a few years ago and I was unable to enter my .life email address into the SiriusXM registration form in the car. Had to use a .com address :(

Not OP, but I just accept wildcard *@mydomain and give out a unique name for every business. Works very well and I blocked a few businesses by which do not allow for opt-out and/or shared my address with others. This is easy to do with

I’m excited for native context menus on macOS! This 21 year old bug is fixed in the next version of Firefox! https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34572

The Mac LC chime brings back memories from dumpster diving for discarded PowerBook Duos and DuoDocks in the late 90s.

Yes. My last 5 sneakers were New Balance Made in USA. I believe New Balance is the last brand of USA made sneakers, so I support them whenever I can. Not all of what New Balance makes is domestic but they do have the Made in USA line availa

Wow, I did not know this! Thanks for sharing. Looks like there is a TestFlight link to get Soulver 2 for iOS and iPadOS if anyone is interested in it: https://twitter.com/soulver/status/1375368313774215171 I use S

Soulver is a similar app for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS with shared documents in iCloud Drive. Check it out if you’re looking for something like this to go!

On the other hand, I'm hoping this kind of thing allows Sidecar to work on Macs logged into VPNs.

I just got a few smart speakers as well and avoided Sonos. Decided to go all in on AirPlay 2. JBL Link Music devices are about $70 right now and support AirPlay 2 only operation with no need for another app, just the built-in Home app. I pi

I'm in San Jose and am very fortunate to have AT&T Fiber aerials constructed in my backyard a few months after I moved here from Santa Clara. (I feel your pain.) AT&T now has quite a few customers in my neighborhood because the

Cool, looking forward to your next posts! My understanding is the 2019 hardware has secure boot -- which the 2016 hardware cannot support. The 2016 era hardware has relatively modern firmware versions available, but the hardware security is

And speaking of printer vulns, I believe it'd be really interesting to investigate IPP over USB as a attack vector to pwn otherwise secured hosts. Despite using a VPN which forwards all of my network traffic on macOS, I can still acces

The analysis in TFA is of the previous generation OfficeJet Pro 8720 which was introduced in 2016. This is fascinating but I'm looking forward to folks poking around at the current generation of printers because HP changed a lot about

This is a common perception, but it does not match what I have experienced. I know many folks who have went on to leadership roles in SV without degrees. It does matter who you know, but that matters even with a degree!

Sounds like these runtimes will still be available via a separate download, similar to how Git and other CLI tools download when you first try to use them. Not a big deal. Makes it easier for folks who want newer versions and avoid any stra

Oh no, what happened to Moto Guild? The San Jose location is a treasure and has been expanding the space to include more service bays in the last year or so. The SJ/SV and SF locations appear to be open recently looking at recent photo
