I 3D print enclosures for my projects. Usually I find an already designed one on Thingiverse that fits close enough. If you're using common components you're likely to find an exact match.

This is also the case at my (large) company. We have a lot of Java code around, but anything new is Kotlin. The teams pretty universally strongly prefer it.

I have a low end Bose bluetooth speaker that connects up instantly to any of my powered on devices (2x Macbook, iPhone), and can switch between them seamlessly with a button press. I've also never had any issues with Sony WHM1000XM* he

Idea: put 2 on the car, opposite each other. Provides redundancy in the event one is damaged & increases usability by not being fussy about the specific parking situation.

Since when are High Yield Savings Account s investments? They're FDIC insured bank accounts and inherently (essentially!) zero risk.

Corrosion is still a problem anywhere they salt the roads (i.e places it snows). Much less of a problem than in the past, but still an expected thing at a certain vehicle age. Normal driving results in tiny rock chips over enough miles and

I think that may be a universal experience with TV repairs, based on a friends experience with a name brand. He had to bring it to a local repair shop where they then held it for over 6 months. Maybe he was just unlucky.

I use both as well and see no reason to pick only one or the other. The USB stick hubs are very cheap and Home Assistant does all the heavy lifting seamlessly. Having both gives me pretty much unlimited flexibility. For devices I usually pi

Interesting, maybe your ZWave dongle is not the greatest? I also run a mix of ZWave & Zigbee with their own appropriate dongles plugged into my Home Assistant server and they've both been great. No issues with devices dropping or n

I’ve never experienced Gradle outright breaking itself, but it does deprecate things at a high rate. We try to update dependencies whenever we touch a project, which every few months means making an adjustment for whatever Gradle decided to

I just put my iPhone 13 into my microwave while playing music on my AirPods Pro. They kept playing reliably until about 10 feet away, where breakup started occurring. By 15 feet the connection was gone. Walking back into the 10 feet range t

Seems to be broken atm - I tried a few songs and it fails to load them. The Spotify API responds with a 403 "User not registered in the Developer Dashboard" https://i.imgur.com/bDdl0yz.png

I don't think anyone wants an iMessage specific messaging app. But if it works on Android like iMessage does on iPhone, I bet people would use it. On iPhone iMessage isn't a specific app, the single app just communicates via iMess

To me that seems like an invitation for catastrophic bugs or problems to creep through and surprise you in prod, since the lower envs are running different a different configuration. I suppose it's entirely dependent on the type of dat

Why would you need to prioritize one over the other? Plumbing, electrical, etc already utilize the same spaces inside of walls and floors. No reason this couldn’t be done the same way without cutting down the living area at all.

Some software really prefers to control the whole host, usually highly integrated stuff. Some examples: - Unifi Controller installs like a half dozen dependencies to run (Mongo, Redis, etc last time I used it), much easier to isolate all th

You’re (presumably) an informed tech geek based on hanging out here - so your view makes sense. I do not believe that’s the case for the general not tech-informed public though. When I think of friends and family not in tech most of their v

I love the idea, but yeah that outcome was predictable. Home automation is very much still in the hobby stage and most people simply don't care about it. I own my home & am into automation - but I don't plan on living in this

Paperless is one of my favorite pieces of software. A few years ago I got fed up with my filing cabinet full of folders & tons of documents that didn't quite fit into any of the categories. I installed Paperless on my home server &

Having been involved in both sides of other certifications before (not FedRAMP specifically though) my level of trust in them is through the floor. So much meaningless box ticking & not much actual substance.

Not sure I agree with that. We've been using Kotlin on all new projects for the last year or so and I strongly prefer it over Java at this point. It has many language conveniences that make the code more succinct. Suspend functions als

AirPods or AirPods pro? My current set of AirPods Pro have long outlasted my original set of AirPods in terms of battery longevity. Both very heavily used. It seems the switch from pouch cell (in regular AirPods) to button (in Pro) made a h

I don’t want OTA updates for anything on my vehicle, ever. It should remain a reliable appliance by default, auto-updates destroy that predictability. I would like to be able to update at my leisure via USB drive though. My current vehicle

I don’t see any references to physically harming people in your examples. I also don’t believe anyone is implying violent crime when comparing to other types of theft.

I’ve never seen anyone compare wage theft to violent crime like you’re implying. It’s usually in the context that wage theft is a much larger problem than people realize - to the point that depending on which source you choose it’s either

None of their examples were aggressive, let alone very aggressive. To me just sounds like someone who knows how to drive a little better than most.

I got a full MacBook Pro replacement when my MBP had something wrong causing it to charge extremely slowly - completely on Apple's dime. They first sent me an overnight shipping box to send in my MBP, where they then replaced the top c
