Whether or not she was right, this is what support at my loan serviced told me

I recently picked up a 13 year old dell inspiron to run my instance of home assistant and Plex. It was an upgrade from a shitty old Linux laptop that was literally falling apart. All I had to do was add ram (it only had 6gb and it wasn’t stable, so I maxed it out with 16gb) and I swapped the old slow HDD for a crucial SATA SSD and it’s been perfect. It probably pulls more wattage than necessary but it’s exactly what I need for now.

Hmm. Ok I’ll look into it. Thanks!

I’m not so worried with the electrical or plumbing (I imagine it’s not far off from the dishwasher I just installed), it’s more the installing it to code that I’m worried about. I don’t know all the tools I need and I’m not keen on screwing up and it turning into a multi day job.

Water heater and breaker box work are two things I contract out.

You have a lot more confidence in the Reagan generation than I do as an elder millennial.

This is true for all software releases like this. Wait a couple of patches and update at like .2 or .3

My idea is that the art is being sold and the NFT only says who owns it. It doesn’t need to be digital art, it can be just about anything where an original creator should benefit from the item changing hands.

Whenever the NFT changes hands, there are fees associated, which would include a portion of the sale going to the original artist, a royalty. And because the NFT exists on a publicly visible blockchain, back alley sales can’t happen ensuring that the artist gets paid.

This type of thing helps ensure that artists benefit from their art going into demand and increasing in value.

It works incredibly well with HomeKit too. I use Siri to control my HA managed devices all the time.

Not quite everything.

I can’t get my Meross garage door module into HA so I’m stuck using HomeKit exclusively. But I control most things through my phone so it hasn’t been a problem, just limits some automations I can do with it.

Any guides you can point m to for how to replicate this? I’m handy but I meet some technical limits fairly quickly without instruction. Kinda like cooking, I’m great at it a long as I have a recipe to work with.

The echo chambers are here, they’re just not quite as obvious. And, there are competing echo chambers so sometimes the whiplash between posts is a bit intense lol.

It’s probably because of the instances that some of the subs I’m subscribed to are in lol.

That’s fuckin rad. I thought about monkey branching into that, but then I realized it’s a 100% different hobby with almost zero crossover with racing RC cars, which put it right out of budget for me. Looks like a blast though.
