Matter 1.4 tries to set the smart home standard back on track
  • Also you need to pay (18k/year iirc) in addition to that as well. Next to the fact that matter itself is quite convoluted from an implementation standpoint.

    It’s really not made with things like startups or niche products in mind. It’s really a standard by and for the big companies

  • If you could regulate something relatively inconsequential, what would it be?
  • If you have a surround setup, try boosting only the center speaker. Dialog is usually played through that.

    Someone else mentioned a compressor. If your tv/hifi has a night mode, it’s doing that exact thing.

  • United States fast food chains in Europe
  • The best part is that if they asked the guy nicely he’d be all too happy to struck a deal for an early retirement, but in typical American fashion they immediately showed up with lawyers and sued.

    He made provisions since to ensure the US Wendy’s will never get that name, including opening more locations so that they’re now a “fast food chain” as well.

  • Boosting that CV
  • I have a cousin that works at a petrochem plant. He told me that all the “common trips” never really happen since they’ve been drilled on how and what to do and how to prevent them, but the second shit really does go down you better have a senior around that has seen that specific trip before. Especially considering there’s tens/hundreds of thousands worth of produce being burned off by the second until things are back under control.

  • My experience switching from Android to iPhone
  • Having moved to iPhone fairly recently I do like the overall experience, however Face ID is by far the biggest downside over a good under screen fingerprint scanner.

    When picking up the phone and holding it in front of my face it works perfectly well, but that’s probably less than 50% of the unlocks I do.

    Most of the time the phone would lie flat on a desk, on a nightstand, couch armrest etc. I can see and interact with the screen just fine, but the phone can’t see me properly. Making me pick the phone to quickly check a notification.

    I’m probably entering my password about 4-5x as much as my old phone because of that

  • Average US vehicle age hits record 12.6 years as vehicle life expectancy continues to improve!*
  • I've borrowed a top spec Audi A6 from 2004 for a bit last year and that had adaptive cruise control as well. Honestly if not for the infotainment GUI, which felt very "spy kids", it would have passed for a ~2020 car as well feature wise.

  • Study Finds That 52 Percent of ChatGPT Answers to Programming Questions Are Wrong
  • The amount of reference material it has is also a big influence. I've had to pick up PLC programming a while ago (codesys/structured text, which is kinda based on pascal). While chatgpt understands the syntax it has absolutely no clue about libraries and platform limitations so it keeps hallucinating those based on popular ones in other languages.

    Still a great tool to have it fill out things like I/O mappings and the sorts. Just need to give it some examples to work with first.

  • Voyager 1
  • Oh I switched jobs, so not switch as in migrate.

    The industry I work in now is very conservative, so Microsoft is a brand people know and "trust". Amazon is scary and new.

  • Voyager 1
  • As someone who recently switched from AWS to Azure I feel your pain.

    Best part is when you finally have a working solution, Microsoft sends you an email that it's being deprecated.

  • How are you making services remotely accessible?
  • If it's only you (or your household) that is accessing the services then something like hosting a tailscale VPN is a relatively user friendly and safe way to set-up remote access.

    If not, then you'd probably want to either use the aforementioned Cloudflare tunnels, or set up a reverse proxy container (nginx proxy manager is quite nice for this as it also handles certs and stuff for you). Then port forward ports 80 and 443 to the server (or container if you give it a separate IP). This can be done in your router.

    In terms of domain set-up. I've always found subdomains (homeassistant.domain.com) to be way less of a hassle compared to directories (domain.com/homeassistant) since the latter may need additional config on the application end.

    Get a cheap domain at like Cloudflare and use CNAME records that point domain.com and *.domain.com to your dyndns host. Iirc there's also some routers/containers that can do ddns with Cloudflare directly, so that might be worth a quick check too.
