Not sure if you’re still researching, but I really like the Bluetooth ones.

For the Pi4, I use a little USB Bluetooth adapter from pluggable ($13-ish) on a 10-ft USB extension cable to get the module away from other things. I think the pi has Bluetooth built in? But I never got it working. But generic little Bluetooth USB things are perfect. With the USB extension cable I have great whole-house coverage (small house though)

Then for the sensors, I get a 3pk SwitchBot IP65 indoor/outdoor hygrometer.

They’re on sale on Amazon right now for $25-ish for 3, so it’s a pretty good deal.

As far as placement, I have some outside - they’re fine. I try to place them where they’re not getting totally hosed by rain or snow - under a tree or in the greenhouse or under my garage eaves sheltered from direct sunlight and rain.

They are very low power consumption (2x AAA batteries included) and I’ve had some running over a year and they still have more than 50% battery. (The battery level does report to home assistant)

They show up on home assistant immediately after powering up - no apps or anything needed. Just adopt them and set their location in the home assistant settings.

Feels good to finally be part of the 1%

I wish android natively has a roll back option to un-update apps… But that would be too user-friendly, I suppose.

Sounds like you have a high level of financial stability and trust in the State to not blacklist your wallet eyeball

Yeah, we call it “ruby” for red, “sapphire” for not-red, and more generally “corundum”

And then you open it to find an off-putting empty shelf with a half opened sandwich from the other side of the store…

Forgot to mention: controls that don’t suck

You might also ask nicely for folks to send you theirs. Especially since Nintendo is going after Yuzu, I’m sure there’s plenty of folks that would volunteer keys via DM just to stick it to Nintendo…

I’m also in the “my USB Xbox 360 controller is great” camp and wish that they still made them

Just try not to get fakes that are just the normal garbage with drift

Do you want first person factory or third person factory?

Do itttt It’s a great game to lose a few (dozen) hours to

Yep, and if it becomes a frequent request, add clarification to the readme / wiki / documentation.

Also, if you push folks towards issues, then they become indexable by search engines! So even if you have a solved problem you can at least find that… Discord? It’s a black hole.

I can’t understand why someone would want to do that. Maybe it’s my help desk and IT upbringing, but for the few software tools and things I’ve made, if you chat me without filing a bug/issue on GitHub, I’m not gonna help you.

Sony is a Japanese corporation

I, too, have done blender and CAD. Did solidworks in school and then used Fusion. Both have same parametric modeling principles that make modeling work well. I’ve also used blender, and it’s… Definitely not a parametric modeling solution. It could be. Maybe. And if that was an option, that would be amazing.

Hello

IT professional here, can confirm, Linux is superior and my choice of os.

… despite my work being mostly Windows Server.

Also: IT professionals usually have some experience and/or start out with Help Desk (hell), where you quickly learn what is and is not a good issue report.

Sorry, what’s a “PE”?

Man, I’ve had a feeling that LTT and LMG’s content more generally has been less and less about consumers and more about selling things to people. I guess it’s called “advertainment” - but it’s just so intolerable now. I don’t feel connected to, or like any of the content is relevant anymore to a regular person.

When your employees are complaining that they can’t create the content to the standard they want to because of time, it really sounds like a management problem. One they Linus seems determined to ignore so that they can keep raking in big sponsorships and sales of their overpriced over hyped merch so they can buy ever bigger mansions.

The whole tone of the enterprise is off and the vibes are bad.
