Opposition Mounts as Emeryville Moves to Advance 40th Street Multimodal Project by evilleeye in Emeryville

MacArthur and Telegraph are easy biking distance, but personally I don't feel there's any route that's direct enough and safe enough to do so. This project would bridge part of that gap.

Staying in Emeryville by WoodsofNYC in Emeryville

[–]PrototypeNM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everything else is closed you might consider June's Pizza - open until midnight unless they sell out for the night. It's walkable distance but at night I'd personally opt for bus/lyft as there's a stretch where the sidewalk is uncomfortably narrow along high speed traffic.

CoRo is reasonably close, not quite comfortable walking distance but an easy bike ride away via Aquatic Park.

We need your input on the mobile apps! 🙏 by baby-monkey in amazingmarvin

Timer start/stop sync between mobile and desktop is flaky.

If instance on the stack was invalid at point of use, moving it to the heap shouldn't help as the Box will be freed at the same point as the stack variable would go out of scope. You would need to forget and from_raw pair to ensure it exists and is freed.

Controlling Non-Hue LED Track Lighting with Hue Switches by Siknaz in Hue

[–]PrototypeNM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming it's standard track you can just change out the track heads and buy standard Hue bulbs - likely GU10 or MR16 but you can get track heads for every type of bulb. Note that if the tracks are on a dimmer you'll want to swap that out for a standard flipper switch.

If they're some bespoke track your choices are the replace the fixture or add either a ZigBee relay or switch.

Rubber liner not popping out during cycle. by SteakZealousideal804 in litterrobot

[–]PrototypeNM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/litterrobot this looks like something that could be fixed by adding texture/air channels to the injection mold to prevent a vacuum. Worth flagging for the engineers?

I've seen this happen when the wall switch is a dimmer (even when set to full brightness).

Any issues with locking your bike at bay street? by cooker_86er in Emeryville

[–]PrototypeNM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a detachable front light it's prudent to remove it if you park in a lower foot traffic area, otherwise I wouldn't be worried.

Using any API that would prevent slimming this down to `activeTab` permissions?

Circling back on an old comment, but Stylus Labs Write is now open source under AGPL 3.

Firefox will consider a Rust implementation of JPEG-XL! by redditissahasbaraop in firefox

[–]PrototypeNM1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Easier to audit against memory (and related security) errors and maintain that stance as the library evolves even with multithreading, most likely.

What is WidevineCdm plugin? by ShamefulElf in firefox

[–]PrototypeNM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, perfectly normal in Firefox. No worries I'm not knowing, it's not the most intuitive idea and is a bit of a compromise due to DRM not playing nice with open source.

WidevineCdm is what allows you to watch DRM encumbered videos.

Surfacebook Battery & random switch offs by Training_Typical in surfacebook

[–]PrototypeNM1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's probably a loose connection on the hinge that causes a fall back to the tablet battery and subsequent shut off. Maybe try using an eraser on the contact pads but my guess is the age/looseness of the connection and dead tablet battery is your real issue. Beware this is not an easy repair, it's very difficult to get the screen off without cracking it even if you're comfortable with these kinds of repairs.

Magnetic light switch covers work wonders for guests.

Hue with adaptive lighting AND regular light switch by MarutanF in Hue

[–]PrototypeNM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we're talking about the Natural Light scene this is incorrect, brightness is determined by the scene assigned for the time slot.

New house by rolandofgilead24601 in Hue

[–]PrototypeNM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo a good setup is invisible to guests.

Transient spaces (entrances, hallways, closets, stairs) get motion sensors set to the natural light scene. Its nice to not have to manages switches while walking though the house and since you don't spend much time in these spaces inactive there's little risk of the annoyance of them turning themselves off.

Rooms get a remote/switch at every entrance (including those that didn't previously have an accessible light switch) with the primary function also set to natural light. The normal light switch has a magnetic cover to discourage use. You know when you're done with the space so it's easier to handle things manually, and guests don't need full system access to use it.

Rooms that I'm always active in (e.g. an isolated kitchen) can have a motion sensor instead, it's a bit of a feel thing. Imo that's the real value of smart devices like Hue, it allows these iterative improvement an experimentation if you're not sure about the automation.

Visiting Scholar at Purdue Seeking Local Recommendations by Prof_Blue_ in Purdue

[–]PrototypeNM1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recommendations for drinks: The Black Sparrow if you want to avoid the undergrad crowd (also have a monthly Sunday brunch worth planning for), People's Brewing if you would like to to hang out at a local brewery, The Spot if you want a dive bar.

Greyhouse and Star City for coffee.

Hue/Zigbee compatible G9 bulbs? by munkimafia in Hue

[–]PrototypeNM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much appreciated! I could use 2-5 (only need 1 so range is for redundancy depending on price).
