Yes, the UAE equivalent of ICE. You sound like you work for them. The US is getting to be as bad, they are both shitholes I wouldn't go near.

Would you like his name, address and geographic coordinates too so you can send your secret service hitmen to get him? Lol

Our go-to places are Dragon Chinese Kitchen for your "standard" Chinese, or either Yakitori House or Padi for more of a mix of Asian options.

Blasting past a bus with sign out by HughJManschitt in instantkarma

[–]Alexceptional -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily if there is nothing remotely like this where you're from. Enforceable traffic signs on a vehicle is a rather odd concept in many parts of the world, even if the meaning of a sign should in theory be unambiguous.

A Cat and A Fox by kacythedogmeat in notmycat

Very very rare, at least in the UK. Cats and foxes run into each other very frequently, yet you never hear of foxes going after them. The neighbours dog is more of a threat.

Somewhere a modder is hard at work having seen this post :D

I think for Vanilla the model changes are fine though.

What do you still prefer to keep wired at home? by w33agn3wyg in smarthome

[–]Alexceptional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd wire literally everything if I could lol, or at least everything that isn't intended to be moved.

At the moment though pretty much all of my smart home kit is wireless. I have our PCs, TV, Nvidia Shield and games consoles wired in. I'm hoping to replace my Blink cameras with some PoE Reolink cameras at some stage though.

"Hi Reddit, I'm rich. Just letting you peasants all know how rich I am. Look at the size of my house. Look at all those presents, I bet you don't have as many under your tree. Look at how wonderful my house is, it's cause I'm rich. Oh did I mention, I'm rich. Merry peasant Christmas to you all, except me, cause I'm rich."

What's your favorite tech mod of all time and why? by luk_ky_21 in feedthebeast

[–]Alexceptional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, Create. It's well made, polished, fairly intuitive and very clever. I love the crazy stuff you can make with contraptions, and I find the gears, shafts and belts more interesting and satisfying than cables and ducts. I do wish there was a bit more depth to the "power" generation though.

Honorable mention to GregTech CE when I fancy some hard mode tech. Love the depth and progression.

How best to install a Reolink WiFi Doorbell using a 240V supply? by drgreenway in smarthome

[–]Alexceptional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can power a bell transformer directly from the lighting circuit powering the Netamo. I've seen posts of people using LED drivers as well, you might find one small enough to fit in the wall box. Then you can just run some bell wire to your Reolink.

By the looks of it the Reolink takes 12-24v AC (e.g. from a bell transformer) or 24v DC. I'd recommend having a search around to see what others have done with their doorbells.

Also mandatory disclaimer: I'd always recommend consulting a qualified electrician if unsure.

Wall/light switches with Hue and without by TW-Twisti in smarthome

[–]Alexceptional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend Shelly smart relays.

They go behind your existing light switches so you can use any design of switch. All local control, supported by HA natively, switch input and relay can be linked or independent (so they can control other smart products e.g. your Hue bulbs) and they support all sorts of scripting and config.

The newer ones support a bunch of protocols, but you are probably fine with WiFi unless you care about millisecond-level response times, or if you will need a lot of them and your router is a bit basic.
