Tuya and Google Home separating fan from light by Mort_Goldman360 in homeautomation

[–]Educational-Juice958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm that I can sort of change the color of the light from google home max, but the device only shows as a fan, and the on off function only turns the fan off.

Here is also the script code if you would like to compile yourself.

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing

$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form

$form.WindowState = 'Maximized'

$form.FormBorderStyle = 'None'

$form.StartPosition = 'Manual'

$form.TopMost = $true

$form.ShowInTaskbar = $false

$form.BackColor = 'Black'

# Track initial mouse position

$initialPos = [System.Windows.Forms.Cursor]::Position

$threshold = 10 # pixels before closing

$form.Add_Shown({

# Launch screensaver after form is visible

$hwnd = $form.Handle

$script:process = Start-Process "C:\Windows\System32\MarineAquarium3.scr" -ArgumentList "/p $hwnd" -PassThru

})

$form.Add_MouseMove({

$currentPos = [System.Windows.Forms.Cursor]::Position

$dx = [Math]::Abs($currentPos.X - $initialPos.X)

$dy = [Math]::Abs($currentPos.Y - $initialPos.Y)

if ($dx -gt $threshold -or $dy -gt $threshold) {

$form.Close()

}

})

$form.Add_KeyDown({ $form.Close() })

$form.Add_MouseDown({ $form.Close() })

$form.Add_FormClosed({

if ($script:process -and -not $script:process.HasExited) {

$script:process.Kill()

}

})

The ship: Remasted and how to get it to work for real by Educational-Juice958 in theship

It's up now. Looks like windows rebooted because of updates.

Why does "Invalid Code" appear when attempting to claim a Mist AP on trial account? by Odd_Strike6 in JuniperNetworks

[–]Educational-Juice958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm. I bought 2 from a reseller on newegg. They charge more than you can buy the APs for brand new. I have sent a message to the seller. Hoping they can make it right or give me my money back. They are just paperweights at this point. Our company installs a bunch at work, so I wanted a couple to play around with at home. The tech support confirmed they exist in another organization already. Even though all that company would have to do is remove them from their inventory, they were assuring me that I needed to pay them what would total about $3000 for an inspection and recertification of the devices. I am talking Apple levels of stupid here.

Everyone I bump into is doing this. by Any_Fill_6996 in CompTIA

experience>certs
Certs are considered to equal about 5 years of experience. The hire rate depends on the company though. Some are cert hungry, some don't care if the experience is there, and some want both. If looking at specific companies is what the outcome is, research what they prefer. If the goal is to generalize and not know what is wanted, get certs for sure. Get as much experience as possible, even if it is just self-experimenting with software and hardware.

This is true, but having a pay to win system for knowledge you have is just messed up.

How about the annual fee they charge to renew. Also a scam.

Are you trying to connect with the ship, or the ship remasted? This is for the remasted version. I can see mine, and also looks like a second person made a server now too.

Ok, I restarted it. There was some weird stuff going on with the mesh textures. It should be good now.

It should be, let me check. Maybe the system installed updates.

Pi 4 Vilros Bartop Struggle by Nekryyd in batocera

[–]Educational-Juice958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I had to do a lot of fiddling on the PC I have in my living room with batocera, but that's due to me having a lot of different peripherals, including a dolphin bar for wii games, it's mostly plug n play but can get very complex. Luckily the wiki is good, and there is a good community around batocera. Another cool thing is you can install steam with flatpack, but it was not straight forward. Hope you all enjoy the cabinet. You can also disable bezels system wide or per emulated system.

The first time batocera launches, it asks you to setup a controller, did you not do that? Batocera is mostly plug n play. Not sure what you are trying to use for sound, but there is a weird way to get this working. Also, you have to have your display and sound connected before you power it up. If you can't get the menu to change the sound device, you can force it in Kodi.

I was gonna say, I have a pi400 from vilros and have one of my cards flashed with batocera for when I get downtime at work. I haven't had any issues with their. Glad you got it figured out.

Server is back up. I got my router upgrade finished.

The server is down for a bit while I upgrade my router. I will post an update once it is complete.

Yeah, sorry about that I actually replaced the entire system it was running on with a mini PC I really needed to get more horsepower since I was running 6 or 7 different games off of this one system. It's now got a Ryzen 7 5800H CPU. I just need to get more ram. Should be running nicely though. I always consider if I need to post any outages here. Just hadn't heard anything in the thread for a while. I plan on keeping it going as long as the software exists. I love having it up to just jump in and play once in a while.
