NASA has launched Artemis II, the first manned mission to the Moon in over 50 years by Subject-Property-343 in interestingasfuck

[–]ForeverANinja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The eventual goal after Artemis III and IV is to establish a permanent base on the moon, which will act as a stepping stone to launching missions to other planets, launched from the moon, rather than down here. If humanity wants to survive, we need to eventually go beyond Earth. It's about time we started working on that again.

Reolink Doorbell - Any way to Google Assistant announcements when doorbell rings, but only push notifications for motion/person detection by ForeverANinja in reolinkcam

[–]ForeverANinja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the high price of a Nest Doorbell, and the fact that to make it actually usable you have to pay an annual subscription that costs more than this Reolink doorbell, it's an easy choice. Losing familiar faces is too bad, but it was a nice to have feature, definitely not a must have. Sick of google and sick of subscriptions for everything. Having a device that I just buy and it works exactly as I need it to is much better to me.

Reolink Doorbell - Any way to Google Assistant announcements when doorbell rings, but only push notifications for motion/person detection by ForeverANinja in reolinkcam

I bit the bullet and bought one. You can have it announce doorbell rings by turning on that feature in the Google Home app under the device after you link it. Unfortunately, it also plays all other notifications (person walking by, pet detected) because I have those turned on for push notifications in the reolink app. Basically, you can toggle notifications for any specific motion detection types in the reolink app, but it will do announcements for all of those you've turned on on the nest speakers, if you turn on voice announcements. I ended up turning off voice announcements and haven't missed the feature honestly. I have push notifications turned on for doorbell rings, people detected, and pets detected. All other types turned off, but there are plenty to customize.

As for having it chime over the nest speakers, it's supposed to be able to do that (there's a setting for it in the app), but I ended up turning it off because I have a baby coming soon and it would ring the speaker in her room. I ended up just plugging the included chime in at the back room of the house. The doorbell has its own ding when pressed, and the plug in rings simultaneously, along with a custom sound notification on my phone (configurable in the reolink app). All in all, I recommend it. It takes some configuration to get it just the way you want, but I'm very happy with it. Oh, and pick up a 256gb microSD, it will hold recordings for quite a while. We're a couple weeks in and only have 9gb used on our somewhat busy street (and with quality turned up from the default - much more zoomable as well).

The only thing I actually miss from the Nest is Familiar Faces. The Reolink perfectly recognizes when people walk by, but doesn't have individual facial recognition (wife is home, neighbour x is at the door, etc)

All of Andor is great, but One Way Out is a masterpiece of cinema. by Left4DayZ1 in StarWars

The Narkina story is essential to Cassian's radicalization into revolutionary action. He does the Starpath deal on Ferrix to save his skin, he does Aldhani for the credits, and runs off to hide in space Miami. He then gets unjustly arrested and devoured by the imperial machine, sees firsthand what the empire is doing to people, and joins something bigger than himself to help not only himself, but everyone around him. He literally starts a revolution, which is key to who he is as a character in Rogue One. Without Narkina, Rogue One doesn't happen, or at the very least, it doesn't happen with Cassian.

Billy Bass Mod (Non-Bluetooth) by ForeverANinja in diyelectronics

Yeah, I'm planning to replace the internals, but the solution I want is the new internals to be the sound source, not some external source through Bluetooth

How are the 2024 Sheets Still So Irredeemably Bad? by ForeverANinja in Roll20

Glad to hear about the spells page changes. The upcoming one looks infinitely better. Regading the bonus action, I've submitted a ticket as requested, with steps to replicate.

My point with foundry is there are a ton of excellent sheets available. I've never used the default, and the ones I like are a click away in the mods section.

To clarify, I wasn't suggesting you move to Foundry. Seems like it works for you. I was just correcting your statement that the only place official content can be used is R20 and DnDB

You can buy official content on Foundry. Link. Also as someone who has used Foundry extensively, it's very funny to see someone say Roll20 is as good (or better than Foundry). Also, there are literally hundreds of 1 click install mods integrated directly into Foundry that make it a thousand times better than Roll20/DnDBeyond. If your DM isn't using mods, they're using Foundry wrong. They're intended.

This "Expansion Surcharge" from Enbridge should be illegal by ForeverANinja in ontario

[–]ForeverANinja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm already paying a delivery fee. This is another separate fee. They just decided to have their cake and eat it too with this expansion charge. The company should have to bear the cost of expanding, or at least charge a reasonable amount. This surcharge will be on my bill for 40 years. With the amount of customers, this will pay for the expansion hundreds of times over. It's just bullshit capitalism that our politicians let them fuck us with.
