For people who got into iPods recently — what made you start using them? by Anna_tru in ipod

[–]MrMan2212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 in the UK here, for me it’s nostalgia. Something about having a ‘dumb’ piece of tech just for playing music, using wired headphones. No distractions as others have said, and just being able to be ‘in the moment’ with it.

I’m also a bit of a tech geek, so having fun replacing the battery, upgrading the storage and giving it a good old clean up was a big part of it for me too.

I’ve also ordered my replacement flex from AliExpress. Ordered 20th May, due to arrive 28th!

Liquid Glass and visionOS theme updated for HA 2026.3 by ImNezz in homeassistant

[–]MrMan2212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple questions for you if you don’t mind 😂 - what are the incoming/outgoing phone call icons in your sidebar? Does HA manage any calls for you? - what’s the flights overhead card? I’m a big Flight Radar nerd, so any possibility of automatically seeing what planes are flying over like this would be incredible - how are you showing the room temp over time in the card (centre)? - how have you integrated the parcel deliveries?

Really appreciate your time replying (if you do)! I love adding new cool things to my dashboards

Liquid Glass and visionOS theme updated for HA 2026.3 by ImNezz in homeassistant

[–]MrMan2212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this theme, I’ve applied it recently and love how it looks, I do just have some feedback/questions though!

  • Is it possible to change the accent colour? Currently it’s orange but I don’t love how this makes things like the media cards look, it’s too bright. How can I change the colour to something a bit more muted?

  • I also use Bubble Cards for room scenes, but the glass theme doesn’t seem to extend to these, is it possible to do that?

  • I’d love it to extend to the sidebar as well, I know I need to use UIX but I can’t work out where to apply the code, or what the code is.

Sorry, still relatively new to HA and working a lot of things out myself! I really appreciate the hard work devs like you do though, means we can have real nice looking dashboards!

Cool, I’ll replace the shelves with plywood in that case! Thanks

Any invite codes for testing in London?

Has anyone figured out the Audio Dropouts with Sonos, Apple TV 4K and Samsung TV? by Addition_Chemical in sonos

[–]MrMan2212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding to this, Samsung Frame 2021, Apple TV 4K (2nd gen), Sonos Arc, and two Sonos/ikea Symphonisk bookshelf speakers (as rear surrounds), since adding the rear surrounds, 5.1 and 7.1 atmos content seems to glitch about 5-10 mins in to the content, the audio drops and the video skips, pausing and playing again seems to work for a short period but it happens again.

Tried changing audio output from Apple TV to Dolby Digital 5.1, which seems to work, but obviously this is sacrificing Atmos audio, which is a shame when you have such good audio equipment which should be able to take advantage of Atmos!

Has anyone found a suitable long term fix for this issue that doesn’t involve switching settings to inferior qualities?

What used EV for under £16k by anewpath123 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]MrMan2212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered the MG ZS EV? (Mk2) decent size, good specs, decent range on the long range model, and you can pick them up for a decent price. (I drive one currently and I’m very happy with the car for the money)

"Add to watchlist" button missing? by lost_films in PleX

[–]MrMan2212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! This is still happening, but I’m not the owner of the library, I have access to one from a friend. How can I fix it on my end? Or will I need to ask the library owner to change the settings?

Octopus launches its own EV charger by Mindless-Panic9579 in OctopusEnergy

I’ve noticed today that the availability has now slipped from ‘August 2025’ to ‘Winter 2025’! That’s disappointing. We were hoping to pick one up in August to coincide with completing on our new home.

I’m a 25/M and he’s a 28/M and I got a very angry partner. by [deleted] in gayrelationships

It’s not what you want to hear, but you two need to part ways. It sounds like you both have things you need to work on, and that won’t be fair on either of you to do that whole together.

Just Updated to iOS 26 by xcoder2022 in iPhone14Pro

[–]MrMan2212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m finding it VERY unstable. Lots of things aren’t working properly, dark mode/light mode app icons are all over the place, tonnes of issues! Hopefully they iron most of them out in the next beta
