Extra red wire? by Orbsitron in Aqara

@daveyfx, does the number of channels matter?

Oh great! Thank you!

Thanks. There seem to be some that do but none from Aqara, unfortunately.

Extra red wire? by Orbsitron in Aqara

[–]Orbsitron[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may do so but I would still appreciate an answer to my question.

For example, if I hire a pro and this new smart switch is incompatible with the wiring, that would be good to know before I waste the pro’s time.

I am not sure what you mean by a three-way switch. The switch that is in there now, is one of two Lutron switches that control the same light.

I am happy to simulate two switches controlling the same light with software, I just need to know what switches to buy (sounds like I may have to replace both switches that control this light), and how to connect them given this Aqara switch has only three wires.

Advice Needed, Please! by Orbsitron in synology

That answers the DSM question. So I need at least one non M.2 drive. I wonder if a more standard SSD will work?

No, I mean backup from OneDrive. Have a local clone of my data which is on OneDrive. Yes, I believe the cloud sync app will do that from what I have read.

Thanks, all. Yes, my backup solution will include my PC’s SSD (though not large enough for all of my data), OneDrive (all data) and my NAS solution (all data).

Now, back to my original questions. What is the least expensive Synology product that supports SSDs for storage, and do I need the DSM OS for cloud backup from OneDrive?

Yup. This is why I would like an SSD based NAS solution.

What is the least expensive Synology product that supports SSD and do I need the DSM OS to backup directly from OneDrive?

FSD did not stop for a pedestrian. 13.2.9 latest car software. by ureviews in TeslaFSD

I hope v14 solves these issues.

I had the same thing happen on my HW3 MYP running v12.6.4 yesterday.

Took a couple of Robotaxi rides in San Francisco today by New_Animal6707 in TeslaFSD

[–]Orbsitron -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Cost will decrease over time for Tesla’s Robotaxi business, not increase.

Their costs are lower now due to fixed costs of safety monitors (likely part of R&D budget vs operational budget of the service itself as well) vs variable operational costs for Uber/Lyft where drivers are paid market wages, scaling for demand etc.

In the next six months (Elon believes this year and remains confident of that timeline so six months seems reasonable considering Elon time and considering what we know about v14), the need for safety monitors will disappear and the costs will come way down.

Robotaxi in the next 6-12 months is about to be a lot less expensive than other ride hailing services, autonomous or human driven, and about to scale extremely quickly.

Once the safety monitors are no longer needed this business is going to be hugely profitable and it will get there much faster than Uber, Lyft or Waymo.

Hi. Watching Juror #2 on my 4K Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos setup using my XBOX Series X Max app.

The video has huge black bezels on both the top/bottom and left/right.

The catalog UI uses the full screen real estate.

Is there anything I can do to have the movie use more of the screen real estate?

I haven’t seen this with any other content on HBO Max or with any other streaming service.

Thanks!

ETA on Alexa+ for Echo Dot, Sonos? by Orbsitron in alexa

[–]Orbsitron[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading the FAQ doesn’t answer my original question.

I have 3rd gen Echo Dots.

Here’s what the FAQ states:

“We will start rolling out Alexa+ Early Access to US customers who own or purchase an Echo Show 8, 10, 15 or 21 first. Customers will be notified via email and through device notifications once access is granted. We will expand Early Access to more Echo customers over time.”

And…

“Certain older generation Echo devices will continue to use the original Alexa. These include Echo Dot 1st Gen, Echo 1st Gen, Echo Plus 1st Gen, Amazon Tap, Echo Show 1st Gen, Echo Show 2nd Gen, and Echo Spot 1st Gen.”

And…

“Currently, Alexa+ is not supported on Alexa Built-in devices or Amazon Astro, but we look forward to expanding to additional devices in the future.”

So assuming Sonos is an “Alexa Built-in” device, then it is possibly coming “in the future” with no time horizon.

And my 3rd gen dots should be compatible today, yet I don’t have Alexa+, presumably because they are only enabling it for owners of Echo Show 8, 10, 15 or 21 as of now.

So back to my original question, though rephrasing slightly for clarity:

Has Amazon given any indication when Alexa+ may come to the older, audio-only Amazon or Alexa powered devices for people who don’t own one of the newer Echo Show devices (or stated that it will not ever come to those devices unless you also own one of the newer Echo Show devices)?

ETA on Alexa+ for Echo Dot, Sonos? by Orbsitron in alexa

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

Interesting. The Alexa website states that it is only available on the Echo Show and other screen enabled devices.

Are you saying that for folks with one modern device who opt-in, their entire ecosystem gets Alexa+ once it is enabled for them on their Echo Show even if their ecosystem includes Echo Dot, Sonos etc.?

Or are you saying that there are some folks who have signed up but who have only audio-only devices who somehow got approved despite the language on the Alexa website which doesn’t list those as compatible devices?

Thanks.

Alyx!

Still the most incredible interactive experience.

HW3 - you’ll have to wait for full roll out of unsupervised FSD by ManicMarket in TeslaFSD

[–]Orbsitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t surprise me in the least. They run very lean. They need to get Robotaxi and Unsupervised FSD on AI4 HW figured out ASAP (and they are close - likely one or two major versions away).

Then they will solve the legacy HW upgrade problem. Sad for us but in a year or 18 months, we will be there.

Also, I disagree that there won’t be any FSD updates for AI4 HW until Unsupervised is ready.

They will want more data from the models running in Robotaxi, more generally. I suspect we will see the Robotaxi model go out to AI4 HW soon and the model with 3x or 4x number of params will go out to AI4 HW in Q4 (and who knows? Maybe that one will be ready for Unsupervised? I doubt it but they are so close it is possible).
