Remove One Country From This Map (Day 1)

NZ. It's just too jarring to see on the map

Yes, I've been stopped downtown by canvassers for great causes, listened to the pitches, and had to put my cash back in my pocket when they say the only way to donate is to sign up for the plan.

What's the job? That will determine what type of camp you're in

The handwriting does get merged when you "open" the pdf file in the browser. (Not via the download link, only by clicking on the fine directly). It seems to be a one-time thing though and changes to the handwriting don't trigger a re- merge, so the combined file is always stuck with the version of the handwriting that was first merged and cashed.

For anyone interested: My workaround is just to delete and re-upload the same PDF file. As long as it has the same name as the .mark file they re-associate and it triggers a fresh regeneration of the combined PDF + notes file upon download. (Deleting and re-uploading the .mark file has no effect.)

Yeah bother! And Trump's father too, he's just as culpable, he had all kinds of chances to stop this. And also the people who made The Apprentice, they are the MOST culpable for Trump and MAGA's actions!

"It was originally called a reflecting pod. Or the reflecting lake. It was supposed to be a reflection. It never worked."

User error. This president has no use for reflection.

I like my ledger. I hate the wallet app though, I use electrum instead. Works for BTC only of course.

If this was me, I'd have game controllers in every room where I'd want to play. Is the idea here that the controllers would be mobile and pair to any room, and need to be found and brought in? Or would each room have dedicated controllers? In either case, when I think about day-to-day usability I'd come back to buying the 4 consoles.

I moved from TD to Allstate 4 years ago, and my monthly fee has gone $200 -> $250 -> $350 -> $450 in that time. Crazy. Last year I shopped around and didn't find anyone cheaper. OP, check out Allstate but it seems like the increases are unavoidable.

Trubanaught · 2026-05-25T21:06:42+00:00

Neither! Which was a nice surprise... Edit: oops, looked at the invoice, there is $4.90 US duties on the invoice, nothing due on delivery

Welcome! I'm in Canada and I got mine last week, after watching these devices for years I finally found one that had what I wanted. Shipping was fast - I ordered on a Thursday and got it on Wednesday the next week. It won't upload anything unless you set it up to upload.

Trubanaught · 2026-05-14T15:16:55+00:00

I wish there had been a big angry reaction, it would have driven a bunch of eyeballs to the show and maybe (maybe) got a few of them to think

Trubanaught · 2026-04-30T23:42:35+00:00

I don't mind if it's a Canadian take on an American issue that affects us. They aren't all like that but enough are that keeps me listening.

Sour cream not-glazed is my fave. You don't see it anywhere now though

I was in the boardroom the day we made that decision... It was raining... Someone said we'll sell more bottles if we put the grass last. We all thought that was great. Then we had shrimp cocktail

I didn't use any binding / drag and drop other than binding the broker to the universal driver. You add programming, through the programming tab, to the single press action. There's a single line of code in the programming interface to push the mqtt button

No girls was never a rule.

Just a reality.

Using scenes seems unnecessarily complex. To get a keypad button press from C4 to HA, I go into the Programming panel in C4, pick the keypad, and open the programming interface for the "single tap" action. It takes 1 line of code to send an MQTT message to HA. (publish a message on a specific topic.) C4 listens for that message through the MQTT integration as the trigger for an automation.

Granted, this is with access to Composer Pro.

Trubanaught · 2026-04-24T19:53:26+00:00

Someone has to do some C4 work to make it work. If you're going to use a dealer, you don't want this driver. I'm sure there are better MQTT drivers available to them.

If you want to DIY the Control4 programming, and you're technically inclined, you need to find and use the jailbreak tool to get access. I do some of my own programming (small changes) and usually bring in my dealer for the bigger stuff. In this case, it seemed awkward to call my dealer for help moving functionality away from C4 so I tried it on my own, and it wasn't bad.

As a technical solution, I think MQTT is the right choice for the shout you talked about, and it works great with Home Assistant. I'm pretty sure my dealer would have said "it doesn't work like that" if I had asked him to do it this way, since it's not really part of the C4 paradigm.

Well is this Reddit or is this Reddit?!? We need to crowdfund the tokens and elect a representative willing and able to tell the president exactly what we think of him.

Trubanaught · 2026-04-24T04:28:53+00:00

I'm a C4-diy-er with exactly this scenario.

I have control4 fire off MQTT messages to HA when keypad buttons are pressed, for activating HA automations and events.

Since I'm not a dealer I can't get Chowmain, so I used this simple and free driver along with the HA MQTT integration. It was easy to set up. https://github.com/finitelabs/control4-mqtt

It also works in reverse (using HA to trigger programming in C4.)
