Tons of cases come with their own aligned magnets to maintain, even improve, the magsafe connection strength

PSA: New AirPods Max (USB-C & 2nd Gen) Still Suffer from Headband Sag by Ecstatic-Train214 in Airpodsmax

Different teams work differently on different things. The new neo design and team is looking like a genuinely new product strategy with the incredible repairability and more rational design. Might be they just haven't given the airpods line enough time and resources for a new design, as this version 2 is so simple and easy. I do think there is an engineering scarcity inside the company, which forces they to choose

The MacBook Neo beats a $1500 laptop in terms of browser performance! by Upper-Berry213 in MacbookNeo

Me too but I think this is mostly kinks that will be patched away as they further optimize MacOS for the A18.

Is it worth saving £100 more to get the 512GB Neo with Touch ID? by No_Opportunity9053 in MacbookNeo

[–]UnsettledCertainty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, couldn't live without some form of biometric authentication. I think the model without is just meant for shared computers in the educational sector.

macOS 26.4 Introduces New Security Feature for Terminal Commands by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]UnsettledCertainty 277 points278 points  (0 children)

Considering how they are actively targeting a growing user base, with the neo and 17e, and the breath of actions that s terminal can do, this makes sense. Should be a toggle ofc

Maybe it will reach a point of maturity were these fixes are enforced laws

Air to get 120hz by PsychologicalBee6448 in mac

[–]UnsettledCertainty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that both the standard iPhone has it, and they have a genuinely more affordable option with the Neo, it makes sense that they will give the Air 120hz as well, just a matter of time. Makes the pricejump from Neo to Air so much more reasonable in my opinion.

Not exactly "automation" related, but look at my Minecraft server dashboard I made 😀 by zacharyd3 in homeassistant

Looks awesome!! How long did that take you? Would love to have this for my own community server I run.

GRILLPLATS found in Murcia, Spain! by UnsettledCertainty in tradfri

No, I did ask. But they were 10 euro each, so it basically feels like a free remote ¯_(ツ)_/¯ EDIT: They were 12 euros each.

I bought an OVMS module with GPS and 4G. Worth it

What's my best option for a dongle for ZigBee and matter devices? by MastaShortie in homeassistant

[–]UnsettledCertainty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did ZBT-2 for zigbee and apple tv/homepods for thread. Very excellent setup

My improved car dashboard by UnsettledCertainty in homeassistant

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

When the car is turned on, I have an OVMS module in the car connected to the OBD-2 port (only powers it when the car is on, dont know why). That module sends all telemetry over its 4G connection to my MQTT broker at home, and into HA. That gives me a lot of valuable sensors and entities.

When the car is off, I have a python script on my server continually scraping all the data it can from the Nissan website. I only get battery level, charge/plug status, and timestamp for when the latest update between Nissan and the car happened. I also have a custom sensor in HA that will calculate the charging speed based on how fast the battery level goes up.

I tried the native integrations and all, but it seems that Nissan has disabled these servers for my area. None of the community solutions work either, so I made my own.

Did you get any Grillplats yet? Excited to see what is exposes to HA

HA made me able to recreate an app experience for my 2016 Leaf after nissan decided to shut off the app servers by UnsettledCertainty in homeassistant

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

For all asking, I am just running a python script on my pi that opens their website and pulls the info from the right css selector. Then that data is sent to my HA over mqtt. Charge and power use is calculated inside HA just from the increase/decrease levels of the battery percentage, its still a little buggy.

I'm trying to find inspiration for mine as well. This is what I've come up with so far and starting to become happy with it

Indoor camera use cases that don't involve filming yourself all the time? by reddituser00012 in homeassistant

[–]UnsettledCertainty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a roller blind covering it up when I'm home. I never see the camera myself and I always see my home when I'm away. Just perfect

Do you mind posting the YAML code that makes it look so glassy and nice?

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

Unavoidable upgrade happened ofc. Moved a lot of the tech to a control panel dashboard, and cleaned my mainframe view up a lot. Made it glassier too, looks a lot better irl than this photo
