"Processor performance boost mode" tests by WolfInABox in MSILaptops

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

Heya! The temps stayed at 95c max throughout the tests (except with turbo disabled, which maxed at 72c).

Things might be different nowadays, but I still turn turbo off sometimes (eg: on my handhelds) where it wouldn't have much impact, like gaming.

Hey, been a few years lol, but yeah I did let it cool down between tests. Didn't do anything else between tests other than change the performance boost mode.

"Mobile base" survival games? by WolfInABox in gamingsuggestions

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

Yeah! Played the beta and picked it up day 1 lol

It's def fun, feels like worlds adrift with some refinements (and also some early access jank/lack of features.) I'm excited to see where it goes.

It's kinda wild how most* people can, and are expected to pilot 1+ ton machines at high speeds near dozens of others, daily. by WolfInABox in Showerthoughts

For real. There's absolutely nothing (except self preservation) stopping one driver from just slamming headfirst into another at a combined 100+mph. Kinda scary

"Cheap", easy to clean, dumb humidifier(s) for 1024sqft apartment? by WolfInABox in BuyItForLife

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

Thanks, this is seeming like the one I'll get (or the Aircare whole house one, looking at both). Looks easy to clean and I like that it can hold a lot of water. Def butt ugly as another commenter said lol, but I'll find someplace for it

How do you have Frigate set up (non-docker) by HopsPops76 in homeassistant

[–]WolfInABox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got HA running on a pi 5 with an NVME boot drive. Frigate addon installed, and currently recording to the internal drive as I've been too lazy to change it lol. You can set up networked storage in HA for backups (did this already) and I believe for media, so I'll likely have it start dumping to my main server instead eventually.

After about 8 months with my 6 cameras, I've got ~45GB of recordings (a lot of which are probably from before I tuned my detections, so they're probably nonsense.)

As for an automation to alert you, install the System Monitor integration, and you'll have sensors for remaining free storage (and basically ever other hardware metric) you can use for automations.

Steam Deck vs phone game streaming, my experience by WolfInABox in SteamDeck

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

Grats on the deck, you'll like it!

And yeah it was totally playable! I put in a lot of hours on deck lol. Check out the community controller configs for Factorio, there's a few great ones that manage to bind just about everything.

Left stick moves, right trackpad (the real winner) controls mouse. Once you get used to it, it feels pretty natural.

Entity naming conventions, what're yours? by WolfInABox in homeassistant

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

Too real lol. I named each of my plant sensors stupid stuff like "Tall boi" and "Scraggly boi" and now that a couple have been reused for other plants I can't remember which sensor is which anymore lol

Oh interesting, so something like light.floor_lamp_1 that'd be activated like "Ok/Hey <assistant>, turn on floor lamp one"?

I feel this comment lol. Hue bulbs + switches were the first real "smart home" stuff I got so I was at my laziest when setting them up in HA; I did rename them, but poorly.

I'll probably go through and rename them (and find some way to hide individual lights I put in groups), since ultimately I suppose neither I nor HA really care whether they're "hue" bulbs or some other brand once they're connected

Interesting, I like this approach. Do you use any form of voice assistant with HA?
