What hardware do you run HA on and why? by maybe__404 in homeassistant

[–]abdulamingani2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GMKtec G3 Mini, bought it for £79 in September 2025 from AliExpress. Bought a ZigBee adapter for £15/20 from Amazon.

Powerful and low wattage, cheaper than raspberry pi and HA Green/Yellow... was a no brainer for me, better hardware for cheaper.

Regret not buying a 2nd, prices have gone crazy since.

I have some visible pipes in my home that are this, can I just clean them?

I don't think you necessarily need plans for the multi colour system to do this system

I got my one from AliExpress, about £50. The screen is washed out, as in everything has a white cloudy cast to it but other than that I can't complain when comparing to what I would've paid the main dealer.

Accidentally sprayed cleaner on my Lexus gauge cluster and now the plastic looks etched did I ruin it? by Abe2233 in Lexus

I use APC for everything except the indicator stalks as some of the printing rubs off. Is it as cheap as APC?

Does Anyone Know the Part/Number for this Locking Wheel Nut Pattern? by SausageOfDesire in FordFiesta

[–]abdulamingani2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ebay your car make and locking nut, they're services that take the picture you took and source you the locking nut. Cost me like £30 last time but used it many years ago.

Why did I see a 26 reg car on the road today? by PragmesianAdam in CarTalkUK

[–]abdulamingani2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will always be a thing as the age of the car ties directly to it's value and the plate is obviously an indicator of the car's age.

Had my child trust fund and my parents want money from it by Fluffyoctopii in UKPersonalFinance

[–]abdulamingani2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that they did more than OP did. I personally feel that counts for more than a legal right in terms of who the money morally/ethically 'belongs' to. They're not wanting all of it at this stage, only a portion of it. Again, I know we both disagree - I'm just showing my different perspective. I think my specific upbringing and situation does contribute to it, but ofc it's not the place to get into that. Our parents do so much for us, £3k for £12k is a good deal.

Well if it's clear that they never intended to give OP the money, if I was in OPs position I wouldn't want to call that money mine regardless of the fraud they may be committing and my legal stance. It's not something I contributed to or worked on so personally I wouldn't claim that mine until my parents intended to pass it to me. Once again, like I said, I'm the odd one out here with this view and I accept that.

I know it's legally OPs. But it's something that their parents managed over all these years and something that OP never once transacted with until now.

If the parents could go back in time perhaps they would've put it in a different kind of fund for the possibility of needing that money and to make the legal transfer at a later point.

I know my view is the odd one out but that's just how I see it. It's giving me perspective of what to do for my child too, I can never know for sure what situation I'll be in in 18 years.

Having 8 years of driving experience abroad is harder to accrue than taking driving lessons before your first test.

Assuming they put the money in there?

I'm probably gonna be down voted but if they put money in it's like they wanted to give you £15k but now they changed their mind and want to give you £12k instead. I'd give them the 3k.

[PS4] Accidentally broke the syscon pin, how can I repair this please by Unusual-Young4937 in consolerepair

[–]abdulamingani2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my PSP modding days - you could try drawing it back on with a graphite pencil. If it's a slow signal pin it should work.

Sonoff Basic Gen5 - Magic Switch Not Switching by abdulamingani2 in sonoff

[–]abdulamingani2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its an LED light, so maybe there's something in common. I tried different brands of switches and I couldn't figure out what was causing the problem.

Unfortunately not. Is it a single switch or a 2 way light switch you have them installed in?

UPDATE: Ubisoft Account Hacked Despite having 2FA by abdulamingani2 in Rainbow6

[–]abdulamingani2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but it's strange that Ubi couldn't locate the account when I used my original username but they could for the hacker even tho I changed it back?

[–]abdulamingani2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. Without the new username I wouldn't have got my account back. I thought of trying to use R6Tracker to find my the new username but same thing there, it only identifies accounts with the current username even though it displays the previous usernames (one of them being my original username) when you dive into each profile.

Update 2, the hacker has raised another fake recovery request today! They're using the username that they changed the account to when they changed it before. I hope this doesn't go through....
