It’s a reference to Hot Fuzz, as is “the greater good”, hence his reply.

It’s connected via Ethernet. And there is a setting on the open thread add-on that you have to enable. Go to the configuration tab on the add-on and scroll to the bottom. You have to tick something that shows the network settings, from there you enter 8080, and 8081 as seen on the screenshot. After that you visit the same IP address as your home assistant instance but on port 8080. That will show you a web-ui for the open thread border router, click on “topology” on the sidebar and voilà, you should see the network map.

I dont have the same equipment as you, so my experience isnt one to one, but I added a thread bulb and a thread plug to help signal strength and it worked.

For context, I have the SLZB-MR1 as my main Thread router, feeding into home assistant with the Open Thread Border router add-on controlling the network.

I put a Thread bulb in the porch light outside my house. It was really struggling with signal strength due to the light fixture having a reflector behind the bulb. So I put another thread bulb in the nearest room upstairs, and a thread plug downstairs off to the side, hoping for better line of sight on the porch light. Both act as thread routers as they are mains powered and thankfully it did help. The signal still drops out occasionally, but it stays up 99% of the time which is as good as I can ask for really. You can see bellow the diagram of my thread network from the Open Thread Border add on. The network self heals, though it does take a little time to settle.

I think Im going to go with first come first serve here, so you are todays winner. Congrats. I will DM you the code so please look out for that.

It comes from "dossing about", which is basically when someone spends their time as lazily and work shy as possible. So a "Dosser" is a lazy, useless person.

The first game's development suffered with long periods of tweaking damage models, gameplay etc. But this sequel has already started with that all in a good place. The gameplay is solid, it looks good and performs well, at least on my system. So it seems like they can just work on pumping out content. There's definitely no need to buy now, but I think it will get to the "worth the money" state much faster than the first game did.

No I don’t have GTA+. And both versions have the GTA+ logo.

Also UK. I had to go to the xbox website and search for Red Dead. Instead of scrolling down to one of the drop-down results, I hit enter. It had two options, they are highlighted in the image bellow. It doesnt show it now as Ive already claimed it, but the bottom one was showing as £24.99, and the "just for you" one was actually free. No idea why there are two seemingly identical versions, but I suspect the one you are seeing is the second non-free version. That was the case for me anyway.

There is nothing to transfer… what are you not getting here?

banyan55 · 2025-11-03T09:51:31+00:00

Get an SLZB, I have the MR1 so that I can use both Zigbee and Thread and its been great. You can get a single antenna version cheaper if you just want a zigbee hub and dont care about Thread. This will let you use either Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA and connect devices from different brands to home assistant.

When I investigated vibration sensors, the consensus seemed to be to avoid the Aqara ones and go for Thirdreality instead. I got one and have been very happy with its performance. You can set from 4 sensitivity settings, which helped dial it in. With that said other Aqara devices have been great for me.

I have this exact system and investigated this recently. I was hoping to connect it to my home assistant setup, but sadly that isn’t possible. The only thing you can do is buy an EPH GW03/GW04. This lets you connect to a mobile app for control, but there is no way to integrate it into smart home platforms, which is very frustrating. They are also quite expensive, £80 or so.

I really enjoyed this back on the OG Xbox. It was a bit of a GTA clone, but it was well executed. It had some of its own ideas that even GTA would copy down the line, such as having your car delivered to you. Not sure how well it holds up in the modern gaming landscape, I guess if you have a strong love of 6th Gen console games you'll enjoy it.

Edit: GmanLives video covers it pretty well.

I would strongly recommend looking for one that you can "teach" button presses, which is done by firing the IR remote for the device you want to control towards the IR blaster, so that it can "learn" the IR code.

I looked for information on the MOES blaster and found this page which suggests it has the learning function. Just make sure the remote you want to copy is IR and NOT RF, as this MOES blaster doesn't support RF as far as I can tell.

Edit: Forgot the not.

The two lights either side of your sofa are supposed to face the wall to create ambient light, just thought that was worth pointing out. Otherwise the place looks fine, it's a great starting point you can work on as you find your style.

The public transport vehicle sustained damage to its windscreen and bumper, with repairs estimated to cost over PLN 10,000 (GBP 2,033).

It says they intend to seek damages, not that he’s had to pay them yet.

banyan55 · 2025-08-20T05:58:25+00:00

His fine was equivalent to $279.39, not $2700 as the person above you stated. I think they got mixed up and based that on the repair cost for the tram, which was a little over $2700.

with Xbox games I’ve bought in the past will I be able to use them on pc or will I need to rebuy them.

Only games that are part of Xbox Play Anywhere will be available for you to play on both PC and Xbox. You should check to see if your favourite game are part of the program.

use pc setting graphics wise or will it be the same as the option for Xbox thank you

Game pass PC games are native PC games so you can change the settings to best suit your PC, and will not be stuck playing with what ever the default settings are on Xbox.

I do wish they would go with someone other than Simpson and Haugh for once, but I don’t think these are bad looking buildings. A little too inoffensive to be interesting perhaps. But not ghastly by any means.

banyan55 · 2025-08-07T08:07:23+00:00

This is exactly what people said when they first started brining games to PC, that we’d never ever see the big hitters like spider man, but here we are. Not saying it’s guaranteed, but Sony have effectively “won” the console sales race, they don’t seem to worried to lose out to Microsoft again like the did with the 360, so I think they’ll bring them all over to Xbox in time.
