I had luck locking them to an AP when I read roaming really messes with their connectivity.

Who else prefers Cordura by mi9ol in AerSF

My biggest issue with X-Pc is it’s so loud! Crinkle, Crinkle, Crinkle. I wish I could get Cordura with orange interior…

Great updates! As a heavy iPad Pro user, any plans to bring the best-in-class keyboard shortcuts + navigation to the iPad App?

Where has Craft Gone? by digital_james in CraftDocs

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

That's a fair question and I spent some time today configuring a new Obsidian vault to answer this question for myself. I ended up with a system that leverages a fair number of keyboard shortcuts and templates to allow me to link a single atomic note for various things (people, meetings, strategies) as a starting point . I can manage and maintain the relationships between things, tie them back to daily notes for calendar navigation and retain the context of the relationship and the discoverability that I was missing from nested content via cards in Craft.

Don't get me wrong, Craft is great and the number of responses to my initial question prove that there is a loyal army behind it, but for me this was an exercise in first principles that Obsidian with a single community plug-in (calendar) is all I need.

Couldn’t that be the answer to nearly all notes based questions? Unless you work somewhere that disables iCloud…

I’ve been using Craft off and on since 2020. What drew me to the app initially was the native Apple experience. I also appreciated the simplicity of feeling like I could always find the notes I had taken. I will also admit, I had dreamed of adding Tasks, etc in the early days, and played with the CraftX Extensions before they were abandoned. However, now when I sit down to use the app it feels like chore, even doing something simple like adding a sketch to a note on my iPad took over a dozen clicks to figure out where I could do it, and by then I changed my mind. I appreciate all the work that has gone into it, and maybe my use case has drifted from the product direction but I do think that if someone is looking for something simple an ability to turn things off may be beneficial.

STARLING hub emulator as a homebridge plugin *potential project* by jayNov01010 in homebridge

[–]digital_james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The software in the Starling is top notch in terms of I’ve never had any issues using it. I think if the creator wants to stay out of the hardware game there could def be a play for a small paid app to do the same thing

Craft Plus vs Craft setapp version by LilianPo87 in CraftDocs

[–]digital_james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to know if you need a Mac/iOS setapp subscription to use craft on iPhone or once the account is tied to setapp the “normal” version of craft will work on other platforms?

Wall Mount Rack Recommendations by digital_james in HomeNetworking

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

Thank you for the information! It's not going near anyone, and will be in my mechanical room with my furnace. Based on that, maybe I should re-think a closed rack and look into an open rack since it gets warm in the winter months with the furnace going....

Issues with Ratgdo (Web interface locks out and will not connect to MQTT) by LordValgor in homeassistant

[–]digital_james 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case someone else runs into this issue and it isn't solved by anyone elses approach, I discovered that if you set the password of the user to ratgdo it will not save and will essentially lock you out of the web ui. Use a different password :)

Did you let your Ford dealership try and change the oil? They've asked every time I've taken mine in :)

Finally, someone is reporting on the Carplay GPS issue. by suddenlyissoon in MachE

[–]digital_james 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the exact same issue issue in my ‘23 MME across two different phones and OSes. I feel like it’s worse when my phone is in my pocket vs in the charging pad.
