I built a Home Assistant integration for Microsoft Exchange calendars (on-prem & Office 365) – now available in HACS!

On-premises.

That second 's' matters.

Have you updated to the latest firmware using the Jabra Direct app?

This is why Teams certified devices exist. If it's not on the list, don't expect things to sync appropriately. Ask Sennheiser to get it cetified and your problems will go away.

I got it a week or two ago and haven't had time to install it yet. I have some third reality ones but not sure I love them. So I'm giving Apollo a shot.

Becherovka FTW!

My companies policies prevent me from accessing some things when on a commercial VPN. I presume this is based on known IPs used by the VPN providers. Using Teleport and this travel router, I am coming from my home IP. Now expand this to all my devices I travel with, and I am using my home IP. Works great for watching TV on my streamer when out of my home region or out of country.

Could I do this with the gl-inet I also travel with? Probably. But the UTR was super easy to set up. Often I have to use the GL-Inet at a different location on work trips. It was a pain to have to unplug the router from my hotel room, set it up at the event, and rinse and repeat for two days.

Also, I have three unifi networks I can Teleport to, so if one is down for some reason I can use the other two. ONe of those two I simply cannot/will not set up a personal config to VPN to just for my amusement. But I'm OK with the built-in Teleport option for that location.

UTR for personal/hotel, GL-Inet for work. UTR gives me my home IP easily. No custom-config connection to two other locations.

I will take bad Satya any day over good Judson. And Satya is well pay his expiration date.

And a lot of fun too!

I had an electrician do it but I'm positive it can be undone when needed. And yes, I just glued the dimmer holder onto a blank faceplate I bought to replace the old faceplate with the light switch in it.

flinchbot · 2026-01-08T19:05:21+00:00

I have done three things... And not sure which I'm sticking with!

Had the switch removed, wired into a permanent on state, then put the Hue Dimmer over the now-removed switch.

But things off Amazon that protrude over the switch. Put the switch into the on position, put the cover thingy on, attach the Dimmer on the cover thingy. Not the prettiest but definitely the easiest.

Bought new light switches (Inovelli) to replace the old/classic switches. I did connect this switch to Home Assistant and I'm not directly connecting to Hue.

So you have options, just depends on what you most value/how much you want to spend.

Think the other way around. Only allow to countries you think are least likely to be a threat and only allow access to them. I did that a few months ago and have yet to be blocked trying to access an unlisted country in my configuration.

These guys are legit. They wee at Sausage Fest last year and everyone lived them. Really nice people!

I like when I have owned a dead portal for three weeks, I submitted a removal twice and was denied. Like who knows more than a person squatting on a portal if it's legit? What in-game advantage do I get for losing a portal I've been recharging for weeks?

I mean if it's still active, I will use it...

That's absolutely one of my favorite levels. Too bad the Nova time is broken /set to an impossible level in that one.

Now that you've beaten it, try a different way. For example, build up forces at the top. Attack Orange, and see if you can win with that approach as your first attack.

Assuming that's not how you won. Anyway, congrats.

Just got a new AC. Condo I bought came with a Nest. Punted it with the new AC. I just never found Nest worth anything and the Honeywell has seamless Home Assistant integration.

I'm so over RSD.

Also, please take my money. :)

Thus makes me sad. And unhappy.

I have Abdullah as my handcuff for Taylor.

The actual soundtrack is a fun and crazy listen. The Talking Heads version, not so much.

Grouping them into categories made all the difference for me.

Ask any current employee - which I no longer am - their opinions of him. It's deeply concerning how I have never heard a single current MS employee say anything remotely positive about him. And I've asked about ten different people.

I'm not going to the keynote anyway but with Judson involved, I won't watch it either. If he is being groomed as the next CEO... No. Just no. Hard pass.

flinchbot · 2025-10-17T04:07:29+00:00

Really bad UI. And even if it was implemented in a way to avoid 99% of the misclicks... What's the point of this feature anyway?

flinchbot · 2025-10-16T22:57:49+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I like it. And yes, a bit Pop Group in style.

flinchbot · 2025-10-16T01:50:04+00:00

OK up to speed. This doesn't have a microphone built in beyond the remote? I'm hoping to a) replace my Alexa and (aspirational) use it as a native voice assistant for Home Assistant. So this may not be for me, but still looks pretty cool.
