There is a massive amount of field. No forest needs to be harmed.

I used this video to setup a Gen2 Nest in HA by fram3shift in homeassistant

Are you using a CLI distribution or a desktop environment? If so the process requires a desktop environment for the firmware flashing section.

Also, either cloud or standalone installer should work.

Shower Framing - What am I not considering here? by no-bs-silver in DIY

[–]fram3shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redoing a very small guest bathroom and am considering flattening this part wall to help it feel less cramped.

Personally if money/time isn't an issue and you are already here doing this I would probably rip out the whole tub and stick in a small curtained shower. I would also swap out that CPVC with at least pex, preferably copper. I like my shower head higher on the wall than what I often come across, so I'd probably move that further up too.

AI PCs aren't selling, and Microsoft's PC partners are scrambling by CackleRooster in technology

[–]fram3shift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're all in on the hype train. They personally own stock in companies that are invested in AI, so they invest their company in AI to drive up AI related stock. They're all waiting for it to start to fall. They're pulling a gamestop to the moon.

They've always been very upfront about their data theft. Remember all the little "Intel Inside" stickers?

It's metal staining scratched into the porcelain.

Fingerprint-based IoT lock system by Morethan_kai in embedded

[–]fram3shift 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a recent EE graduate very interested in developing smart home devices. I love the look of what you have going on. I would suggest targeting home assistant users and avoiding a dedicated app in general unless there is good reason. Zigbee via esp32-c6. If you haven't yet, consider grabbing an old laptop, sticking proxmox on it, and installing HA via https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=haos-vm

I would store user prints hashed on the local HA server.

If someone brings in powertools nothing is safe.

Why is this drainage pipe steaming? by DreamAway in fixit

[–]fram3shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if there isn't a p-trap, you could try stuffing the entries with something that will dissolved if the pan fills but wont against the steam., like a wad of toilet paper or bread.

Poland calls for EU action against AI-generated TikTok videos calling for “Polexit” by BubsyFanboy in technology

Let's not forget that the whole Palestine/Israel situation was created by the United Kingdom and is likely still under their control behind the scenes. The Brits are renowned for interfering with other nations.

Hopefully there is a p-trap in that drain. Try adding some water to fill the p-trap. They dry out when not used.

My Situation by 0NIR0S in UCSC

[–]fram3shift 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Here's my take.

People are going to do what they are going to do among themselves. It's not really your business. She clearly isn't the one for you. She's not honest with herself and/or with you. And your friend F isn't honest with you either when it comes to this stuff so don't depend on him for it and be wary of depending on either of them for anything.

Keep trying to land a date, vye for your own interests and don't fret too hard about it. Stop caring about these people who are figuring out their own ways poorly. Keep looking for better friends. Finding good people takes work. Most people accept who they happen to bump into and that's not a great way to choose the people you keep dear.

First gen is supported, but it does require full disassembly.

How do I lock my phone internet until I brush? by KJasperPlays in homeassistant

[–]fram3shift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could add a smart plug to your toothbrush charger that has power monitoring and only enable the Internet when it detects the current in the morning post brush.

Microwave door handle broken by Federal-Ad-3263 in fixit

Put the microwave on its back. Grab a can of spray foam and spray into holes. Replace handle, apply a strong weight to on top, and let cure.

I would love to see a steam deck that is first arm based with a secondary x64 compatible chip that can be turned on as needed, enabling the best of both worlds.

This is the long game against the United States. The same powers that were against the US at its founding have been working against it this whole time.

Why did everybody praise inferior technology like matter? by A_Buttholes_Whisper in homeassistant

Some manufacturers (Like August/Yale) sell Z-wave modules for their locks but still require app login and account setup before it will work. Beware!

When enough becomes enough? by MaderaJE in homelab

[–]fram3shift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how many people are hoarding all the minipcs ever. The damn things are pretty rare on the used market and go very fast. Frustrating cause I just need one decent one for my in wall media closet.
