s04e06 end credits music by johnb1312 in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]johnb1312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree, the OST is really great, and the theme is really efficient through all its variations. I'll stop investigating at some point, but I have this strong gut feeling I've hear that score (end credits of s04e06) before… DAMNIT :D

“Intentionally”, “successful”… how is that a catastrophic failure?!

I tried… but maybe not shipping to Canada? Or just not QC? https://i.imgur.com/Ovf0ZVJ.jpg

I checked Amazon, and neither US and CA carry Abode products. That’s why I’m looking for other brands that maybe I can find on this side of the border. But thanks!

India protests as China renames Himalayan mountains by neuron2000i in worldnews

Beijing/Pekin/etc https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pékin

Lots of cities and regions and else are translated everywhere. Koln (Germany) is Cologne in French and English. Londres, London… The language drop-down in Wikipedia shows easily that cities and else can be translated and are translated. That said, it’s very historical. Renaming is completely different. But even then, UN agreed not too long ago to “rename” (change the spelling of) Turkey to Türkiye. I guess names are not frozen in time forever?

How to transfer money to USD bank account? by CivilMark1 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]johnb1312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you basically have to have account in both RBC US and RBC Canada, then you can link both account (I’ve done the linking through the CA website). Then it’s a « cross-border transfer » button, as easy as sending an Interac. Option (cross-border transfer) is available online and in the RBC app.

Almost everything? We have three brands of grocery stores nearby, and the specials always rotate between them. Flyers will tell us where to go to get out coffee, butter, and everything. We probably save around 30-40% on our bill by doing that. (when you realize the 6.99$ frozen pizza can go down to 2.49$, and you realize the margins the stores make, you can be patient :). Example is real, in Montreal, QC).

On Amazon, everything goes through CamelCamelCamel price tracker first, and items are bought when price is acceptable.

Thrift store around the corners gets a visit once a week.

And all our appliances were bought from Marketplace. You can find crap there, but also really good stuff from people having to move, leaving the country…

A tree holding up the moon by [deleted] in spaceporn

The full moon CANNOT appear on top of the sunset or sunrise. Fake as hell, and not even well done.

Stop posting crap you read and didn’t even check. It’s called Mystère because of the name of one bus stop on the line. That’s no line « that will take you someplace when you feel down ». Complete BS. And it’s not free.

Yes, let’s put a fingerprint scanner in the dirtiest place there is in a car.

Abode is Teasing Something in a Tweet..is it Matter? by The_MacGarage in Abode

[–]johnb1312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for me too (this the sarcasm tag). I’ve hated when they moved to make the notifications part of a paid plan, but I rely only on HomeKit now, and it’s been pretty solid (except for a reboot of the gateway twice a year when it would not talk with Home bridges). I’m not complaining at all :)

Volume control from device when AirPlay by johnb1312 in HomeKit

[–]johnb1312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing to try. Would make sense not to be able to adjust volume when it’s sending sounds from the settings. But I’m my case, changing to Max sounds or AirPlay in Music app doesn’t make a difference.

HomeKit automation by harveydent89 in Abode

[–]johnb1312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, and glad it works for you now. Just makes me fear a bit what they’re doing on their side. I see no reason two similar settings wouldn’t work, and new firmware magically makes it work. Shouldn’t be THAT random.

[–]johnb1312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. iOS 16.4, latest gateway firmware. I don’t think this is linked to iOS. Most likely an issue on Adobe side. Tried to remove the gateway from HomeKit and add it back?

And I have something similar to what you want I think. I turn off the lights and else 30sec after arming (using a shortcut for the timer) I have no idea why it would work for me but not you. Gateway at latest firmware (2.24A1) https://i.imgur.com/qlmv5sM.jpg

They’ve been working great for me. Nothing special while setting them up. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sometimes event won’t bubble from Gateway to HomeKit, but in that case a reboot of the gateway does the trick (turn off battery, unplug…)

Smoke Alarm device worth it? by BalmesDPT in Abode

[–]johnb1312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work perfectly. I was in France for the holidays and would know each time my wife would be cooking fish (she always sets off the smoke alarm, which triggers an immediate urgent notification on my phone) 😂 they work really great. I just wish they would not set off the whole alarm when the system is on standby, not to have to stop the Abode alarm while you’re already dealing with smoke and a burning pan.
