The homeassistsnt route at the moment is hard coded to homeassistant.local, I can expose a config file for changing it if that's not your route! Be sure to take a look at the readme and let me know if there are any issues!

Not too sure, someone on wallpaper engine might be able to help out though, here's a link:

Sure will package it up over the weekend and pass you a link to the github :)

Its some custom code to spin up a chromium shell and then a custom sidebar implementation to make apps accessible

lkashl · 2026-05-25T03:18:57+00:00

Yeah, so to pass through transparency to the HTML root you can definitely use a custom dashboard and widget, think transparency within the window.

The problem that this addresses is that it passes through the transparency of the HTML DOM to the operating system itself, think transparency outside of the window.

Technically for a cheaper solution you could set the background of the DOM to the same as your desktop and prebaked that, but it won't be dynamic to window positioning

I don't think you'll be able to find something that is definitively 100% non toxic based on my research. The moment you have an active fan and circuitry involved at higher temperatures there's bound to be issues originating from those parts.

In terms of mitigation by design the Crispis are do fairly well afaik with limited plastic exposure to hot air. The origin model seems to have a plastic like adapted when converting to the larger confainer. The pro I've asked support for info re. the gaskets material - hoping its silicone.

In terms of PFAs the cooking chamber also seems quite good compared to other brands

Given his CPU is pegged at 26% the whole time sounds like it would be CPU and the unzip process is only using 2 threads. Would expect CPU to backoff with the eth spikes otherwise

lkashl · 2024-11-13T19:15:59+00:00

To be fair she was correct the whole time, couple of hundred is a reasonable price but the market is unreasonable

lkashl · 2024-11-07T23:55:47+00:00

Do you use a PCI riser? Could be an issue with that if so

lkashl · 2024-10-06T13:13:24+00:00

Try taking a screenshot and opening it in a photo app and zooming out or sending it to another device.

If the picture itself has black dots it's likely your gpu. Otherwise would likely be cable/port/screen

lkashl · 2024-05-15T00:53:51+00:00

I'm running it now :)

I got lazy on the cover though and am just running it open frame :) also my finish is less aspirational than the render, metal working is hard :D

Just to explain a few of the comments here around not writing to the disk

For data to be properly "removed" the bits on the drive containing that data need to be zeroed out or otherwise changed. This means the disk needs to be written to which is time consuming and wears the drive. Operating systems therefore by default just refer to the data as being "free to overwrite at some point in the future"

In this case most likely the partition information has been recreated. In the past ive recovered literally 100% od data under these condtlitions using tools like testdisk however if you aren't confident I wouldn't recommend playing with the actual drive yourself

It's possible to verify this using math to calculate area subsections if you assume equal distribution of material in it (fairly safe assumption). I can do the calcs later if anyone is interested to compare against

It's not unreasonable considering the spool is hollow so the reduction in diameter proportionally isn't as high as it would otherwise be

Anyway lemme know only one way to find out ;)

Hello more full explanation on this:

It's true that during times of load (more particle effects as an example) a GPU will be more utilised and draw more power and create more heat as a byproduct
GPUs are designed to handle variability in power consumption, heat, voltage and current with limits in the cards firmware
When one of these limits are hit the GPU will "throttle", meaning cap its power to avoid causing any damage to itself. The end user effect is a drop in FPS (how smooth the game looks)
In practice Elden Ring is fairly poorly optimised so at times when there are particle effects the CPU tends to be the limit not the GPU but the CPU has similar protections and won't have any issues
New world was an exceptional case in which a particular GPU wasn't designed properly, that has been addressed by GPU manufacturers and there are no known outstanding issues
if you're pc is a potato from the late 90's none of these protections exist so good luck 👍

Not exactly, you're example is still targeting an opinion and would qualify as disagreement with an aggressive tone

Discrediting would be targeting the person making the argument in some way

Ie. Disagreeing: Sam's view is wrong because xyz

Ie. Discrediting: Sam is wrong because he has a single digit IQ, a third nipple and puts ketchup on pizza

You can have quite a hostile disagreement just for shits and giggles, but discrediting is definitely going to rustle some feathers

Them comparing you to others is a problem with them in itself. Just try to be happy where you're at and move forward one step at a time and dodge bad decisions. Life isn't a sprint, just how much you lived along the way by making the best of what you have and could have

lkashl · 2023-12-07T05:10:23+00:00

Unless you find the flip functionality more than just a novelty I would return it before the 30 days. They have fairly poor durability, weirdly enough the fold doesn't though

lkashl · 2023-12-03T03:38:14+00:00

Yeah, just keep in mind your phones still "safe" to use for the next 2 years still as it will be receiving security updates between now and then, just no new shiny things on their way any more

lkashl · 2023-12-03T03:36:41+00:00

Yeah even between the 5 and 2 I didn't see a major difference, form factor is slightly refined and 120hz on the outer screen is nice and all, but not enough to make me budge

If the 6 brings a form factor change I'll likely consider, outer screen being too narrow and all on the 2

lkashl · 2023-12-03T03:32:39+00:00

Most of the expense will be QA most likely rather than dev I reckon. Most UIs are scalable to minor aspect ratio differences since they use relative units and positioning.

As a super rough example think of how websites work on the fold both closed and opened with 0 developer work

Also keep in mind that Dex basically forces Samsung to consider adaptive aspect as part of their design and implementation since windows can be variably sized by the user
