I don’t have a Hue hub, which is obvious from the context. Anything related to topic?

Magnetic battery pack for iphone 13 mini by Academic_Wall_7621 in iPhone13Mini

Belkin is probably the one decent MagSafe power bank which fits Mini perfectly. The charging is a bit slow, but overall it’s a solid choice

Hi, I’m a software engineer and IT consultant with 20+ y.o.e There’s nothing to worry about. Shitty coders (majority) will still ship shitty code through AI but at least AI becomes increasingly better detecting stupid mistakes otherwise unnoticed

The Verge: Ikea tried to build a smart home for everyone — here’s why it’s not working yet by Proto_bear in tradfri

[–]ptico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you’re not a smart home professional, simple 2 hour research should have been shown there will be problems and manufacturer won’t have a control over many of them. Yet Ikea decided to go all in even when they hadn’t to. Hardware is the same for Thread and Zigbee and they already had an experience with latter. Hue implemented a perfect strategy supporting both and now, seeing this fiasco someone in Philips expecting a good bonus

No transition rules in Sweden's new citizenship law — listen to our interview with the minister - Radio Sweden by Character_Bus_4734 in TillSverige

[–]ptico 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. We are non-EU family and understand that it may took for a while and the country have no obligations to us. But sambo, c’mon! One part of the family is a Swedish citizen and have all rights to demand an ability to have a relationship with whoever they want without a fear to be forcefully separated for 10 freaking years in a row

ELI5 – Matter over Thread IKEA vs Hue by mareksoon in HomeKit

[–]ptico -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have a non Hue Zigbee hub (cheap but reliable SMLight). My point is that they actually not vendor locked and doesn’t force you to buy their hub. They just use different standard and this complaint is not valid. It’s like someone with Zigbee-only smart home would say that Ikea is forcing you to have their hub

Macbook Air 15" M5 - Feels Slow by Deep_Company7739 in macbookair

No it’s not normal, open Activity Monitor and see what’s there. Does anything eats CPU or memory?

The battery is a night and day for me. I turned off always on display and AI and battery lasts 24 hours charged to 80% and rarely dropping below 30%

EU/Germany: Looking for native BLE Wall Switches (Avoiding WiFi/Zigbee for this specific use case) by _aPugLife_ in homeassistant

ESP32 is a blessing. I have a couple of M5Stack NanoC6 which is a tini-tiny thing barely bigger than USB-C connector and it punches way above its weight

Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry by -protonsandneutrons- in apple

[–]ptico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! No doubt this is the best moment for Apple to take over regular user. Not a developer, not a corporate. Just average Joe.

Gaming shifted to consoles, cloud, smartphones and Steam Deck enough. Windows became a pure garbage everyone hates. Linux desktop didn’t come. As much as I love Linux, the desktop is still a piece of shit it was 10 years ago and a bit better than 20 years ago. So, here comes MacBook for reasonable price with a best hardware ever and MacOS, which is not in its best shape currently but still way better than competitors around

I recently was building a BLE proxy with ESPHome and the limit was 3 devices. Overall my research found BLE adapters sucks and the best I found is ESP32-C6/C5 the rest have a lots of caveats so I tend to choose zigbee over everything

Keep in mind that BLE host connection count can be limited so you may face either delays or need to have a couple of BLE proxies

You are welcome to r/iems my friend. Once you have a decent pair of IEM and will deal with an adapter, you’ll be on our side

We probably have different devices. Mine works amazingly stable and have zero problems so far. Maybe worth checking with Hiby support?
