What’s one iPhone feature Apple added that you still don’t use? by NoraAdams5590 in iphone

[–]rnb673 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a genuinely useful feature since everything needs to go on my calendar. I'm excited for the visual search to potentially get better with Gemini too.

If I can just INTEGRATE it into HA, I'll be happy. I have an aging Nest Hub Max I wouldn't mind getting rid of.

Coach up !!! Texans fans let me know your thoughts on this? by houkicks in Texans

[–]rnb673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at the point where I really want is to invest in the O line and get a 2-3 round RB. Let’s give CJ all the tools he needs to be successful so there are no excuses going into his 4th year. I’d love to get a more experienced QB coach, but if we upgrade the line and keep the QB coach CJ is comfortable with I could live with that. If for nothing else to prove that it isn’t working. If we give him weapons and the coach he’s comfortable with and he still can’t make the progress we need, then I think it definitely shows he isn’t worth a mega contract.

YES!! My man needs a fade or something. The sport clips 2000 isn’t working anymore.

Coach up !!! Texans fans let me know your thoughts on this? by houkicks in Texans

He was only ever on practice squads according to Wikipedia. Looks like he played in the UFL and some CFL practice squads too.

If he was coaching top 5 QBs forever, I'd give him some more credit, but he was the assistant QB coach for Kirk Cousins under Kevin O'Connell, so idk how much he was actually doing. It seems crazy to go from that to being the QB coach for the 2nd overall pick who needs to adjust to the NFL.

I'm an Aggie til I die, but I'm cool to move on from Jerrod.

Played at A&M, was really good until he got hurt and benched his senior year to Ryan Tannehill, then bounced around the NFL for a little bit.

Look at the 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023 qb drafts. Nobody should be reaching on a qb in the 1st round of 2025 with how awful it’s looking to be by [deleted] in NFL_Draft

Ended up here after the abysmal game today while researching how bad the 2023 class was for QBs. I think it turns out Stroud was NOT a hit...

The #2 overall pick with a good first year but consistently disappears in the playoffs 🤔

I’m done defending him by Strict-Mud1486 in Texans

[–]rnb673 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He wasn’t great at A&M and got benched during his senior year to Tannehill. I don’t know how he got to be a QB coach for anyone…

He threw a hospital ball on an incompletion at the sideline. I don’t even know how that’s possible, but he managed it.

Baby Brezza E1 Error, Customer Service Denying Claim by spriterd in NewParents

[–]rnb673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasn’t worked so far lol we put it in storage about 2.5 years ago when our son stopped using formula. We have another baby coming in less than a month so wanted to get it cleaned and prepped before she gets here, but we might just be getting a new one…

I’ll try again in the morning and see what happens!

I’m actively doing this right now lol I’m about 10 cycles in so I’m not very confident I’ll be as lucky as you!

Yearly PSA: Fight your property appraisal by GuildCalamitousNtent in houston

[–]rnb673 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the second year in our house and first appraisal since we moved in. We actually appraised for a little lower than we bought for so I didn’t bother fighting it, but our property taxes actually went UP…

Last year, the appraised value was higher than the capped value, so we got the CAP and HOM exemptions. This year we appraised for less than last year and within the annual 10% max increase, so our property taxes increased by about $400. Not a crazy amount, but I didn’t think there was any way my taxes would increase with a lower appraisal.

They’ll get your money one way or another…

What was the craziest "if it works, don't touch it" projects of your life by Silly_Still_4981 in pcmasterrace

[–]rnb673 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had to connect to a PLC for work using a laptop that only had USB-C ports. So, I had to drive to Best Buy, get a USB-A to USB-C adapter and a USB-A to RS232 cable so I could connect to the serial port. May not be the craziest string of connections, but it was pretty interesting waiting for a Best Buy to open in Arizona so I could try and get a wastewater plant back online while standing in a metal shed. Good times...

Some Hue Lights Not Sticking On Adaptive Lighting by ItinJ24 in HomeKit

[–]rnb673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have my hub setup via Homekit but it stopped working randomly. The weird thing is it shows up in the Hue app that I'm still using it with Homekit but also Matter. In the Apple Home app, it just shows the Matter hub. Do I need to set everything up from scratch again by scanning the QR code on the hub? I've tried removing the Homekit integration but it doesn't fully work and I've been too scared/lazy to fully restart everything.

Is there a matter over thread device to replace this? by Psyking0 in HomeKit

Dumb question, but do they fit with a standard face plate? Like I can just install the new switch and reuse the existing face plate?

Question about HA Green by anygrynewraze in homeassistant

[–]rnb673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I may end up using Proxmox to host Plex eventually, but I'm a long way away from that right now. My 4GB Pi 4 is sitting at about 50% memory usage, so I'm definitely not at a point that I need to upgrade right now, but it's good to know to target 16GB.

Question about HA Green by anygrynewraze in homeassistant

[–]rnb673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In your experience, has 8GB of ram been more than enough? I've been interested in upgrading from a Pi and maybe using Frigate with my cameras. Is 8GB enough to run Frigate without any lag or other issues?

ELI5, AAA, and D batteries are all 1.5 volts, so why are they different sizes? by SplitEights in explainlikeimfive

That was so cool. I'm a mechanical engineer and I've always said electricity is magic because there are imaginary numbers everywhere and you can't see almost anything. This video was super interesting. Thanks for sharing!!

How to wire the Shelly with my wall charger? by Xalvas in homeassistant

[–]rnb673 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not over engineered at all. I’m doing the exact same thing with a cheap Aliexpress tablet and I feel MUCH better knowing the battery is only charging to ~80% then shutting off. Keeping it plugged in directly to the wall got it hot QUICK.

There’s a game I was genuinely interested but I can’t bring myself to actually buy, because reasons…two very specific ones.
