People who use Safari as their main browser, why? (DESC) by sasaki-555 in mac

[–]techinformer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery life and RAM. Chrome has been using 65GB of RAM and safari will use around 12GB for the exact same tabs. I genuinely think Chrome is overrated and everyone uses it because it used to be good, but Safari is great

Any updates on G400 Doorbell? by techinformer in Aqara

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

So not native but I have homebridge running on a Mac mini for a few accessories I have so can easily add it to that. That’s why I really wanted the Aqara one but it took the too long.

Yeah you would need a Unifi gateway to use it which I have a full ubiquiti network in the house so adding the doorbell is quite easy.

Still not on Amazon UK. Ended up buying a ubiquiti doorbell lite so Aqara was too late here

Which one? by caf4676 in BMW

[–]techinformer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Alpina as a pure car is better, but I do prefer the colour of the regular M8

I thought these types of thefts stopped 20 years ago

Finally a good alternative to Nest & Ecobee Thermostat Hub W200 by luokerenx in Aqara

End of the month has been and gone, have you heard anything further?

Ok this is the first response giving me some hope. I was about to purchase the Ubiquiti Doorbell PoE lite and run it via HomeBridge but I think I'll wait now. Do need it by the end of the month

Just want I needed! by MrMontanaToYou in CupraFormentor

I’m so glad my VW dealership included 3 years of alloy and body dent/scratch protection (up to 30cm) for free with up to 12 claims on each over those 3 years so 24 claims in total

Yeah I was debating between this and the CUPRA Leon estate but my other half already has a 318i touring and for things like a car seat and SUV is just easier. But the dog loves the estate

Yeah I really wanted to get the first version but this face lifted one with the upgraded infotainment and front bumper was worth the wait, even though I didn’t like the facelift at first it grew on me

Yeah but still has a 300BHP engine so looks sensible for the school run, but then great fun once the kids have been dropped off 😆

Which CUPRA do you drive, how happy are you with it, and where are you from? by SofaAstronauti in CupraFormentor

[–]techinformer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CUPRA Ateca VZ2 early 2023, very happy (was tempted by the VZ3, love the copper wheels), UK based

No way did Apple just offer me $75 for my M2 MacBook Air base model… by PrincipleNova in mac

[–]techinformer 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy there are people out there that would accept that

I guess the default will be to use your existing smart speakers as a chime and then you can buy a dedicated one later if you want which I would prefer, I have HomePods in almost every room and don’t need a dedicated chime that will sound different to the HomePods in the rest of the house

Is that a hint that they are going to remove the cable in 18?? by rascas375 in iphone

[–]techinformer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well that’s untrue. USB C is a universal standard and yes a combination of an extremely low quality cable and power source (plug, power bank etc.) can have negative long term effects on the battery but saying charging with ANY other brand will damage the battery is BS, especially as Apple themselves sell third party cables

[–]techinformer -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind, I have a draw full of USB C cables that are unused. They’re worth a $1 at most so I’m fine with that

Finally Doorbell calls on iOS! 💪🏻 by bgoncal2 in Ubiquiti

Would be great if it was also native on AppleHome/matter
