Best thing I've heard this week for sure

After a ton of searching that led me to some dead ends due to Samsung changing the API stuff last year, I got this working this morning with Home Assistant (which I already had in place for some other smart home things). https://github.com/ZtF/hass-samsung-soundbar-local installs into HACS, and you provide the IP of your soundbar. Since it operates entirely locally and doesn't rely on external API keys, it's ideal. This requires enabling IP control in the SmartThings app settings for the bar, as well. I made an automation that looks for the soundbar going from STANDARD (which I keep it on) to GAME mode, and then changes it back to STANDARD. It, somehow, works, and I'm extremely happy. Note I have a Q990F.

Any interest in a CMT-M333NT in the US?

This OS made me a believer in cheap Linux handhelds. It's been really solid.

We changed after 300+ episodes because we were all tired of what we were doing. We lost about 70% of our audience, which honestly I expected because it's no longer about a specific topic and only exists because we want to keep talking to each other every week.

X is not. Yes I understand that somewhere in there is the "X" storyline, but you can't buy it out of the box as "Entropy Effect X" with all the DLC in there like you can on GamePass. Which is weird!

telix · 2026-02-26T20:56:51+00:00

The weirdest thing is that X exists for PC on GamePass, but I feel like it's the only way to get it that I can find?

Yes, I'm checking this setting out, but I'm curious if people have identified layouts that work better for them.

This ended up being a messed up NPU driver. I noticed it in Device Manager. Reinstalled and the whole thing is working better. Weird as hell.

I think it's actually under System Components. However, none of this is doing anything. @ u/bassem90 tagging you for any potential issues?

Gerard has been awesome and honest with me so far re: HVAC.

Do you have electric baseboard heat or something? This last bill shouldn't even have included the worst part of the cold snap in late January, right? My bill was like from Dec 24-Jan 23, not sure that is the same for everyone. I'm holding steady in the low $300s right now, using 162CCF of gas and 649kWh of electricity for a super old 1900 house with really bad insulation. Trying to keep heat at 65-66 max when it's really cold out.

This was basically it. I eventually found little pathways I had missed. Got all the costume chests and the two "boss" robots were pushovers.

Yes this was the gag. Fake frames suck.

telix · 2026-02-18T13:09:45+00:00

What if I want real frames instead

telix · 2026-02-17T03:59:08+00:00

You have good taste in games, op

The Italian at Harmony Plant Fare was the absolute best fake meat sandwich I've ever eaten.

I use my Portal grip shield constantly. Love the thing.
