Been thinking of dusting off my D700, I’ve heard of DT as an alternative but just now looking at its features… jfc… I am going to have some fun.

Between Windows 11 and Chrome. I had 8gb RAM on my wife’s PC and with my wife jist running those two had 3gb left. Chrome was using 3Gb alone and there were 4 tabs open. My brain hurt trying to figure that out. I went through disabling all manner of startup processes and services. Helped a little, but not with Chrome. I finally just upgraded to 16gb. She doesn’t like full reinstalls (use the damn share folder on the server and don’t worry about lost files. Yes, it is mapped, it has your name and is only 1 of the three drives listed. At least backup the important ones so I won’t have to pray Recuva works)


Thanks. This one is better. I had to clear all data to make it work, but so far no errors.


I like it. I really want to love it. I’d like an option to show all icons on press. The dealbreaker is the issue with no response. S20fe, disabled power optimization for the app, and it still wakes or loads from open apps to home as a frozen screen. With no indicator on the screen, I just tap, wait, tap, wait, click wait for app on popup, then it works, only to tell me it’s not responding despite finally working. Once this bug is gone I might use it over Nova.


I went for cheap, and syored away. The battery sits at the bottom of the stilt legged coup with a screwed on door to keep water and chickens out. Panel just sits on the roof. I set this all up about 2mo before wyzecam with batteries were announced. Been running ever since. This time of year this area is always cloud covered, and limited daylight. The panel is an older one, not quite as efficient as the one that runs my daytime radiator fans in the hoopouse (no battery, just a 10in and 8in radiator fan that sound like jet engines on full sunny days. I tried the camp ceiling fans but they kept burning out). Fans are mostly to help prevent mold in that one, and keep heat even during summer.


I have this one connected: https://a.co/d/0dkouiZ


Gonna add 100w solar panel works great (just not this time of year, mine picks back up around February), and get a gel battery 100ah or more. Lead doesn’t cycle as much and doesn’t like cold. A cheap charge controller with usb is all you need to power most cameras (I run two wyzecams with the panel on the top of my chicken coop to watch my driveway) Just know this time of year lacks sunlight, I might get 2 to 5 hours this time of year, with 24h later in the year.


Tasker can do pretty much anything, so most things are based around need and novelty. I have a gps profile with a view/store/retrieve car location for parking lots, a profile to send my location via text, pretyped text messages to my wife, light control for my phone, photo control for my phone, find my phone by audio file and volume, music playlists, a stupid script that takes my feelings over the day on a 1 to 10 scale and based on the avg at the end of the day plays a particular song to meet that mood, a password generator that stores and kinda encrypts via a Caesarian style translation to a txt file, and then decrypts and retrieves the password (I still manualy edit the text to put in titles for the passwords) Most of my tasker scripts are already automated so there isn’t as much need for manual control.


They released all the info, including pcb cads, sensor info, etc.


I waited until I got my duo whilst my Steel was on a 2 day battery cycle. As soon as I got the watch it dropped to 16 hours. I finally replaced the battery, to find that I really needed a new zebra strip, too. 12 days later I got a new strip and my Steel is running for 7 days again. I use Mpebble for now, as to my knowledge Cobble doesn’t support many 3rd party apps like Tasker yet (I haven’t tried in a couple of weeks)


There are case stls available for the Pebble 2, not sure about the rest (P2s were the most… fragile).




Look up while true: learn() on Steam. I had fun with it. It gives basic ideas of coding in a fun way.
This is why I can’t stand IPTV services. Piracy at home? No big deal. Lots of community, mostly free, lots of good vibes. IPTV just steals for the cash grab, and likely will rob you blind on their way out.
Look for makerspaces near you or even just look for printing services like craftcloud or shapeways.
I went with the duo, haven’t gotten mine yet. Considering I’ve never given up on my Pebble 2 and Steel (with 1 day battery life) it’s an easy switch for me. I tried the new Pebble app, it sucks. I’m hoping the Rebble version will work with the Duo. I use waaaay too many third party software options to go without.
Can someone ELI5 me why DNS is such a fucking cancer with VPNs? My work machine uses VPNs and my home network, my server, etc, no probs whatsoever. I can ping outside all damn day. But to get DNS to work on my work pc sometimes I have to restart my home network to get DNS to work on the machine. I can’t wrap my head around that.


Just years ago with Xubuntu. It may just be my use case. Seems to happen with WINE related stuff mostly, and I usually after days running. Once a week restart isn’t too painful.


It’s weird that I can play Portal 2 via Proton but Portal 2 mods crash. Also, Doom Eternal works but not via Steamlink.
I don’t get the point. You still need an exhaust fan for the case. Maybe in an open air setup I guess?
