You can do that, except nobody would use it.

Do gravel traps work with planes..?
Did you look into Scrypted? It is OSS. With HomeKit (which is how I use it) it is also E2EE. I’m not sure if their app is E2EE though, I only use HomeKit.

It’s pretty good and has an extensive ecosystem. The dev can be a bit… feisty though.

It’s very performant and easy to setup. I don’t use the NVR features as I already have an NVR, I essentially just use it for HomeKit integration of my cameras + doorbell.

Re:Apple Intelligence notification summaries are pretty bad on Monday November 18, 2024 @04:12PM (#42177098)
Sometimes they work great and sometimes.. not so great. They definitely need some work.

I haven’t found them particularly useful but I also don’t get bombarded with notifications.

Is it a case of not dreaming, or rather not remembering the dreams?

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around..

Re:M4 MacBook Pro on Wednesday October 30, 2024 @06:46PM (#42001367)
As much as anyone can say otherwise, running Linux isn’t just a breeze. You will run into issues at some point, you will possibly have to make certain sacrifices regarding software or other choices. Yes it has gotten so much better over the past few years but I want my time spent on my work, not toying with the OS.

Another big selling point of Apple is the hardware. Their hardware and software are integrated so seamlessly. Things just work, and they work well. 99% of the time - there’s always edge cases.

There’s solutions to running Linux distros on some Apple hardware but again you have to make sacrifices.

Was the Treo 650 waterproof? :)
It also works when using Spotify Connect on your iOS device. If you can use your volume buttons to control it you can also adjust it with the slider in the control centre.
It’s pretty crazy the technology that’s out there that we’ll never see / experience without working some high-level gov job.
Re:Instagram tests forcing users to watch adverts on Tuesday June 04, 2024 @12:29PM (#40576241)
I use modified IPAs of any apps that serve me ads. It’s always weird when I use / see these apps on others devices and notice the amount of ads that get chucked at them.
This is the way. I also use this method and change weekly. It’s pretty efficient, especially for larger duvets.

Re:macOS Sonoma 14.4 might break Java on your machine on Monday March 18, 2024 @04:21AM (#39741484)
I’ve been using macOS as my primary development environment for the past ~4 years and have loved every minute of it. I haven’t run into any of the issues you’ve mentioned thankfully, and docker works absolutely fine for my use cases. I can’t see myself ever switching for any reason.

I love this idea, going to add this to future projects.

Would just cause more companies to outsource anyway.
You’re on HackerNews. Doesn’t quite scream “regular user”.
I think many people would disagree that Tesla are high-quality, even “somewhat”.
Yes, it works fine. As mentioned below just pass an asynchronous function and it’ll catch it.

Re:Show HN: Watermelon – open-source copilot for code review on Wednesday November 15, 2023 @05:43PM (#38283650)
CodeRabbit spews out a lot of unnecessary text in my opinion. It did catch a bug the other day though.

Are you comparing UI/UX to.. rocket science?!
Or they pressed the report button on their screen, not too dissimilar to changing the AC. Or do you pull over before operating any of the controls in the car? :)
You can do it through voice assistant.
Right? I’ve just setup my office and for now I’m using my MBP hooked up to a couple of Studio Displays - which I adore for software development. I was planning on picking up a Mac Mini or Mac Studio so that I could still have the MBP spare.

Maybe not. It’s a bit of a pain having to unplug and replug everything in, not to mention having windows and such shuffle around each time.

Us also, prod and staging are down and dashboard is resulting in API failure requests (500).
They are talking about sponsored content that the content creator records and shows in-video.
You can run UniFi console as software on any* device to manage the doorbell, which would then allow you to use Scrypted as the NVR and expose it to Home Assistant.
The doorbell doesn’t require a UniFi NVR.

They have released a standalone POE product, separate from the WiFi offering which has the USB-C to POE cable.

The console can be self-hosted on any device.
