+1 on this! It's scales amazingly well too!
Re:Ask HN: Should I try to manufacture toasters? on Monday January 15, 2024 @11:19PM (#39009455)
I have a dualit toaster and absolutely love it! You can get spare parts for it and repair it yourself. To me it's worth the 3x premium of its the only one I ever have to buy in my life. Yes, the timer is a bit loud and you have to think about how done you want the toast ever time, but it becomes automatic, i.e. I just know what the right setting is for a bagel.

To be clear, it's a man made diamond. I tried all thr convincing, but turns out that when someone has wanted something since they were a little girl, it's hard to change their mind

Not AFAIK- they email you when a new device logs in, or a new location, but I've never seen one from a wrong 2FA code

This was posted above: https://www.isnic.is/en/site/login First time I've seen it too

Interesting- I think that is the first time I've seen password and 2FA code on the same page. Guess that means you may not know if your password or 2FA code is incorrect depending on the error page

I switched from Chrome to FF about 6 years ago and still don't understand why more people don't do the same. At the moment my favourite feature is containers- especially the default facebook ones. Kudos to the team at Mozilla- it just keeps getting better and better!

So a while ago I wrote about how 2FA was missing a key feature: https://syslog.ravelin.com/2fa-is-missing-a-key-feature-c781...Having not had any feedback on it in a while and the idea not taking off, today somebody messaged me to say that had implemented it in their product.1. Obviously I think this is great and more secure2. Tell people about things you do that they played a part it- it might...

Wow, that is brilliant- will give it a try- thank you. Did you close the business once the address had been added?

I'm already a level 6 local guide and my edits weren't accepted :(

It is not a gated community and the address exists in the public databases

from the ask-hn dept.

First off, this is after trying to edit it in google maps, then when that didn't work, reaching out on maps communities who also couldn't help.The crux of the issue is that I don't have a street number, but I do have a house name and number. My address is something like: 2 My House Name My Street Name Postal CodeThat is what it says on the Royal Mail's address checker, the title deed and every...

I find the yaml works fine for the basics, but the real power comes with being able to include your own c code and use that along with whatever is in the yaml. Basically means you can have normal arduino code that is the tied into hass very easily.
Re:Ask HN: What is your system for backing up family photos and video? on Tuesday January 18, 2022 @08:23AM (#29978640)
I have about a years worth synced across my devices via syncthing and everything older than I move to an external drive(s) and AWS glacier. I have a little script that does it and only have to do it once or twice a year.
Re:Computers as I used to love them on Friday January 07, 2022 @07:04AM (#29838114)
Yes, it does. I do this for multiple folder- i.e. the pictures folder on my phone is called whatever android has decided to call it this year and it syncs with my pictures folder on my desktop.
