Recently did this and yes it's a pain. I don't know if it's going to help until next time we change phones, but what I did this time was name the device after the person, rather than the phone model.

The idea being that I can delete the old device in the future and replace it with the new device, named the same. That way I don't have to change the device name in each automation every time. Hopefully that made sense. But I still haven't tested it in reality.

If you want something short and easy, try Elder Race. It's a novella, but very well done. The good thing about him is that he's so prolific, there's a lot to choose from.

All you're gonna find here is blind defence of Sync. I used it for Reddit and it was amazing, but honestly, the Lemmy app isn't worth it. Voyager is great if you're looking for an alternative. It's free and it's maintained with updates almost every week.

The point is that method doesn't work for the feediverse where things are constantly updating. It's ok to expect that an app is maintained, especially when asking that high a price. I don't get all the blind defence people have for Sync. It's a highly priced app for a platform that's entirely free and there hasn't been an update or peep for months. It's ok to question it. People would be for any other app.

Exactly, it was a crappy stop gap solution.

Honestly, you should cut your losses and just move onto another app. You can always see if an update comes in the future, but for now there are plenty of good free options that are being maintained.

I really hope they don't introduce a challenge system. It might suit some of the American sports, but would be another step in the wrong direction for VAR in football (soccer). It already takes long enough to make a decision at times. Imagine after all that, the decision is challenged.

So a game could release an "update" with less content and charge for it, and that would be ok to call a DLC, because they charged for it?

Yet they still get around it through sound mixing. Any regulations against using jingles or having ads interrupt what you're watching?

I hardly watch it either. Just found it funny all the complaints above could be applied to what free to air tv has been doing for decades.

[–] yesterdayshero@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Sounds like you haven't watched a lot of free to air tv haha

Yeah I still use their temp sensors and they seem to work fine. The door/window sensors seem to work ok too, but for the most part I've just swapped over to Aqara for anything new I've bought.

 

Does anyone know whether apexcharts cards is going to be supported moving forward. Doesn't appear to have been any updates in some time.

Trying to work out whether it's best to just stick to mini graph cards instead.

 

I recently got solar installed at my place and was wondering if anyone had tips on things like:

  • Using the Energy dashboard effectively
  • Template Sensors I should set up for energy tracking
  • Graphs or visualising production/usage in dashboards
  • Automations that you've used to help save using energy from the grid
 

I'm not sure Microsoft did this generation of consoles any favours by launching the Series S.

Wow. What an experience.

It wasn't all smooth sailing. I even took a month break thinking I might not come back to it, but boy I'm glad I did.

I'm new to souls like, only having played Elden Ring before this (which was amazing). Sekiro was a game that I picked up afterwards, and struggled with early on. It felt like a departure to everything I'd learned in gaming to this point. You don't want to dodge, you want to deflect. Holding block helps you recover. Parrying will beat a boss quicker than trying to drive down their health. Once these things start to click, defeating bosses feels like a true accomplishment.

Fighting the end game bosses had my heart rate going like no other boss battles I can remember. Elden Ring had some memorable and awe inspiring bosses, but the feeling in Sekiro when you're about to break the posture of a boss for a final deathblow was indescribable.

If there's anyone left who hasn't given Sekiro a go, do yourself a favour. It takes some time for it to click, but when it does, it's something special.

Can someone point out what the major differences are (or does this exist somewhere already)?

I've been on Android for years now and don't really understand what made Voyager too iOS. The only real differences I see are fonts and they currently look better/cleaner on the iOS version.

Are there functional differences between the two? Or is it really just font and spacing?

 

I just bought a mini PC to use as a Plex Server and realised that maybe it's a good way to host my Home Assistant instance as well. Currently HA is on a raspberry pi 4.

What's the best approach to get both running on a mini PC? And is it even the best approach or should I just leave HA the way it is now?

Mini PC I got is the Beelink EQ12

 

Interested in seeing the Aqara devices using Matter. It's a shame the button is only functional if you use their new hub, but wonder if you'll be able to use it through Home Assistant.
