I never had any luck with zigbee USB dongles. All my devices would just continually fall over and it was a massive pain getting them back talking. Someone ended up recommending me the Zigstar UZG-1 which is a network Poe device, and I have never had a problem since. It has been up and problem free now for about half a year.

As it isn’t plugged into your device, you should also eliminate the issue trying to get it to work in docker

The pessimist in me feels Microsoft need people to buy the new devices with the shiny new co-pilot button more than ever… gotta recoup the hundreds of billions sunk into OpenAI

My work has already blocked it, but has no problems using AI hosted by a country whose leader is a convicted criminal with close ties to Russia and North Korea

It is funny how fascinated we have become with politics while it is this stupid theatre. I would prefer have the Government do a good job so I don’t need to think about them at all

trying to come up with new places to shove AI

I always thought this is why the Facebooks and Googles of the world are hoovering up the data now

I have been using Jdownloader2 for years… I don’t know what the differences are, but might be an option for people who want something GUI based

Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary…

I thought I read that Intel said this was from messing with voltages? I have had plenty of these processors in the last couple of years and never experienced crashes, but I don’t overclock

No one believes this stuff anymore, right? Google combines 3 teams to focus on making the Play Store more profitable… something something developers

They have always followed the iPhone event haven’t they? Maybe this year they think they have enough advantage to lead

I eventually got the GPU passed through to the VM… it took about a day of following different guides. Then I tried the same thing on a container and it was about 3 mins work and it was in infinitely better experience with plex in a container instead of a vm

Many moons ago I worked in IT and telecoms providers would happily hand over plain text transcripts of SMS conversations. Blue bubbles for me

Sure, but it would be illogical to think that a company with seemingly unlimited resources would get fined, and then introduce new that didn’t exactly comply with what was required… I mean, I would think they are working with the EU to ensure it is within a millimeter of what they are allowed. It seems you just don’t like it.

You think a multi trillion dollar company is just winging it from a legal standpoint? Or do you think they have worked with the EU to develop the policy within a hair of what they are actually required to do?

I can’t remember if the word at the time was that they were trying to stop the calls from affecting performance or they wanted the juicy data all for themselves

Seems pretty clear why the apis were shut down for apps

Lemme guess… they are worried companies are using it to train ai, so better close it off so they control access to it

You should apply for a job as head of their legal department…

I haven’t tried the quest, but I will be interested to see the comparisons of picture quality and features. It seems expensive, but I can see there being a big market for something like this in a few years for people who might live alone and enjoy the minimalism of now having a massive TV. There would seem to be a tonne of people in the world who wouldn’t bat an eye at dropping $3,500 on a gadget.
