  • It’s shit for automating things and especially useless outside the Apple ecosystem, but it does offer the option to turn off sharing.

    Apple ID -> Find My -> Share My Location

    Since it’s closed source it’s possible they still capture the location and I would t trust it, but in practice anyone that you’ve allowed to see your location (for an hour, day, while on-route) gets a “location unknown” on their app of the toggle is off.




  • Great points, as someone who is very happy with their current home automation and services, checking in the config files to a git repo was the critical step. Also backup volumes since many containers tend to store state in some binary or internal DB. At the very least try restoring the config to verify you have what’s needed. The containers should start even if they have no media on it.

    In terms of tinkering not being fun anymore. That’s okay, sometimes you need a break.

    A point that is sometimes not brought up enough in my opinion is to plan for loses. What can you afford to lose if you can’t backup everything (due to price, etc.)? config files and photos or personal data are relatively small (compared to something like a media library) and should be prioritized.








  • Been alive for a few decades. Every time I think maybe I would enjoy a newsletter from this content creator/website I like, it could be good? I always end up unsubscribing. Not sure who they are made for and whether the metrics they see support using that tactic.

    I see people on YouTube that clearly don’t know how to use notifications (or have too many) asking why they missed a new video when it released and I think to myself, why would I watch it on the authors convenience instead of mine? That would be going back to TV. Maybe I’m just too old and too young at the same time.



  • That’s correct, there are some respected engineering channels that specifically mention this is why different models of the same EV require different charging behavior per the manufacturer’s manual. The battery compositions are different and have different densities and characteristics.

    Edit: although it’s possible some models could share the exact same battery model and have some software restriction in place.





  • Alternatively, maybe ask if on the go gaming is their thing. I have played more games since I got my rg35xx sp than any steam sale before (there are many others of similar features at similar price points, more expensive ones to get PS2 and GameCube capable emulation). Waiting for someone? Game. Appointment call taking long? Game. Work lunch time and have some minutes to spare? Game.

    Game changer. In my case I sacrificed capabilities (ps1 and n64 only for easy to emulate tittles), but I can even play GT2 on the go, what I hoped GT for PSP should have been. Depending on when they grew up, it might be a worthy sacrifice for portability.
