Yeah, yesterday. I just kept refreshing. FF + unlock + not signed in, seems to trigger it

Best printer setup experience I’ve had.

Con: I’m on Bupropion and scared i’ll develop a tolerance for it too early.

Amphetamines are illegal in my lovely country.

I'm all in on ZigBee and z-wave. The bulb is isolated, don't even know my app login.

Do you mind sharing what ZigBee lightbulbs you recommend?

[–] errorlab@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Will do. It's part of a long list.

Don't know my ADHD will hyper focus on it tho haha

Expected since TP-Link stopped updating them shortly after release.

It's on it's own VLAN from the beginning. Wanted to poke around but never got to it.

I still have it connected, want to use for practice.

 

I have this old TP-Link smart lightbulb, it’s the only thing that’s IoT and on WiFi in my house.

Looking through pfBlocker logs for fun, and noticed it’s been trying to connect to the Tor network.

Oh! Also, it’s been uploading and downloading 100+ MB of data a day.

No idea. Could be encryption or to protect telecom companies interests, WiFi calling means bundles need to change.

Most providers are government owned.

Edit: WhatsApp calling is still blocked in the GCC. Users there mostly use Snapchat as an alternative.

I remember that there was an identifier based on model number. FaceTime wasn't allowed in the Middle East for a while, there was a way to tell if the model will support it based on the last character after the / in the model number. Middle East models won't even have the app at all.

Propably they'll do the same for models sold in the EU.

There are already hardware variants of the same iPhone. I think the US gets an iPhone with all eSIM, and China has two physical SIM slots.

Because now it can be done on the cloud with AI for triple the time, also subscriptions.

I’ve never known a such thing exists, thank you so much for sharing it. Gonna test it out this weekend.

I recently got a couple of POS pc’s (Point of sale) you know the ones that are all in one with a base to sit on a counter. The thing is they’re very old non branded devices, even the label says 2GB DDR2 while it’s actually 4GB DDR3.

Anyway, first thing I did was plug in my Ventoy and boot Debian 12 live, and guess what? Everything just works! Even the touchscreen works.

What distro do you recommend? Will be using them in a small shop with Odoo (browser based ERP)

Sorry if my writing is messed up, English is my second language.

EDIT: thank all for your input really appreciate it. I think I'm going to go with the majority of recommendations and use Debian 12 with xfce maybe. At least until I'm comfortable using immutable OS's.
