I bought the ZBT-1 a few months ago. My only complaint is that they made it as a usb stick then said keep it away from the usb port. It did come with an extension cable, so I’ve always had it connected that way. Otherwise, no complaints here. It seems to reach what it needs to. I’m using it for matter over thread devices. The closest thread IoT device is only about six feet away, so it didn’t need to be super strong to connect and control my thread network of devices.

As for the upgraded device: Moving away from the usb stick makes sense. With that said, I’m not much of a fan for this new design. I don’t have any intentions of getting the zbt-2 anytime soon.

I was looking for a gift list app and recently found this. It also has a secret Santa feature.

I have been able to use Signal like any other day. I haven’t seen any disruption in sending or receiving.

Or do the dogs/cats train the humans with those buttons? ;)

As someone who has used Windows, OSX, and Linux as a daily driver at different points, Windows was by far the most challenging to work with. Every week there was some problem.

In recent years, my company provided Dell with 32GB of memory running Windows would blue screen practically weekly. Most of the time it struggled to run more than one instance of an IDE. Windows finally crashed to the point that the only option was restore the OS.

I requested a different machine and have been running macOS with less memory. Have actually been able to run more IDE instances than the Windows machine would run. No crashes.

Completely Unix based OSes now. Linux servers. Linux desktops. Mac laptops.

I did the same, as soon as 1Password started migrating to centralized subscription model.

I’ll continue to carry my iPhone mini since there isn’t a comparable option

and Wireguard pointed at AdGuard for DNS

Set the mobile app to enable WireGuard connection when not on home network and then you have AdGuard everywhere

The article stated that they are watching the homes and going in when no one is home in order to avoid any confrontation.

OR anyone suggesting those lives in a city and doesn’t generally let their pets out near forests and therefore didn’t think of that use case.

I have the same and came to suggest Ubiquiti. I have continuous footage of the last 90 days or so.

Perhaps SnapChat files a counter suit on the parents for buying their kid a smartphone, paying for service, and not putting parental controls on the device to keep them from using apps that they don’t want their kid accessing

They have a desktop browser

Built a NAS over 5 years ago. It runs UnRaid and configured with dual parity (tolerates two drive failures). If a drive were to go bad: shutdown the NAS, slide the drive out, slide the new drive in, power back up and the rest could be done remotely (via your WireGuard tunnel).

Unraid is capable of hosting your VMs and/or docker containers as well. I have Syncthing running in a container with a remote machine (also running Syncthing) and they sync backups.

One of the main perks of UnRaid is that you can mix and match drive sizes. You just have to make sure that your largest capacity drive(s) are your parity drive(s).

Same here. I’m on my 12 mini right now!

If the creator of WhatsApp was willing to walk away from billions of dollars because he didn’t agree under principle with where it was going under Meta, I’m willing to not use the app.

Just the tip(s)?
