I've only started down the rabbithole of learning about security cameras, but the forums on https://ipcamtalk.com/ are a fantastic place to…

The sensor to MP ratio is much more important than MP alone when it comes to security cameras. Don't be fooled into thinking an 8MP is…

Literal garbage. Not a deal.

Propaganda is not a bargain

Innaloo say they have 4 in stock, but staff can't find them.

It's available on the high seas

Which card is the second best, and why?

I've recently tried the Deebot X1 Turbo (very similar to the Omni), and the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra. I found the Deebot's mapping to be very…

1:6 dilution, as per this chart. Someone reviewed the active ingreedients of a whole lot of different options to determine which ones were…

I've owned one for a few months. I'm using this stuff in it and the water tank smells fine. I've owned several robovacs/mops over the…

I have this running constantly on my machine. It has alerted me to smart errors on several drives, giving me sufficient warning to replace…

Reports on the home assistant forums indicate it works. I haven't tried it myself.

Any reason to get the Meross over this one, for use via Home Assistant? https://www.athom.tech/blank-1/garage-door-opener-for-esphome

No, sorry. The chip is a TYWE2S, but you won't be able to flash it without removing it - My theory is there's a secondary chip attached…

I imagine that would work, but I don't have the soldering skills to remove/reattach it. If you've got any good suggestions as to how I…

Tasmota allows for local control (aka home assistant). If you don't know what this means, it's not something you should try.

I tried it. Opening it is a nightmare, and I couldn't get the flash to work.

Requires soldering. It's difficult, I couldn't make it work.

It's very difficult to pull apart, and once I got inside I was unable to flash over serial (despite the chip being apparently flashable).

I've set up an automated $1000 monthly deposit into my ING account. Three days later, it transfers $995 back to my main (non ING) account,…

As long as you have an M.2 slot available, it should be compatible. The newer generations of drives are faster if the slot is capable of…

Personally my partner and I found the Koala too firm even with their free topper, and ended up making a return. However in the 2 months we…

I can vouch for this. Personally my partner and I found the mattress too firm even with their free topper, and ended up making a return.…

For anyone interested in flashing these with tasmota/esphome for use in home assistant, it appears to be possible for both units.…

Cool, in that case I'd look into Ticket to Ride, Wingspan, and maybe Terraforming Mars if you want something a little more involved.

If you want useful answers on this, you'll need to be a bit more specific in what you're interested in. Do you want something you can play…

You know trans women aren't "men in dresses", right? They look, act, and present as women (though of course the transition to a point where…

Well said. The post should be removed.

The majority of those who transition back do so due to societal pressure and bullying, not because they've changed their minds about how…
