Aha - I didn't trust the system, only saw the initial $10 bit. Sadly they ran out of 128gb stock overnight, but I got a 256gb S9 for $600,…

With the trade-in, was that a promotional minimum value perk from somewhere? Adding an S8 $10 trade-in just reduces the total by $10 for me

yep, I have it connected to our HomeAssistant via zigbee, don't own a hue bridge.

+1 for the $5 ali express zigbee ones, bought a handful and they're solid.

if you're not a fan of rgb, I went with 140mm (c14) x 3 / 120mm (c12) x1 from thermalright - quiet and adequate (pa 120 aircooled…

I've used merrells for a bit over 10 years at this point - I love knowing they'll fit, and they used to always be solid. recent ones have…

for work I'd go 4k 27s (currently run 3x of them)

I use c120 around the house (static version of these, same api) because they have reasonable zone / line based triggering I can feed into…

you can buy fire rated barriers to put non rated ones in, but that is complicated and ends up spending just as much. it's the heat not the…

But are they IC-F / IC-4? Couldn't find many cheaper that were insulated rated for australia when I was kitting out my place.

Whacking the akari (RGB) version on one of my meross energy monitors set to cold white, it pulls 5w at 100% brightness, and 1w at 1%…

Plenty examples of devices like that being compromised and used as a route into your home network for attackers. You can mitigate that a…

If you like playing with home assistant type stuff, it's the best quality you can get - if you don't, it's an expensive waste of money. Our…

what do you do with a 1080ti at this point?

Absolutely. I hit my head against the wall sharing gpu under proxmox and decided life was better if HA had dedicated hardware at about 5…

Cutrently run a beelink N100 for home assistant and just bought another to mess around with Jellyfin. Playing around with proxmox and…

Been trying to do the same thing lately, seems to be a longstanding bug - you are supposed to be able to create a custom/iot guest network…

depends on the state - some just require you to be a party to the conversation

The motherboard only has two NVME slots. I already have a 990 pro I'll continue using as a boot drive, so if the drive that comes with it…

@luketechfast Any chance you could do a a 4TB boot drive and just add the cost difference?

Not via Meross, but it's ultimately just an expensive switch (closes the circuit of two pins), plus a door sensor (reed switch). if you…

then "10% tax" which is just randomly somewhere 10-40% of the price. still cheaper than amazon/ebay, but they're totally taking the mickey

yeah, the Bluetooth is handy any time you want to factory reset (eg if you swap from ZHA to Z2MQTT in future), but they run on zigbee as…

I've got the tuya stuff tied in via home assistant- was a pain to initially set up, but rock solid once I made it send commands a couple…

my plumber recommended one of the ryobi wet vacs from bunnings - cost us ~$40. It's what he uses, beaten up and still going.

I don't know anything specific about those models, but I went with the high endurance models for mine after killing a bunch of regular ones…

Going to say complicated to obtain, given my diabetic friend regularly has to go through half a dozen pharmacies in the cbd to find it, and…

I bonk my knees on the single motor in the middle (office works desk)

Only tricky bit for me was adhering the magnetic sensor to my roller door- everything else was 5-10min, no tools.

Go out with just a phone or smart watch, no keys/wallet.
