• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I have all my music on a nas with plex so I can stream it from there. Home assistant and Music assistant allow me to play it to any room in the house. Mobile data is expensive in NZ though so I have a terabyte of sd storage in my phone and in the car head unit with music from band camp, ripped cds, ripped vinyl, dj sets from YouTube and mix cloud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It started with the Rode Go mics which for $200 you get 2 mics and a receiver with some crazy good noise rejection and gain control. 40 hr battery life and easy to work with. There’s now several copies from dji and the like that are even cheaper.

  YouTubers didn’t mind the blocky look as it let them get great quantity sound in not ideal locations, without messing with traditional lapel mics(boxy clips, cables and tape). The closer you can get to the mic the more background noise you can deal with.

  It then became a trend. Just as Rode have come out with a new version that’s 1/3rd the size

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to 3D scan a motorcycle helmet and make smaller replicas?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Some dulling spray will give you decent enough coverage for a laser scanner to pick up the shape. Helmets tend to have large featureless areas that make optical based scanners struggle and photogrammetry not feasible. A good engineering level scanner will be just fine.

  Proving you are ultra mega hyper straight, is a pretty big indicator you’re quite gay.

  I love it “oh I’m sorry you didn’t get picked, was it because you were thinking about what the gays really do in the bedroom?”

  I’ve got a pair of Eris 4.5bt studio monitors next to my PC and they would do you very well in a small space. Incredible sound quality. With both wired and Bluetooth options, you can add a sub later if you feel you need it… Eris Media Reference Monitor Pairs – PreSonus www.presonus.com/…/eris-media-reference-pairs?pag…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question about wifi-speaker for laptop, or docking station setup.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll be just fine with any modern Bluetooth speakers, anything after Bluetooth 5 has high quality audio codecs. And 10+ meter range. Look for one with multi point audio so you can connect your laptop and phone at the same time.

  The Kiwi / Aussie rivalry is great, we rip each other to shreds, but will stand up for one another if anyone else tries it.

  Hmm I live in NZ, our only native mammal is a bat, which can fly. And we’ve got Kiwi, Kākāpō, Takahē and so many penguins that can’t fly. Mammals take it I’m afraid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We have it hidden in the letterbox. The mobile app has a Bluetooth beacon setting where you can have it report either specified beacons to HA, or all of them and you can filter for the ones you want at that end.

  The automation looks for the beacon to be reported from either of 2 devices and then switches the lights on, quite basic.

  We have a separate automation that turns the scanning for beacons setting in the phone app on at dusk and off at 3am. And another that turns the garden lights off after 10 min triggered by them being switched on

  Yes we have several of the AthomTech ones that ship with Esphome. There’s a power loss setting on them “on, off, as before”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah we use it with home assistant, and Bluetooth beacons to turn on the garden lights when we get home, and turn on interior lights if neither of us are marked as home. Also turn on the electric blanket if we are out and heading towards home after 9pm. Also the person detection camera only alerts us if we aren’t home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that necessary for plastic? The name comes from the Greek for “to mould”. For me, anything that makes long chain mouldable polymers is a plastic. Milk makes Casein or Galalith plastic, PLA is commonly made of corn. There’s a ton of bamboo fabrics that are essentially nylon made from cellulose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a lot of sodium in most fizzy drinks, wonder if that rules them out for this. Or does it have to be sodium chloride specifically?
