I don’t use Haier products but a similar thing happened with Chamberlain when they blocked the MyQ integration even though it was using the legitimate API and not breaking any rules. No attempt to work with anyone in the HA community at all, just shut everything down.

IMO, it’s also worth the yearly cost for voice integration with Google Nest/Home or similar devices.
- Comment on Why the Internet and society itself is so divided nowadays ? 11 months ago:
There’s also a third audience most people don’t consider: everyone reading the thread that isn’t engaging directly.
You might not convince the direct ‘opponent’ in an internet debate, but can still make an impact on others that might be more open to listening to a new perspective.

I have a DS418play which is several generations behind and it runs a dozen Docker containers, including all of my media automation, just fine. I even host a Minecraft server for my nephews!

And fully supported by Synology, too! They are pretty good at embracing the community while still keeping security as a priority.
- Comment on A touching quote from Nimoy's "I am Spock" book (1995) 1 year ago:
Most sitcom actors run into that. I’m sure Jim Parsons won’t ever be seen as anyone else, or for an older example all of the cast of Seinfeld (arguably besides Julia).

How would such a thing be financially viable? Once the ability to connect to any website exists, the physical cost to access everything else is essential nothing.

That video is included in the article, it’s just at the very bottom for some reason.
- Comment on My Home Server software stack 1 year ago:
I should just start over and try again, probably did something silly that screwed things up.
- Comment on My Home Server software stack 1 year ago:
Do you have personal experience with Nextcloud or Owncloud? I have tried the former and it’s been a general nightmare. I’m using Docker and have a dozen or more other containers that all work just fine, but even once I got Nextcloud installed and working it had all kinds of permission problems or just wouldn’t install things from its own built-in app store. Never did get any kind of document collaboration working.
- Comment on My Home Server software stack 1 year ago:
The top of Immich’s home page says “Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!” Is that hyperbole or a realistic warning?
- Comment on My Home Server software stack 1 year ago:
Nice start and solid choices so far!
Definitely recommend looking into Docker, it’ll make cross-platform conflicts and migrations near effortless. Repurposing unused hardware is great, but can also be inefficient or bulky, so a hardware upgrade might be in your future eventually. ;)
If you are interested in automating any media retrieval and/or organization, which I gather you might given you have Plex, look into the *arr ecosystem: Sonarr for TV, Radarr for movies, plus others for books and music and pretty much anything else you can imagine!

You should, sounds like you definitely contributed more to the benefit of human society than I ever have!
- Comment on World EV Sales Now Equal 18% Of World Auto Sales 1 year ago:
Engines have to be replaced after a decade or more, that’s a huge expense that usually isn’t worth the value of the vehicle. How is this any different?
- Comment on Does anyform of multi-fediverse account type of thing exist? 1 year ago:
I think a true unification defeats the purpose of federation. That said, I have been using Lemmy Handshake to sync my subscriptions between accounts. I generally use one account to login, but sometimes an instance has technical issues or content seems to be missing so I like having a backup option in a pinch.

How is Apple going to monetize DuckDuckGo to make up for that $9 billion, without compromising their other efforts w/r/t user and data privacy?

Glenn Shotwell runs SpaceX and is a competent adult. Nothing to worry about on that front, thankfully.
- Comment on 'Personality-driven' influencer esports league revealed, immediately implodes over NFT controversy 1 year ago:
Flying cars are the stupidest idea, especially since helicopters have existed the entire time and everyone just refused to accept that fact.
- Comment on 'Personality-driven' influencer esports league revealed, immediately implodes over NFT controversy 1 year ago:
They know enough to not want to be associated with it.
- Comment on 'Personality-driven' influencer esports league revealed, immediately implodes over NFT controversy 1 year ago:
From the quotes in the article, they didn’t just “not disclose” so much as “lied”. Regardless of subject matter, when someone cares enough to make sure something they don’t want to be associated with isn’t involved and then they find out it actually is, they have a right to be upset.
- Comment on The flying car completes first ever inter-city flight (Official Video) 1 year ago:
I will just never understand how so many people look at the terrible state of ground-based traffic and think that doing that but in the sky will somehow be better.
If you need a more direct example, just think about this the next time you see a broken down car o the side of the highway on an otherwise pleasant day, then think “what if whatever happened to that vehicle was the same, but 5,000 feet in the air?”
- Comment on The flying car completes first ever inter-city flight (Official Video) 1 year ago:
So do cars and trains! They easily take people to the airport, where you can conveniently park your helicopter between uses.
- Comment on The flying car completes first ever inter-city flight (Official Video) 1 year ago:
How is either a better or more affordable option than a cheap helicopter? Air taxis using helicopter have existed for decades and fly around urban areas every single day.
Will people still need a pilot’s license and all of the associated time + training that requires? Because they will surely also need to have a driver’s license and insurance and everything else required of owning a car!
I do not understand the appeal at all unless it’s just a refusal to give up on a very specific childhood nostalgia.

Billet Labs sent them a 3090ti to test with and LMG lost it before they filmed the review. They comment on the GPU being wrong in the video. .
BL also commented on the video explaining why it would perform poorly with the 4090.
They always knew it was being tested wrong
