- Comment on Freeing a Xiaomi Humidifier from the Cloud 2 weeks ago:
Well, my vacuum robot is integrated into home assistant, but I use valetudo so it’s only connected to local WiFi. Air quality graphs I also have but also connected via zinger so I don’t broadcast my data and don’t have any holes in my system that I’m not responyfor and can’t patch.

I mean that’s a really cool hack, but why in the world would a humidifier need a cloud connection?!?

Hakuna matata :) no need to get riled up. Use what you want, I use Linux and macOS at home and windows at work.
- Comment on Fuck Microsoft 4 weeks ago:
Fair point! In the end, everyone needs to use what works best for them. I do concede that I’m not really familiar with accessibility issues and I perceive the accessibility options to be lacking in the distros I know. Maybe it will change in the future and I hope it does :) thank you for your contribution!

Oh, I get that, it was more of a retro rival question because I read all those headlines about the shit Microsoft constantly tries to pull. I get comfortable and I’m sure there are some problems and growing pains but if you’re ready to get out of the comfort zone I think it is worth it.
I had the opposite issue where canon decided to stop supporting a scanner with incompatible drivers for windows 10. Linux and macOS were able to use it OOTB without me having to tinker with it. Swings and roundabouts I guess.
I’m not a lemming and am not shoving anything down anyone’s throat, but I guess people are apparently really triggered when someone merely brings it up.

Oh I also use windows on my work machine and not anywhere else. The enterprise version is not full of crap and doesn’t force AI down your throat.
- Comment on Fuck Microsoft 4 weeks ago:
I mean at this point why stick with Microsoft? I get needing a particular software only able to run in windows but other than that there’s really no need.

Or - and this is a wild theory - just cripple the ones using a-series chips and keep the m-series the same but charge more.

Thanks, i got used to Not having One since having surgery for phimosis when I was little. Good to know there’s an option for people who want to have it restored. Options are always good:)

- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 1 month ago:
My driving school had 2002 Corollas. Had a lot of problems to get the „feel“ for the clutch and after I mastered that the most challenging thing for me was starting on a hill using the handbrake. Auto-Hold these days is truly a blessing :)

- Comment on Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge 1 month ago:
Tried using GIMP and Gimpshop (I don’t know if it’s still a thing) and never really got warm with it. Not for a lack of trying. I just use Affinity designer 2 and Photo 2 along with Inkscape (from which GIMP could learn a thing or two in terms of usability IMO).
- Comment on Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge 1 month ago:
I have affinity designer 2 and photo 2. It does everything I need (except for bitmap tracing, for which I use Inkscape). I won’t be bothering with anything else in this respect as I’m used to working with the tools I have . Also I don’t need the AI stuff so it’s a hard pass. Bummer on the acquisition though…

- Comment on Touch sensor part ID? 2 months ago:
It looks to me like the through-hole Plating is gone. Could be worth soldering a wire from the top pad, through the hole directly to the “grid” on the back side. Need to scratch a bit of solder mask off the grid fill first.
