- Comment on Samsung's Galaxy S26 will get Apple AirDrop support starting today 3 weeks ago:
I can’t email 20 pictures that are 5MBs each. Gmail caps at 20MB and other providers have random other caps. No one in my life with an iPhone knows what to do with a USB stick. Nor do I want to use a computer as an intermediary to get something I wanted on my phone.
I’m not saying there weren’t always ways to transfer files. There always have been and I’ve used many of those ways. But god Airdrop is simpler and more reliable than most of them for small every-day things from phone to phone especially for tech illiterate.
I use magic-wormhole often but I’m not asking my tech illiterate grandma to use that just to get some photos from me. I’m also not going to get an iPhone myself to iCloud the photos to her or whatever Apple people do.

I have never been able to successfully send a file between two different Android devices using Quick Share. It always gets stuck loading or connecting.
- Comment on Samsung's Galaxy S26 will get Apple AirDrop support starting today 3 weeks ago:
Because Airdrop is miles more reliable and easier to use than anything Android came up with (yes I am aware of QuickShare, it sucks)?
Because having two walled gardens where people need the same third party app to move data between them is silly?
Because Apple needs some “see regulators! we are not a monopoly, we are cooperating with Google :D” wins.

What a funny joke. Excellent community for this.

I wish Microsoft adopted and upstreamed changes to OpenZFS instead of duplicating all this effort.

😆 Is it a specific weird feeling?

🤨🤔 will be recommending someone attempt.
Sounds realistic given how “never go away no matter what” antiperspirant sticks are designed to be.
It also clogs pores to prevent sweat if sweat is part of the thing causing the rash.
Probably also has things in it to prevent drying so much as to cause irritation.
- Comment on Thermostats compatible with selfhosted Home Assistant 5 weeks ago:
In theory, Home Assistant could also give users the option to ignore certificate checks.
I also haven’t seen specific details on whether Home Assistant’s implementation allows sensors to contact the internet by default or what setting changes this.
It’s just foggier and less user focused by design in my opinion. But as one would expect when Google and other large corporations were the ones to develop it,
- Comment on Thermostats compatible with selfhosted Home Assistant 5 weeks ago:
Well Thread allows devices to require internet connectivity to pair. It also allows devices to fetch firmware updates from the manufacturer. And it allows features to be locked to their specific app. Thread and Matter are more complex to setup self-hosted style; it makes no difference when you use official hubs though. Thread doesn’t have many device types and manufacturers available.
Zigbee does not require or work over the internet, no trust required. It is very easy to setup self-hosted. There is a Zigbee everything made by everyone from large companies to random brandless places.
Zigbee is my preference as a result of the internet connectivity requirement. I do not trust random manufacturers to not brick my devices when they go out of business or choose to release a competing product.

Yeah, I also am not confident in my ability to find asd hire a competent person to manage the cars, or the money for that matter.
The 20 million doesn’t even have to be invested until one can look into tax implications because it can just sit still in an account or under a bed; not so much for the cars.

Where the heck would I store five cars worth millions of dollars.
How the hell would I find a buyer who would reliably pay me those millions of dollars without ripping me off or stealing it before I could sell it.
I live in Canada. Those cars would disintegrate before I got them to somewhere capable of storing them.
I would much rather have $20 million now in my account. Even in cash would be manageable.
- Comment on How do I access my services from outside? 1 month ago:
Personally, I use headscale (self-hosted tail scale) that is open to the internet. Then my phone and all other devices use tailscale clients to connect to that. All my other services are accessed through the tailscale madic DNS service.
Nothing except headscale is open to the internet, and I can access anything I need an the server. It also doesn’t just route All traffic through my server, only the stuff to other tailscale nodes.

Not that I know of. I was just going to not install them.
Actually I hear Graphene installation on a Pixel is nearly unbrickable and has a nice user friendly website.
I watched a video of it and was reminded of the old Limera1n/Blackrain/etc IOS jailbreak days. There was one where you just went to a website and swiped to jailbreak then your idevice rebooted and you were jailbroken.
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 1 month ago:
Fuck you Google. I won’t do further updates on my Pixel and the moment I run into an issue I’ll move operating systems or phones if required. Half my apps don’t come from Google Play and I don’t want the developers to have to register with Google for anything.

Week two?
I was able to upload 57k assets via the web browser without much trouble. I just did it in bulk operations or a year or two at a time to prevent the interface framerate from dropping.
I don’t remember this taking me more than a couple days mostly not touching it.

Yeah I’ve been just refusing the prompts and using a standard 2FA code app instead.
- Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch 2 months ago:
Except that Windows routinely breaks my passkeys :) Use it to login once, works great. Try again the next day, “Something went wrong”. Now I can’t use that 2FA; it never starts working again. Then I have extra steps of trying the passkey, having it fail, logging in on another device, removing the passkey, …
- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 2 months ago:
They changed to a random person and gave all abilities to quietly upgrade everyone’s installs to the one maintained by the new random person. Then the new random person disabled things that allowed us to verify the app provided is the same one built from the Github repo. And now the new random person doesn’t communicate well.

I was worried enough about buying a used car in five years, thanks. Nov I have to worry about having the shit infotainment systems that were disappearing on top of having to pay a subscription to release my parking breaks??
