Presence Detection for a Child with no Phone.
  • But to automate the front door unlocking, it needs to be detectable from HA. Which I believe is possible, but requires a macOS machine to extract the necessary rolling code key information.

  • It's a mess in here
  • Thing is, our brains could work the exact same way…. Only they’re constantly being trained, and have enough neurons that many clusters can be dedicated to very specific contexts.

    Today is _____

    Well, given the context that my phone says 1:20, and it’s dark, when I fell asleep it was Tuesday, and that Wednesday comes after Tuesday…. Plus all the necessary training that allowed me to understand all that context 24/hours in a day; days start at 12:00, 1 comes after 12 but only in our time of day system.

  • Apple iPad Pro (2024) review: the best kind of overkill
  • I did really like it for notes in school… but yeah, now it’s just sitting there. Not cuz it’s old or has performance issues, I’ve just got no use for it. I either use my phone or my laptop.

  • Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
  • If the fear for a typical woman is this bad, then we need to be better about teaching boys. I’m a pretty empathetic person, just ask my new very rapidly made female best friend. But despite the wife, and a few pretty damn close female friends, close mom, sister…. The fears expressed in my short reading on the current discussion have never been as clearly communicated, well the fear was definitely clear, but not the magnitude.

    I agree with the sentiment that it’s just a bad premise. It puts everyone straight into a defensive posture, and no one learns anything when they’re trying to defend their sense of self.

    On the other hand, if people are going to DMs to harass beyond the context of the heated conversation… well they ARE DEFINITELY the kind of people who are a threat, and need to be dealt with.

  • Washington State Ban on the Unhoused
  • Apparently Japan also has a homeless problem, I don’t recall how bad. But they have a culture that shames them so bad that they go to extreme lengths to mask their homelessness.

  • Algorithms are like small AIs
  • Was demoing a thing internally, and the higher up asks if the NPC was AI driven.

    It’s all pretty basic behaviour we programmed in, follow but not too close. When I point, go there and wait till I’m done doing my thing. A couple other things.

    But my PM said “no, it’s just got some basic rules”… and I’m like bro, it’s arguably AI. Just say it’s AI.

  • Good new book written for an ADHD reader

    Started reading this book by an ADHDer YouTuber I’ve been watching, and I think it’s really good so far. Only stop reading at page 42 cuz my wife turned off the lights for bed.

    Anyone else reading it?

    What Bitwarden alternatives should i consider if for Passkey support is important to me?

    I’m hearing people really love 1password. I believe they also were the first ones to come up with a mobile-friendly implementation prior to iOS/Android support for third party password managers.

    Seems like 1password has been and is on the ball as far as having the freshest features the fastest.

    What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise?

    Their foot steps sound like they just have 2 pegs for feet… they hit so hard.

    And they frequently, almost daily, spend the entire evening stomping around the entire footprint of their apartment.

    Are there people who really just get the top floor, and think “I’m so smart, and everyone else can get fucked” then proceed to make all the fucking noise in the world?

    Spotify App, have they fully abandoned it?

    I got an email about the new TV interface for Spotify, it said it was for TVs, streamers, consoles, etc.

    I open Spotify on the ATV and it’s the same shit it’s been for years.

    They never implemented lyrics either.

    I like it too much to move away, but this kinda pisses me off.

    Difficult touch targets

    I struggle to click on anything that has a height of 1 line of texts. Short comments, post titles… other stuff

    It’s actually pretty aggravating.

    Idk what the solution is for this, but it’s a problem I virtually never had w Apollo. Is the touch target only the line of text and not inclusive of the padding around the text?

    How do I get my Sonos Play:3 to show up in Homekit as a mediaplayer?

    I've got Sonos showing up in HomeAssistant, as a media player with all the expected controls and info.

    I tried going through the UI, creating a new homekit integration, accessory mode, selecting just the 1 single sonos to be included.

    This yields me a series of switches in the Home app on my iPhone.

    I've tried adding the sonos through an accessory mode entry in yaml to make it mascarade as a TV and a Receiver, but each time it shows up as a "TV"/"Receiver" in the home app, but with only a power button.

    I've read through https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit none of the troubleshooting tips helped, I heeded all info I could find on media_players, tv, and receivers.

    Can any one help me with this? It seems like it should be possible, I really wan't expecting this to give me the trouble it has.

    Ultimately I just want to be able to control things like play/pause/skip/volume via siri, if you've got other suggestions to that end, I'm all ears.

    Repeated "Your Apple ID was used to sign in..." Emails that I did not trigger

    The emails look legit, came from noreply@email.apple.com, don't even have a link in them to reset password, just a plaintext url to access appleid settings if I need to reset password.

    > Dear <>, Your Apple ID (<>) was used to sign in to iCloud via a web browser. Date and Time: October 21, 2023, 10:30 PM PDT If the information above looks familiar, you can ignore this message. If you have not signed in to iCloud recently and believe someone may have accessed your account, go to Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com) and change your password as soon as possible. Apple Support

    I have 2fa enabled, and haven't got a login request any time I've got one of these emails.

    The password isn't used for anything else, and is complicated enough that I highly doubt it was bruteforced.

    The only other thing of note, is that around the time I started getting these emails, my windows machine prompted me a couple of times in a couple of days to re-sign-in to the iCloud desktop app. But the signin requests have stopped on windows, and the emails have continued. Oh, and this desktop currently shows up 4 times in the appleid devices list for some reason.

    Anyone have any idea whats going on?

    As a last resort I may contact apple support, but 1. I've been apple support before, and 2. the couple of times I've been stumped by apple device behavior, even their highest available support specialist couldn't resolve the issue (Though, I did eventually figure it out on my own)

    [Bug] Fails to post when logged out & login only visually defaults to lemmy.world

    There is no error or anything when you try to make a post without logging in, it simply sit there w the spinning wheel until you hit cancel. It should prompt to login before user is allowed to compose a post.

    And

    When logging in, visually, it appears that the instance field defaults to lemmy.world, however the field is treated as blank

    And and

    Had to navigate away from login page after the above issue left the page in a faulted state and wouldn’t let me press “login” again after filling out the instance field.

    [Feature request] Push notifications

    This is such an important feature to me, as a person who really likes to engage in back and forth comment conversations, timely responses are immensely helpful, and only feasible with notifications.

    I’m aware there are on going costs, personally I’m happy to pay a couple of bucks a month for push notifications alone. More if other features are also included.

    [Bug] Can’t refresh inbox to show newest replies

    Still trying to figure out reproduction steps, but it happens frequently.

    I get a push notification for a new comment reply (from another lemmy app) while browsing inside of Avelon. I click inbox and see no new reply.

    I go to pull to refresh, but it won’t refresh, no icon or anything. Just scrolls.

    Workaround: I switch from all inbox to unread and then I can see the new reply.

    Edit (via bean): Seems that all pages, inbox all, inbox unread, and the post view will only refresh once per load. And have to be navigated away from before they can be refreshed again.

    Are push notifications planned?

    Totally worth a recurring paid plan, it’s one of the key features for me, as it enables much better community discussions.

    Comment Reply Notification not scrolling to comment

    I’m often participating in multiple conversations at once. So it’s particularly necessary to go to the original context when reading a comment reply.

    However, when I get a new comment reply, I click on it in the inbox to go to the context, it appears to try to load the context and scroll to the right spot but if the thread has more comments than fit on a screen, then it just scrolls down one page, and stops scrolling before loading/displaying more comments. This means I have to do a lot of scrolling before I get to the highlighted comment.

    It’s actually quite annoying.
