Oh yeah absolutely. That’s what this HA update sounds like it’s solving, which is very exciting! Going to need to pick up some ESP32s with IR myself now. The SofaBaton is a higher quality product that matches the Harmony which is why I brought it up

If you’re looking for Harmony level usage and have a pretty penny to spend, look at SofaBaton. Programmable universal remote with hub, and there are home assistant integrations for local control.

Typecasting, I believe it’s called

Oh I more than understood your question, as much as there was one. I’m taking the piss out of you because your question is more of a rant than anything else.

Move somewhere else if you don’t like it. You live in an industrial area. As do I, where the trains stop traffic multiple times per day since we have lumber yards here. And we all deal with it because we chose to live here.

The fuel costs of having the train do what it does, even though it’s an inconvenience for you, will certainly be substantially less than them catering to you. That’s by my estimation though. If you have data showing otherwise, let’s take a look at it.

That’s a separate issue. You asked a question, and an answer was given.

I bet that your city is used to having trains, seeing as they’re pretty major infrastructure, and had the good sense to have multiple police and fire stations on each side, thus not negatively impacting their response times.

Have you called the station managers or whatever to file an official complaint? If not, you’re wasting your time complaining here.

How do trains save fuel

By reducing the number of freight trucks on the road

Yours is so much nicer than mine!! I got this one made for our little studio apartment, but we never really used it so I didn’t bother polishing it up. The temp on the fridge is the apartment temp, and the lights are visible buttons, but I love your invisible buttons and will follow how you did it if I end up doing it again!

Embeds from Immich work really well!

I’ve been in this situation for a few years now (Working from home, wanting to share screens between devices).

KVMs and HDMI Switches are what to look for, as others have said. Scenes aren’t something you’re going to get cheaply, but you’ve still got options. For reference, I currently have three 27in 1440p monitors.

The first one I bought was a cheap 2 HMDI IN->2 HDMI OUT that worked pretty well. It’s straight 1-to-1 matching, you can’t mix and match what goes where without actually moving the cables, but it was great for having my main and right monitor be easily switched between my Desktop and Work computers. My left monitor is just for my desktop so I can multitask.

It died after a couple years and I upgraded my main monitor to my first 1440p which it couldn’t handle anyways. I wanted to use my main with Display Port so I got a 1 HDMI IN->2 HDMI OUT for just my right monitor. Center monitor has multiple inputs so I just use the screen’s buttons to switch.

My current monitor setup I literally setup this week. Each has multiple HDMI and DP inputs and it takes just a few seconds to switch each one with its built in switcher, and I honestly think this is the way to go.

After a few years of doing it, I say if you are able to, prioritize nice monitors with multiple inputs and use their built in systems for switching. A few more button presses, but that’s just a few seconds of time.

I’m still not sure what you mean either. Not once have I ever needed to use the ‘Circle to Search’ feature (what happens when the Home key is held on Pixels, which appears to be what you’re using in your picture) to save a picture. If I want a screenshot, I just use Power+VolDown

Edit: I see what you mean now. The app switcher (Using gestures so swiping up from the home button) is what you’re using. Yeah, copy button now. Just select Files from the list and it’ll download it. Likely changed to prioritize sharing memes quickly instead of doanloading for personal use.

Commenting more so I can easily find this thread again, since I’d be curious as well.

For personal photos that I share I use Immich, and Immich-Proxy for sharing the photos (so I’m don’t want to directly share the actual URL of my Immich server). Works well for that, but doesn’t anywhere meet the drag and drop simplicity of Imgur.

I’d sure hope that the latest generation of a technology would be considered safe. That’s generally how things work. And then when accidents occur, we learn and make things safer the next time.

As to them considering it completely safe, I’d love to read about that if you have sources. Cause I doubt that they thought it couldn’t fail.

Chernobyl happened through the incompetence of leadership, not because they thought it was “completely safe”.

Much different, IME. Digital rides generally sit in a single room instead of a whole actual ride, but the chairs/carts more around, drop you, etc. If it’s something like a nature exploration (flying around the world) they’ll often increase the experience with tactile things like spray (when above an ocean) and wind. They’re pretty cool

FLIRC is your friend! It’s a USB IR receiver that you can train with literally any IR remote you have. Once you set it up (and it does take a little elbow grease to train it), it just works.

I’ve never understood it either. I have to assume it’s a younger generation thing that’s moving into more online spaces as that generation grows up.

ETA will always be Estimated Time of Arrival. An actual useful acronym.

But if it’s absolutely required

It’s not.

For now. Don’t fight to give them an inch

Only real ones

I’ve been using SwiftKey since before Microslop bought them, I think way back to my Nexus 7 tablet. It’s… enshitefied in some ways with extra bloat, but I’m way too used to it at this point and I do love it’s customization options.
