Backfire

I've had a Ezviz home camera for years. At some point, the RTSP stream in HA stopped working entirely, and I didn't think much of it.

A week ago I decided to reset the damn thing as the verification password on the bottom didn't take in HA, only to realise that the setup flow on the app just didn't work for configuring WiFi, and there was no feedback at all, or any support articles surround it. I'd given up for a while, plugged in ethernet temporarily instead and tried again.

The correct WiFi setup procedure was hidden away in some menu, which I couldn't even remember using last time (showing a QR to the camera and it silently taking the credentials). Only then I found out about how you can view the camera in the app in LAN View Mode, pray it accepts your verification password without spitting random HTTP errors, and there the RTSP toggle was to be found. I do have the stream back in HA, but my god that was a pain. I've been at it for hours at that point.

Was it worth it? No, I would've thrown it out the window way sooner - but it beats having a paper weight for a camera which used to work fine an hour ago.

Okay so not exactly zero, but until a heavy hitter like Samsung won't even consider, worldwide adoption is going to be low - their flagship just stuck with Qi 1, even though the standard existed for about two or three years at this point.

It has proper first party controller support nowadays. It's very playable

Which wasn't too dissimilar from the Game Gear at the time.

Very true, those can be found occasionally; on the contrary you'd be hard pressed to find a Pizza Hut anywhere. As far as I can tell, there's just two branches left in two major cities.

I once did that with a Samsung powerbank I have. Daisy chained the powerbank to charge itself and a phone in sequence.

The only thing that failed afterwards was one of the cables, but suffering a loss was definitely the reason I didn't attempt to do that again.

Yup, that's my hit of nostalgia for the day taken care of

Web Video Caster can cast to a large number of devices, Chromecast included. It has a lot of companion apps too on several smart TV platforms, all for the sake of getting your media played back on another device.

A few weeks back LTT mentioned on the WAN Show that some YouTube channel would be transitioning to their own (paid) platform; said platform appeared to be running on the Vimeo video backend. If anything, using an external backbone seems like the smart way to go at it.

Yes, that would do the trick

You'd have to rewrite the history as to never having committed those files in the first place, yes.

And then politely ask all your coworkers to reset their working environments to the "new" head of the branch, same as the old head but not quite.

Chaos ensues. Sirens in the distance wailing.

It really hadn't rolled out across the globe yet, so no, it wasn't even really released before getting pulled.
