It wasn’t a great show, but the last season seemed to be settling into the swing of things. Disappointed that this is the end this - this show filled a nostalgic void in my life. Keyword says they’re gonna try to shop the show but I’d be surprised to see anyone pick it up at this point..

Unfortunately this will no longer be possible with the mg21 chip used in the blue switches. See Eric’s post linked below:

Who shot Mr burns, part 1!

Woah really? I love learning such simple facts - thank you!

My favorite is Kalamata olives and pepperoni, but your post reminded me that fennel and sausage is easily a close second - did not expect to like that flavor combination at all (really just not a fennel fan). Everyone should try it if they get the chance!

I started with ZHA, but moved to Z2M because there was an automation blueprint I needed that was only coded for z2m.

Gotta say, I’m a much bigger fan of the z2m interface. There’s nothing wrong with ZHA but unless something major changes, I don’t see the need to ever switch back.

What region are you in? I can help with the North American version 70.00.100NA N, which is what I updated to in my 2017 for CarPlay.

Unfortunately, Mazda has been aggressive in taking down all publicly shared links to their firmwares…

RatGDO can do this without the need for a magnetic switch. It’s a simple ESP32 board with easy-to-terminate wire terminals. It also lets you control the lights on your opener, see the current status of the door, and even open the door to an exact in-between position (if your door supports it).

You can program your own ESP32 if you like, or buy one from the guy that made it directly for ~$40.

Still - props to you for making your own solution! I know it’s extra satisfying when you can homebrew your own smart home solutions from scratch - just wanted to share another solution for people who don’t have the same skills.

I’ve never dug into this personally but can’t you set certain dashboards to be admin only? That way you can hide those entities on a dashboard only you have access to.

I assume this wouldn’t prevent someone from going into the full list of entities in the settings menu though.

This was a surprisingly well thought out and educational article - thank you! Was expecting a super basic article for the masses, but this had a number of quality suggestions, pros and cons of the different options, and even the authors personal opinion on preference of Z2M in case the reader wanted a real suggestion.

Thanks so much for this!

Only thing I think I noticed that could be corrected is OTA updates are no longer exclusive to Z2M - ZHA recently added this too, though I haven’t tried it yet and don’t see a reason to ever switch back from Z2M.

FYI- I received an email the other day that sonos officially added voice control for Spotify!

Clickbait title. The real story here is expanding agriculture into the desert isnt sustainable, which is nothing new.

 

Anyone else notice this? I couldn’t find any other info online apart from a Reddit post about two people reporting their AirTags no longer working after updating to iOS 17, so I wanted to post here for visibility and seek advice.

As soon as I updated to iOS 17, my YIP AirTag I used to track my cats location stopped working. Tried factory resetting and a different phone (also on ios17) without success. My other Apple-branded AirTags work perfectly fine.

If Apple truly did nuke support for devices I already own, I am one step closer to abandoning their walled garden….. anyone else here possibly able to confirm this is happening to them too? Is there another community I should be posting this to?

 

Let’s get some recommendations out there for people favorite restaurants in the area. Typically you’ll find some staples in these posts, like Ekiben ( and they deserve the recognition IMO!), but I’d especially be interested in some hidden gems if you’ve got any!

I’ll start:

-Sonny Lee’s Hunan Taste. It’s a bit out of the city, in Reisterstown, but it is hands down the best Chinese food I’ve had in Maryland/in the DMV. Even simple dishes, like sesame chicken, are on a different level from any other casual Chinese food place.

-Kong (Pocha) doesn’t look like much from the outside, but they serve quality Korean food that deserves a visit if you’re looking for a true hidden gem.

-Puerto 511 Cocina is a higher-end Peruvian restaurant, but the price is completely reasonable IMO. The chef is the FRIENDLIEST restaurant owner I’ve ever met, and I will happily continue to give him my business. His menu rotates frequently and includes a number of small plate courses that highlight the cuisine of Peru.

-Cochina Luchadoras is a small mexican restaurant by fells. They serve quality quesabirria style tacos that compliment a walk along the harbor if you’re ever in the area!

Anyone have other restaurants they’d like to shout out?

 

Just got an email about this and wanted to share in case it benefits anyone else.

If you have a 2014-2018 Mazda 3 or a 2016-2021 CX-3 and your backup camera flickers or is distorted, you may be able to bring your car in for a replacement.

Anyone here affected by this yet? I think I’ve seen my camera flicker before, but honestly haven’t paid too much attention before.

 
 

It’s not much, but my garden is living off VERY minimal effort from me this year. Hoping to upgrade my setup next year with better soil, but they still seem to be surviving at least!

Tomatoes seem to be thriving in the carotas tic soil I gave them (not shown)

One more bonus pic:

Post your own setups here if you don’t mind!!
