Yeah I take the tips off and only clean those bits. On my earbuds they have a pretty good mesh filter which stops wax etc. getting further into them

I use an ultrasonic cleaner with warm soapy water. Works wonders - they basically look new!

Can it play Doom?

That repo is an amazing example of something so well documented as to how it works they completely neglected to have even a paragraph explaining what it really does and why I would want to use it.

As far as I can tell it’s a Spotify connect client which runs as a daemon so you probably need to control it remotely? Kinda like how AirPlay works on apple devices? Is that right?

I can’t stand voice assistants. I have ZigBee switches all over the house for lights, or I control things directly from my phone. Works really well for me!

This reads like an AI response to me.

Mac OS has never used X11 as a primary display system. Apple had a version they supplied with older Mac OS X versions for people using older Unix applications (and half-arsed ports) but that’s been unsupported since 2012. You can install the modern “XQuartz” open source equivalent, but it’s still secondary.

It’s a shame neither compatible controller seem to support iOS gaming mode. I guess a lot of emulators are fine with keyboard emulation but it will lose any analogue possibilities

StopTheMadness on iOS allows redirects (and I’m sure other extensions do too) but it doesn’t actually take you to that page; it just directs back to the regular homepage.

Using the website (with an ad blocker) is marginally better than the app already. I hated the app in the past as I was convinced it was draining my battery unnecessarily…and it turns out that was a deliberate social experiment which filled me with rage.

Event listings is why I still use it, though. Friends, gigs, etc. I’ve tried to get friends to use Partiful instead at least but that doesn’t work well enough, and even that has issues.

Well yeah, it has inferior potassium.

I have a Uniquiti G4 Doorbell Pro and a standard mechanical bell (I’m in Europe so it’s a Honeywell chime and the transformer came with the doorbell)

Integration with HA is good, but it does need some sort of Ubiquiti NVR at the very least to operate. I have a Dream Router as my main router so that functions as both. If you aren’t already using Ubiquiti gear this can get expensive quickly.

But the equipment is (in my experience, I know others have variable opinions, especially with software updates) very positive.

I do this and it’s pretty reliable
