Wasn’t Tesla backsliding a few months ago because Democrats are kind of abandoning them? Living in California where every other car is a Tesla though, that was either short-lived or never true.
I don’t think it’s hard to understand regardless what their experience with billing terms may be.
“Don’t give them credit” still makes sense to me as someone who has that experience. It also makes sense to me as just a normal human that maybe we shouldn’t just let unreliable parties pay later given their wild (basically public at this point) history with paying people.
I do this with Apple News. Not sure if anything like it exists, but what worries me is Apple cut their News development staff recently which makes me think people (at least Apple users) don’t value journalism enough to support it.
Is this a joke? Back in my office days I constantly had to switch to Chromium-based browsers to load websites with shit security (TLS 1.0 anyone?). Chrome’s even dumb enough to let you load an <iframe> without checking the content-type.
Maybe, I mainly used it just to connect to Home Assistant. I already channel everything into it for it to control everything, so I’m not really doing things like connecting Aqara and Hue for example.
You know, I think I was rushing through things too fast after a day of programming for 8 hours with close to no breaks.
After I calmed down, ate dinner and came back to it in a more leisurely fashion I found it to be pretty easy.
I think what got me was that I’m not too familiar with Matter and Thread, so having to have another Docker container going was unexpected and frankly I wasn’t in the mood to learn anything new.
The sensors seem to be reporting happily and often. I’m pretty impressed so far (other than the ports on the hub, but I can live with that).
I just got an Aqara M3 hub as well as the temperature sensors today, and I’m already kind of wishing I hadn’t.
It’s next to impossible to get an Ethernet cable and/or power cable into the damn hub. It got my WiFi credentials but refuses to connect to it since I used Ethernet during setup.
Now I’m struggling to add it to Dockerized Home Assistant. I was under the impression Aqara was becoming Home Assistant “certified” but Home Assistant’s Thread/Matter support seems like trash.
Currently pulling another Docker image to my burdened Raspberry Pi 4. It ran out of disk space.
Just frustrated and not understanding why all this is so difficult. I can’t imagine what I’d do if I weren’t a big programming computer geek. They really sell this shit to normal people?
So as much as love Apple to death, unfortunately my iCloud email account that I don’t use anymore has had its information leaked several times over, but I’d rather keep it despite this.
What I don’t want is for it to be even easier to brute force, and I also don’t want to make it easy for Apple (or anyone) to access its data. So for me personally it’s important.
I was too lazy to find the source (but knew it existed) when I wrote that; it’s here at https://support.apple.com/en-us/102630 under the Web Access and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud heading.
I had to start hashing passwords and sending it to the haveibeenpwned API.
I also fight with my users over data normalization because any time I add some rule (like don’t put “SO#” as part of the value of the “SO#” field), they’re too stupid to realize the point and find some other “hack” around it.
Uh… pretty much everyone is except for end-users. Even then we’ve got Android and other Linux-based phone operating systems, and let’s not forget that Apple devices are UNIX-based (which in my mind is way different than Linux, but c’mon, it’s essentially the same concept in the end with tons of varying compatibility between the two).
I was taught you only spell out numbers ten and under, so I would write it:
