It's this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irishin.buttonsremapper&hl=en_US

That sounds very neat. Have any photos?

The weather jellyfish is simply a DIY hanging light kit with a jellyfish lampshade and an RGB bulb connected to Home Assistant, running this automation. The code is simply just check high temp of the day and set it to a certain color based on a 10ºF range I decided on. (I used to have it blink white for snow and blue for rain, but apparently I haven't added that back in since moving away from my previous weather API.) I named it Abbott because Arrival is a great movie.

My LCARS dash is just using this sweet project for HA, and with a few hours of fiddling with all their different UI elements I ended up with this for my living room dash.

It would shut off at 75. If I wanted it to shut off at 68, I'd set both numbers to 68.

"ex wife" is not the normal phrase for when a wife dies.

You don't have to live like that.

68-75. This means if it's between those numbers, the HVAC doesn't turn on.

Probably because it's not as important and the cast isn't as famous.

I like making things. I'm mainly into making costume props and decorations. Basically I'm into making interesting things exactly once, learning a bunch of lessons on what to not do, but never do it again. I'm not a skilled wood worker or metal worker. But! I bound a book myself, coffee stained it, and made the cover out of sewn together leather scraps. It's a Necronomicon. I made a lightsaber almost entirely out of junk from ReStore (mostly plumbing parts). I made an EL wire tree with a dried tree branch about 6ft tall, a spool of decent gauge metal wire, and 50 10ft EL strands. Sanded and painted toy guns. Made a James Webb looking wall decoration out of black foam board, gold hexagons, and an NFC tag. Semi related, I modified an IKEA table to be a vaulted board game table where the tops mount on the wall via French cleat and it has cup holders to keep drinks out and away from spilling on the inside of the table. I have 3D printed some minor costume bits. Made a bunch of wizards wands out of paint, hot glue, and chopsticks. Made a float lamp (tie a bunch of annoying knots around a sphere). Currently trying to modify toy Poke Balls to have a functioning LED button but I really hate soldering.

I'm a programmer by trade so I also tinker with Home Assistant far too much. I have a jellyfish lamp with an RGB bulb that tells me the weather when I wake up. Just made an LCARS (Star Trek UI) dashboard for decoration.

Is that any different from regular gif making? And here I'm assuming it's editing video clips.

I don't understand. When I hike I'm wearing more than I normally do.

Board games!

Get a game development degree in Colorado instead! It's like CS but with less math and more programming projects.

Game development is harder than most programming jobs.

I'd go into the office to see Donna.

8k is a joke.

There are two apps that claim to override the button and one doesn't work and causes issues, while the other has been flawless for me. I set it to open Plex. Even bought a perfectly sized Plex sticker to cover the Netflix logo.

Finish the first trio. The first two are slow but they build. This is be far the best thing Disney has done for SW, and possibly will ever do.

Boba Fett, every episode except the two that are obviously just The Mando eps, fit OP's question. The show is so bad I bet fans stopped watching SW. It's embarrassing. It's complete and utter garbage.

Cocktails. I'm purely an amateur home bartender (I work in software development) but I'm better at making cocktails than most paid bartenders in the city, including a number of the ones working at craft cocktail bars I've been to across the country. I make my own syrups, creams, infusions, carved ice, and dehydrated fruit. I've recently started using an iSi whipper to make foam toppers; beer foam for old fashioneds, tropical foam for Mai Tais. My avocado orgeat is awesome. Fat washing with coconut oil is easy and makes Campari and cachaça amazing. I've hosted many parties in the 15-28 person range, as well numerous smaller cocktail nights, so I have experience creating thematic menus and then prepping and serving the drinks all night.

I have a ton of knowledge about spirits in general, both breadth and depth. Most bartenders and even mixologists don't even know what baijiu is (let alone tried each aroma), know the difference between soju and shōchū, or why soju is rarely made with rice. My rum knowledge is where I've specialized and I can recommend multiple bottles of each type (Smuggler's Cove categories or Minimalist Tiki's) in varying price ranges, what cocktails they are best for, and the subtle differences between each bottle within its own category.

I'm a perfectly average programmer though.

A good flashlight.

Mostly indoors? Small, 300lm light that takes a AAA battery like the Maker E02II.

Mostly outdoors? Medium sized light that uses an 18650, like the (now discontinued) Zebra Light H600w Mk IV.

Mobile gaming? Battery bank flashlight like the Wurkkos HD20!

Right angle flashlights are easier to hold, use in a headlamp strap, and often have magnetic tail caps to mount to a metal surface.
