Perhaps I’m being dense but how do you see this helping Linux Gaming?
Even assuming that VBS-E allows Game Devs to shift their current kernel based anti-cheat over to it there’s no guarantee that Linux will get a compatible VBS-E module nor that Game Devs would allow its use.
I guess I see it as: If a Game Dev does this (use VBS-E) AND Linux gets a compatible module AND Game Devs allow its use THEN newer games may not have the same problem with anti-cheat as older ones.
Due to planned virtualisation in Windows
I must have missed something. What are you referencing with this comment?
Be careful with Home Assistant. Once you board that train it’s near impossible to get off!
For so many of my use cases the Echo and Echo Show products by Amazon are exactly what is needed. For instance in the living my full sized echo is ideal for voice commands and playing music but in my bedroom a Show 5 / 8 is what you want in order to see the time, play music, and have wakeup alarms. I wish I could either find a company building a generic version of them or find a way to reload them to work with HA instead of Amazon. :/
I’d buy Android tablets and run the HA Companion App on them but it still doesn’t have wakeword support.
I could build a small fleet of rPIs in touch screen cases but even then you have to bolt on a microphone and speakers so they still wouldn’t have a finished / polished look.
I have no problem spending a reasonable, or even maybe unreasonable, amount of money to get a nice looking Wyoming Satellite but I’ll be darned if I can figure out HOW. I’m actually kind of astonished that no over-seas manufacturer has started making something like a gutted Echo / Echo Show that you can slide a raspberry pi board into.
What are you referring to when you say "when can we use the weather forecast on our dashboards? "
I’ve probably got the simplest and most “Out of the Box” dashboard stuff going on you can imagine and I’ve got forecast data showing with automations that run against it. What am I missing?
Big truth right there.
Today you can use an inline “RunAs” command such as "runas /user:Administrator “powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -command Set-Location "$PWD"; .\install.ps1”
Additionally, Sudo will soon be available in Win11.
What did you to move the curtains?
What happened to Hanlon’s Razor?
Rossman happened. He has videos that need watched.
Have you tried Pinta?
"Yeah sure, whatever, it’s not like millions are going to end up using this thing.”
Literally. GIMP started as homework back in 1995 for two College Programmers who didn’t want to write a compiler in scheme/lisp.
But GIMP developer should match their UI layout to industry standard.
People have been asking for that since at least 1998 so I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for it to happen.
The damn thing was written by a couple of College Students who had no experience with graphic arts and man does it show. The UI has been the number #1 complaint since the 1.0 release back in 1998; how it’s never been updated / overhauled is simply beyond me.
Reolink.
Wow, this is one of the most thorough answers I’ve ever seen on any HA forum! Thank you!
2nd the Reolink. I have one, works well with HA.
I got it setup with MQTT after about an hour of futzing but I still need to wire it to my GDO.
I was really hoping to just connect it to WiFi and straight into home assistant without messing with a broker.
If you have a Sec 2.0 opener then you will probably be able to. Just be sure to check before you order.
I just hate that Chamberlain pulled what they did.
Me too, although I never used MyQ. I already have a fully functional Z-Wave setup that I built myself before ratGDO existed but there was so much hype around this thing that I figured I’d get one and see what it was about.
I had some time to play with it and I’m underwhelmed. I’m not sure how I overlooked this before ordering but if you have a Security 1.0 system like I do then you MUST use MQTT. The ESPHome firmware isn’t compatible with Sec 1.0 at all.
I’ve also managed to lock it up (device becomes unresponsive) three times while trying to configure it for MQTT. I can flash it just fine but there’s something I’m missing with the MQTT setup which isn’t surprising since it’s all new. I’ve never had to use it before and have zero idea WTF I’m doing.
I’ll get it going but right now I’m wondering if it’s worth the effort.
Yes, if we assume that various institutions (cough cough looking at you EU) allow MS to remove kernel access.
VSB-E isn’t really “user space” but your point about the kernel is valid.
The word “should” is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence. Even if it COULD that doesn’t mean devs will allow it nor does it mean that existing games will get updated on EITHER platform. Removing a kernel level anti-cheat could easily be the death of some older games on Windows as the owner simply doesn’t want to put the money into making it work.
I’m honestly not too sure how possible it is to make VSB-E work on *nix either, since it appears to use Microsoft Hyper-V technologies at its core and those wouldn’t be available in *nix. That means that we’d be back to Game Devs having to specifically write anti-cheat for *nix…which is something they can already do if they want.
VSB-E is interesting but I’m not convinced its going to do anything for Linux Gaming at all. Hopefully I am wrong. :)
