I love how even when new, the plastics on retrocomputers already look yellowed. #retrobright
That’s a lovely desktop picture.
Old computers are great for education software like reading and math.
Homebridge covers a multitude of mistakes. For every non compatible device, you can usually find a Homebridge plug in that’ll make it work. The only exception I’ve run into is with Chamberlain garage door openers because the company is particularly aggressive about funneling you through their app.
Nest should never have sold itself to Google/Alphabet.
Sad, isn’t it? For fun, look up Whirlpool, Albertsons, and Kroger on Wikipedia to see all the brands they own. No wonder prices are high when so much competition has been eliminated.
I love the look and idea of Kavita, but I wish it was written in something like node.js instead of .net. It requires a handful of shared libraries on non-windows platforms, and I can rarely get it to work.
