GrapheneOS is getting Android Auto support
  • You can say what you want, but using a phone instead of the integrated dashboard of your car is not a better experience. I kinda like android auto. My stupid car didnt support android auto wireless (only cable), but I bought a device that acts as a bridge. So now my phone automatically connects to Android auto and it just works every time. I can open my calendar on my dashboard and navigate to the addresses of my appointments with one click.

  • What is a fun gadget you have purchased that has added value to your life?
  • I bought a cheap low power minipc. Don't know the numbers but having a 10yo desktop powered 27/7 can't be that great for your power consumption.

    The one I bought is an Intel Alder Lake N100 Quad Core up to 3.4GHZ, 16GB DDR5 512GB for €160.

  • What is a fun gadget you have purchased that has added value to your life?
  • Awesome. I also waited a while for mine. I have 5 cameras. The coral is widely available now, but instead of €65 for the usb version I paid almost double. Still cheaper then a graphics card that would do the same.

  • Doesn't frigate need a lot of processing power? I bought a minipc (€160) with a Google coral (€110) for AI image processing. My synology just couldn't handle it. I run all my docker containers on that minipc now. Also Home Assistant, mqtt, zigbee2mqtt, frigate. Some other that I like are immich and vaultwarden.

  • What are you looking forward to in 2024?
  • The big difference with Europe. I live in Belgium and I can visit 4 countries that are less then a 2 hour drive.

    I've never been outside of Europe though.. So I guess I have to compare it with that.

  • Any updates?
  • With those prices, the only people who will pay for it are (some) of the long time fans. I can't believe anyone new to Lemmy will ever go to Sync when there are so many alternatives. Those prices just scare people away. I'm pretty sure he would earn more if it was like $1-2/year.

  • Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024
  • I just can't get used to Firefox. Last time I tried it (earlier this year), I tried for 2 months. Can't remember all the reasons, but using the adresbar as calculator and see the results without pressing enter is so ingrained in my way of working. Just alt+d, 2+2 shows the result. Give me something better than that and I'll give Firefox an other shot.

    Edit: lol at my downvotes. That's what I get for asking a genuine question I guess. People really looove their Firefox here. (me too, but I'm missing some features)

  • OpenSubtitles.org is shutting down it's previous API. Now only authenticated access allowed.
  • I use bazarr in combination with a vip membership of opensubtitles. I've been doing this for years since they have been adding ads in them for multiple years. Messages like "This subtitle was downloaded from" are also removed.

  • OpenSubtitles.org is shutting down it's previous API. Now only authenticated access allowed.
  • People are getting the their pitchforks out but I think they are misunderstanding. Opensubtitles.ORG is being replaced by opensubtitles.COM. They just are stopping access to the ORG website. I have already migrated to the COM website for a while. And a 20 downloads/a day limit for free users is very reasonable.
