GreatAlbatross, to lemmyshitpost in English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense

If it makes you feel better, most Americans can’t pronounce squirrel either.

“Skwerl”

My solution is replacing all les/la/l’ with a vaguely sounding “ll” sound.

I get the odd scathing look.
And occasionally someone will stop the conversation, and ask me to use the correct word, fully away of the shit I’m trying to pull.

What’s the restaurant called? The tipping in CA drives me nuts, it would be nice to have a simple option in Toronto to go for!

GreatAlbatross, to lemmyshitpost in Americans are asleep, post European windows
@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk avatar

I’ve just been looking into this in the UK (so Europe, but not EU).

You can now get split units that come pre-filled with a safer refrigerants that a DIYer is allowed to do themselves.

I would still get an electrician to do the electrical side though. 1KW constant load should definitely be on its own circuit.

We do now have PTP, which has several big improvements. But it’s a lot more involved to set up.

GreatAlbatross, to games in Rock Band 4 DLC support ends next week, after eight years
@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk avatar

Me too man. I had two GH kits and a RB one. Never used them, they gathered dust, then eventually they went in the bin.
They were just so bloody bulky.

I did manage to keep two GHWT guitars and the microphone, thankfully.

GreatAlbatross, to games in Video game actors speak out after union announces AI voice deal
@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk avatar

I’ve done voice acting before, and honestly, you’re right on the money.
So many people don’t even notice if the voice work in a piece of media is good/bad.
Playing one game, several of the main characters sound like they were recorded in completely different rooms.
And I’m sat here like a mug with a deadened setup, wondering why I bothered.

When that little detail is paid, I can see games absolutely jumping on the machine generated bandwagon.

The important question: “Is HouseParty still prohibited?”

GreatAlbatross, to games in Crunchyroll Has Added A Library Of Games To Its Streaming Subscriptions
@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk avatar

Well hold your horses there for a second.
Crunchyroll worked very well in the XBMC addon, before they C&D’d it for no good reason.

GreatAlbatross, to technology in Philips Hue will soon require an account to use its app — here’s what that means
@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk avatar

Ah, excellent! Thanks for that, I’ll definitely see if I can do it under ZHA.

And no problem, glad you got off the hub!

GreatAlbatross, to technology in Why did the metaverse die? Because Silicon Valley doesn’t understand the concept of fun
@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk avatar

Exactly this. When you read about the metaverse in something like Snow Crash, it’s a place built by enthusiasts, very cheap to use, and people have the choice of DIY, or paying someone to do things for them.

In the facebook’s version, everything but connecting costs money, and it’s all done by facebook.

GreatAlbatross, to technology in Philips Hue will soon require an account to use its app — here’s what that means
@GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk avatar

You’ll need to have a zigbee radio on a HomeAssistant instance (maybe possible with other software).
And on HomeAssistant, run ZHA (or similar) with the zigbee radio.
Sorry if that’s teaching to suck eggs, just wanted to clarify.

If you’re already set up with that, it’s just a case of deleting a bulb from the Hue bridge, and searching for it using the zigbee integration. Once it’s deleted from Hue, it will go into pairing mode. You may need to power cycle the bulb if it does not appear in the search within 10s.

HASS was able to support my white/ambiance bulbs and colour bulbs without any issues. In fact, it responds faster. The only downside is that they don’t so much fade, as jump to a new value. The update frequency is about 2 times per second.

The good news is, most hue bulbs can be controlled directly over zigbee now. I migrated mine a few days ago, and the trickiest part was persuading Hue to delete the bulbs so they could enter pairing mode.
