I have some gen 1 devices but at this point the hardware probably is worth replacing I think the mics are going bad on a few I have.

There are 3rd parties that appear to be working on the LACK of music quality speaker with alternatives to the voice only PE.

As I said the PE has a bad speaker.. My existing devices are in 5 different rooms and mostly used for casual music listening. I have no intent on purchasing PEs + external speakers for every room. Particularly to clutter night stands.

I am waiting for something more like this.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5yNEhcAjWU

Or something like a amazon dot or google mini with an OK music speaker

I have refused to purchase one, hoping a better speaker comes out as I have several rooms to replace google devices in.

I have seen cheap external computer speakers suggested several times, you can often find them dirt cheap at second hand and surplus stores.

US automakers broke their deals on running factories here. We have no native auto brands (other than attempted startups) building factories.

No need to protect US brand pricing anymore, let’s make cars affordable to Canadians

Based on the exact wording I think this is a hard swap on religious people’s take on evolution and atheism to make that exact point.

Consolidations of forums onto subreddit style systems including Lemmy. They almost completely replaced individual forums with subtopics.

While Lemmy is still open the consolidations really cut down on the independence of a lot of the older forums or even whole sites.

I have only ever seen negatives posted about these types of programs.

Keep in mind that the events are normally when you also want it.

Think of them turning your AC off during a heat wave type of event.

As someone who self hosts most things I would never hand over control to the utility for my HVAC.

Going to find out if things improved when I pull them out for Christmas again this year.

Picked up the Christmas lights 2 last year mattter allowed for on off and solid color control not much else. Nothing like scenes or patterns.

I used Govee2mqtt to control them instead from HA as the built in integration didn’t support that model yet last year and G2M just had way more features .

Government, has approved a cost saving measure that Canada Post has been asking for for years. It was mandated as a grandfathered item for existing service. New developments have all been community mailboxes for a long time.

Government is being reasonable, the Union is not.

He also rebranded it the Harper Government in all government ads and communications.

25 years, or at least by the date we sort of agree on the first year is a little fuzzy lol.

 

Probably the first article in a while that clearly outlines WHERE the negations are at and what each side wants.

 

I was recently trying to get some of the 4 player local games I have to work remotely.. Some have native multiplayer but with limitations (castle crashers only lets two local and two remote players play) bople battle only allows one local player in remote multi player mode.

However for both the above I was able to get remote play together working which basically let me map the remote player to a controller and play the game in local mode.

This however only worked on these games, I THINK they are linux native.. Games that didn't work / provide no controller mapping for remote play together Streets of rage 4, TMNT Redders revenge did not work. These games show support for remote play together in the steam library but I suspect the limitation is on the steam deck?

Anyone else have experience with Remote Play Together on the steam deck? It is nice as the remote party doesn't need a copy of the game and as noted gets around some of the multi player limits of some games.

Any suggestions? Alternatives? Tweaks?

 

Wouldn't be the holiday shopping season without some payment processing outages.

 

Due to variable subject length and these items being part of the same line as the subject they get pushed around a lot which makes them hard to see find when scrolling through history.

Would be nice if these links / scores where at the front of the subject OR the "next line" to be consistent.
