“...a built-in cigarette case which “hands” you a cigarette at the [unintelligible] of a convenient lever.”
Really disappointed that's all that link had... No pictures or illustrations, not even a proper description :/
The 3d scans you can manipulate on that page are pretty cool.
Not all that surprised by the lighters mechanism though; a bit of nickle chrome wire for a heating element and some bi-metal strips to release it based on temperature. Pretty simple.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country Is where I got that.
Looking into it more though; it seems they used to use both and have since moved to 220v for the majority of things.
Many plug packs (ac-dc adapters) are dual voltage and will handle 220v just fine. Check the label on the plug though. Most other things you will need a transformer unfortunately.
~~The Philippines uses 115v 60hz, like America.~~
They also use these three plug designs:
You may need an plug adapter if you run into the third one, ~~but you won't need a transformer.~~
The microphone disable switch on every google home/amazon alexa device does not physically disable the microphone; it just informs the software that you'd like it to not listen to you. It can still do so whenever it pleases.
This is how/why it is able to respond 'your microphone is currently disabled' when you try to command it with that switch on.
I specify my LAN DNS servers (2 pihole instances, main + a backup for redundancy) in my routers DHCP settings, so they are the DNS servers handed out to all LAN clients; then I have an iptables rule on the router blocking all port 53 traffic from leaving the network unless it came from those LAN DNS servers. This means only the piholes can reach external dns; everything else is required to use the LAN DNS servers or receive no response. Then the piholes have full control over what can and cannot resolve to an IP.
I haven't found a device that doesn't work with this setup. I used to have a couple google homes before I wised up, they worked fine behind this setup.
I'm getting real sick of companies acting like rapists and society just accepting it, if not justifying it for them.
No means no. Plain and simple.
As if the borked update wasn't bad enough, it was also forced on users that explicitly said not to install it.
CrowdStrike’s channel file updates were pushed to computers regardless of any settings meant to prevent such automatic updates
The only thing that came to mind is charging cordless tool batteries between job sites. Most other things you'd want mobile usually has a 12v alternative, if not being explicitly designed for travel.
It really is a stupid limitation, and I'm mostly sure it's there just as an excuse to not payout warranty claims.
4451 movies
398 series / 36130 episodes
Taking up 25.48tb after conversion to HEVC compressing it ~40%
Every series is monitored for new episodes which download automatically; and there's a dozen or so public IMDB lists being monitored for new movies from studios/categories I like. Anything added to the lists gets downloaded automatically.
Then there's Ombi gathering media requests from my friends/family to be passed to sonarr/radarr and downloaded.
At this point, the library continuously grows on its own, and I have to do little more than just tell it what I want to watch.
