And why the old “ice boxes” are top load only. And why most boat fridges/freezers are top-load, because energy is scares/finite when disconnected from power.

I’ll check this out. But some things really need an app. Like gps for payees like ynab4 app has.

But the speed is certainly a factor.

I moved to actual about 3 months ago from YNAB4. I’d moved to nYNAB then back to YNAB4 after a second price hike and then to actual.

No regrets. I run it as a docker on unraid and reverse proxy so I can access it remotely.

Feels a ton like YNAB.

Works on Windows, my macbook. The only missing thing IMHO is a dedicated mobile app (for Android in my case). The web works ok, but a dedicated app could improve the experience

I’m sure a lot of people’s self hosting journey started on junk hardware… “try it out”, followed by “oh this is cool” followed by “omg I could do this, that and that” followed by dumping that hand-me-down garbage hardware you were using for something new and shiny specifically for the server.

My unRAID journey was this exactly. I now have a 12 hot/swap bay rack mounted case, with a Ryzan 9 multi core, ECC ram, but it started out with my ‘old’ PC with a few old/small HDDs

So, my current whole house audio is powered by Chromecast Audios. Unfortunately they no longer make them. But you can still get them new off eBay. I know because I just bought 5 more (unopened from Japan) as part of finishing our basement

Mine feed two 12 channel (six room) amplifiers. I’ve got a mini in each room whose default speaker is the associated CCA and it works great. I have speaker groups so I can ask “hey Google, play music in the basement” and all rooms play.

Previously I used casatunes. They don’t do this anymore, but I bought a PCI card from them (it was a sound blaster hardware) but it was a 6 channel sound card and associated software that ran on windows IIS. It allowed both hardware and software streaming. I liked it but it never supported Google music and eventually I switched to the CCAs

I switched over to Actual last month, and am not looking back. I will miss the native android app, but it is an otherwise direct replacement. I was using YNAB4, and had forever.

Are phone manufacturers running different voltage batteries?

Does that remove any on device AI the pixel camera does? Or is it just an uncompressed version of the same photo?

I am on the latest patch, and am not yet seeing this :(

I don’t care about any game stats for my phone but it is annoying that my P9P XL lags when it’s connected to AA and I want to grab it fast, double click the power button to open the camera and snap a quick picture.

I’ve experienced the same lag with previous Pixels. Assumed it was a RAM issue and maybe it is, but it’s annoying nonetheless.

My 9 pro did this last Friday when sitting on the AC vent in my car which I too have never seen before.

My 8 pro sat in the same place many times.

I’d guess I get about 10 days which would include 5-6 50 minute GPS activities and, wearing it / tracking HR 24/7.

Watch estimates 21 days on full charge (not accounting for activities).

I just don’t have to think about /manage is

This is my same complaint. I have been using Garmin watches for fitness, and when they got got a little less utilitarian looking I started wearing it full time to be a watch/track steps and continue tracking fitness activities.

I would like a better notification handling and ability to reply to notifications/message but not at the expense of battery life.

I got a Pixel 2 watch ‘free’ with the purchase of a Pixel 8Pro last year. I tried wearing it for a few weeks, and no surprise, the battery life is just not enough for me (non starter). Second, IMHO that watch overall is too small. My Garmin is the largest they have (Fenix 6X Pro) as it had the best battery life. Going down to the tiny screen/battery Pixel watch 2 was just never going to work for me.

The 3 has two sizes now which is nice, but the battery life is still way to short.

Thanks!

So, why is organic maps hidden with the default anti features of f-droid? Which of these that have allowed my other installs does organic maps not comply with?

None of these look like something I’d want to turn off!

Crazy random crap breaking!

Latest thing I noticed is at least with the home devices you can no longer get who/what band is playing.

It only tells you the song name. The band/artist is the primary reason I ask, not the song title.

Ya, all you have to do is install something different on every device you own/watch YouTube on.

You also, have to be technical enough to side load, or compile revanced etc… I’ve heard over and over that ubo keeps having updates/changes to keep yt ads down.

I actually am technical enough to do those things, but both doing and managing these various apps across multiple devices in my house is a lot of work. Or, I can just pay for the music and TV I watch.

For the record, I also have and paid for GrayJay app on my phone and do also use it on occasion. We have used smart tube TV in the past because when my son was younger Google had shit parental controls and we couldn’t allow his child account to access regular yt (restricted). I’ve got it side loaded on both our Nvidia shield and gtv devices. Too bad it doesn’t work on android TV, or my wife/sons iPhones.

Ya, my TV is actually ‘smart’ but I use the Nvidia shield through an AV receiver which feeds 5.1 speakers and the TV.

There are android apps (I could side load) on my Nvidia shield, but like I said I don’t mind paying for something I use , and use a lot.
