Another option to consider would be TSDProxy.

New comment by LiquidFlux in "Replace Philips Hue Automation with Home Assistant's"

Their Hue bulbs are particularly high quality as light bulbs go, and their motion sensors are one of the PIR & Zigbee best in class available (a big thing being their short trigger CD).

It's separately a reasonable upgrade path for people becoming increasingly familiar with smart home tech, smart bulbs are a particularly easy entry point with clear added value with new features (white temperature is a personal favourite) and battery operated motion sensors, with a clear path to further home automation adoption with Home Assistant.

I'm not a Meet user but Google have a PIP extension of their own for Chrome that might also work for the same purposes.

There exists a CSS property to disable highlighting, user-select: none; I believe, but in this case ( with JS enabled ) the highlight colour is simply not WCAG AA2 compliant and is nearly the same colour as the background

I've used Autobind a great deal as of recent with React classes, it's been both pleasant to use and I've yet to experience any issues with it.

So why are you passing on the laptop, if particular software in this case is the issue?

Extending upon this, Sync for Android is pleasant.

Do Argos' have showrooms or open floors? My experience, 10 years back, was limited to a looking through a catalogue, punching in a barcode into their stock checking device, and waiting for our number to appear on the screen in the waiting area after having paid.

Our services have just become available again, initial downtime starting at 20:25 GMT, uptime returning at 20:56 GMT

EDIT: App Engine and Kubernetes environments in our EU region appeared to go down, Compute Engine was okay.

New comment by LiquidFlux in "Chrome developer tools to master"

LiquidFlux — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 09:49:47 +0000

My understanding is that Chrome emulates viewports and little more, it doesn't support different rendering engines and such.

You should use it to understand what various mobile devices might look like, great for prototyping, but it doesn't replace physical or truly virtualised devices ( as a service / VMs ) for testing.

I believe you can replicate the bang functionality in Google Chrome, should you use it.

If they were wrapped up in a single package that was marketed towards buying and playing those games, using the same logic they quite probably would be.

I'm assuming it could be relating to the inability to play a game you've just bought, if limited to just the Steam Store app.

That alone isn't exactly competition against the first-party's store.
