I have no problems with zigbee. Here it is 33 zigbee devices, 16 being routers (light/power plug switches). No basement.

My friend has problems with zigbee and has moved to matter and is now trouble free. The only fine zigbee stuff for him was the Hue lights though.

If tagging music wasn't so ass I would do it.

Multiple artists, genres, moods all behave different for each player. I hate thinking about tagging music.

Can't say I've had a good experience with picard either. Too many versions for many songs means tags can be anything if you leave it alone and do its thing

Fine is not good enough. New amd cards need a year. Is raytracing fully working (min 90% of the win11 performance) these days?

When I think of tmux I think of coming back to the state I've left things in when I quit more than the tiling features.

What if the solution is garbage? There are ad blockers that click every ad. Random google searches, random chatbot searches, random clicks.

I have a feeling that privacy is easier to protect if you just mix what you want to hide with a lot of garbage.

You want to say the intelligence agencies are the biggest protectors of piracy (Piracy websites love Cloudflare)?

The couch tablet just had old.reddit.com/r/all On my desktop I have thousands of bots on my ignore list as well as hundreds of subs. The tablet gave me the true unfiltered garbage that I hardly see elsewhere.

I'll not login on the couch tablet so no more reddit for me on it.

HD+ is 17 years old already (German hd broadcast for private channels). One of its features were no skipping commercials in your own recordings.

The last state of Omarchy to me was its arch but a script to install that one guys dot files.

Nobody has given me a reason to move of Fedora Atomics.

And I've never gotten into using my phone for anything outside of calls messages and navigation. The web is the worst on tiny vertical screens.

I can't remember this sports without a hydration break (half time). So they've been mandatory for a long time.

Outlawing user tracking/profiling and selling their data would be the biggest change to the internet.

It's an older card running on high/ultra quality settings in those benchmarks. I would be more interested in low/medium settings.

1080 here with 7950X3D+96GB.

Touch goes in there as well. I don't know how they add a new touch keyboard to KDE and have no access to arrow keys. Making it impossible to go up in the terminal.

I'm fine with AI music having AI videos.

But I have never cared about a video when it comes to music.

It is also simple to download from the streaming services so to me things got as simple as pasting a link in the terminal to rip to no internet places like a car

Am I missing something? I can click the 'article' but its a big picture and a single paragraph. That reads like a picture description.
