The speakers have a telnet interface and DLNA support, but no documentation and I was not able to make it work with MiniDLNA in a couple of hours of trying.

`git commit` has a `-v` option that adds the diff to the bottom of the commit message template so you can see it while you write the message.

I just tried this for a standup meeting, and the inability to tell who said what is a show stopper. You'll need to add speaker diarization for this to be useful for more than 1:1s.

Glad you're having fun, but it had the "website with autoplay" vibe.

Don”t most banks offer this exact service for free? My credit union calls it “bill pay.” I use it for exactly the use cases you list.

I think it means that it's like [Lunos](https://www.lunos.de/en/for-heat-recovery). The unit alternates between exhaust and intake every couple of minutes. The air being exhausted heats up a core, which in the next cycle warms the air from the outside. Lunos e2 is advertised to recover 90% of heat and 20–30% of humidity.

The US Coast Guard cutter Healy (their largest ship and largest icebreaker) was in the area around that time. (Source: https://www.highnorthnews.com/en/usas-largest-icebreaker-nor...) It would make sense for them to help out.

Is there a good source for which makes, models, and model years “phone home”? I would absolutely take it into account when shopping for a new or used car, but I’ve had no luck with Googling.
