Have an older z-wave heater valve that seems to be on a version of the protocol no one bothers to be backwards compatible with. Never happened with zigbee no matter the amount of quirks needed from zigbee2mqtt.

Can’t use an IAM role to auth to the bridge, it only works with user’s keys.

Routing should not impact the detection, it's usually based on maxmind's anonymous/datacenter database using your IP. Accuracy won't be 100% of course but you have to show compliance.

In the business of media streaming, rightholder will require that you check for vpn and proxies in addition to countries when deciding if a given viewer will be able to stream a given media.

> It's still going to be pretty common for at least a few years, and the now incorrect assumption that it is still broken I'm sure will persist for a decade or more among those who have been burned and thus moved on from Alpine and do not follow it.

I'm still not going back until I can configure for TCP to be the default.

Was looking at making something that would interact with SystemConfiguration.framework and registers itself on the DynamicStore's callback (something akin to dns-heaven[1]). From the introductory tutorials included with xcode I have no idea what is the equivalent to applicationDidFinishLaunching() where this kind of things would be put. It looked like maybe BackgroundTask is what I'm looking for, but it seems arbitrarily limited on macOS to an urlsession, whatever that is ?

Presumably this would be to ease looking up individual items but 1password has been able to encrypt those since 2012. Nice indeed

They had to limit the output of warmer water in the stream because it was so hot already there was no margin left.

It's the nature of the thing, OLEDs can't display perfectly uniform colours. It's most visible on greys.

There's a lot of "could" and "will need to change" there, don't see hard facts proving a myth.

Good time to remind everyone that the password prompt from Dropbox (in the screenshots, located right below the "Turn on notifications" from the OS) is fake. They pretend to use the password only to turn on accessibility permissions.

But I don't need or care about all that, what I need is a hub just like we had all those years that gives usb3 connectivity in a c form factor to 5 devices or more. If I need more there are plenty docking stations available.

edit: I also looked for a usb A hub with usb-c upstream, still no luck and stuck with a hub+power adapter and dinky otg a-to-c.
