MrNorm@lemmy.worldto [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•How do you feel about Tom Scott going on hiatus after 10 years?English11·2 years agoTom Scott has been in my life for the best part of 7 years and it didn’t hit me how much I would miss him until that montage at the end of his last video, where I was reminded of so much stuff. It really made me smile, laugh and then feel quite emotional because the weight of that chapter ending suddenly hit me.
Sometimes you can only really appreciate something when it’s too late. Tom put so much effort into all of his content. Far more than the average YouTuber.
That’s not to say he’s gone forever, which he clearly stated but I would love to buy him a drink and thank him in person for being in my life and entertaining me for all that time.

MrNorm@lemmy.worldto Sony @lemdro.id•Google is now putting product ads on the home screen of my Sony Bravia TVEnglish8·2 years agoI didn’t know this! Thanks.
Are there any as glossy as the default? I had a look at F Launcher and Wolf screenshots but they didn’t wow me that much
MrNorm@lemmy.worldto Home Automation@lemmy.world•Doorbell Camera That Has Continuous RecordingEnglish2·2 years agoI’m using a Hikvision DS-KV6113-WPE1 with indoor station with Frigate. The hardware has its quirks but it’s mostly great
Sorry this doesn’t help the issue but can someone tell me what the cat animated icon is because I think I need it immediately, thanks.
I’ve been finding the same and have just started using the filter option in my client lately. It’s not ideal but the alternative is that I get bored of seeing it and stop using Lemmy altogether.
I do worry that the repetitive content will drive new users away

I’m in Wayland but that’s because I’m Intel Integrated. If it was Nvidia I might have leaned more towards X111
MrNorm@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Gay doctor flees Louisiana due to anti-LGBTQ+ laws: ‘I don’t have a choice’38·2 years agoHe’s a cardiologist, so no. I’d say it’s the unhinged antiquated homophobia that did it
MrNorm@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?2·2 years agoYep I did this and then ran out of time and sold the kit at a huge loss
MrNorm@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?9·2 years agoThe second hand market for Lenovo laptops is usually pretty good. Lots of corporations have hardware cycles and recycle the things in huge waves. I’ve picked up an X230 and X270 for fractions of what they were worth new. Accessories too.
MrNorm@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Good local-only/local-first wifi thermostat?English3·2 years agoRecently I went through some pain with this myself. Had a full Heatmiser setup with wireless receivers in every room and 2 manifold controllers for our underfloor heating on two floors.
The devices ate batteries like nothing I’ve seen before and regularly dropped off the network and didn’t send call to heat signals properly, so I decided to switch out the thermostats for cheap ZigBee temperature sensors.
I then ordered a relay board from AliExpress with a baked in esp8266 cheap and flashed esphome onto it. These replaced my manifold controllers
After trial and error, I now have my heating system run by esphome and home assistant. It has been faultless! Will probably reinstall the Heatmiser kit if I sold the house though
MrNorm@lemmy.worldto UKCasual@lemmy.world•Does anyone know why so many "celebrities" are doing adverts for Royal Match?!English3·2 years agoI’ve been seeing them on YouTube. Amanda Holden is another one but that’s all I’ve seen so far. It might just be a collab for Britain’s Got (no) Talent or something
MrNorm@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Numerous Tesla owners say they've been trapped inside their EVs after they lost power.English81·2 years agoYep I thought the same after seeing 3 Tesla bashing posts one after the other in my feed. I don’t care for the brand but I also don’t want to hear about every single defect with them in individual posts.
I think the ‘technology’ topic is too broad and allows for this sort of shit slinging to happen too easily.
Did the same on my ThinkPad X270 last week. Went for Arch and everything worked out of the box. KDE Plasma + Wayland was a doddle too. Very happy!
It’s dual boot with Windows 10 for now but I think I’m ready to delete the Windows partitions already
