The iOS client is available through testglight right now, and has this in a banner on the repo:

"This app is still in early stages, and not yet ready for production."

Just for others who are evaluating it as an option.


I use Android so that's the only thing I actually used. I falsely assumed iOS was in a similar place.

Anecdotally, myself and several others can no longer connect to Flatpak, and downdetector shows an increasing report count.


In both cases you pay for the energy used, it's just that there are many more steps to get that energy to your watch!


I went on a ferry ride with a friend who is a welder by trade and they spent a full hour examining the railings and critiquing the welding. It was pretty interesting.


What are you using as your temperature sensors, if you don't mind?


You'll laugh, but:

I'm using a Zigbee button from Samjin/Samsung/whoever-that-was which reads temperature, my Nest thermostat (via a convoluted-but-supported path to a remote API), and a couple of Amazon Echo Dot speakers (the integration of which is cursed, but it's easy to set up and usually works).

I was going to try to score some cheap BLE temperature sensors and use the Shelly relay as a gateway to bring those into HA (yeah, it does that too), but then the big mystery ball of tariffs happened and I lost track of that idea.


Not the GP, but any supported BLE sensor [0] with a Bluetooth proxy ESPHome node should work.

Unfortunately they did close that loophole recently. :(


Ah that’s a shame. Amazon is unfortunately one of the most comprehensive ebook catalogues I have found.


I imagine the curators did this to entertain themselves. I thought it was a great juxtaposition when I visited.


oh, totally

what i intended to point out was that regrettably few people actually pay any attention to the nozze di cana despite it being both more accessible physically and worthy of interest


The wobble actually factors onto my device choice as well. It's just annoying to live with for the life of the phone if you can't find a case that widens it, which many don't.


Casetify makes decent cases that make the super annoying bump less annoying. My iPhone 13 Pro's bump is now more like 1mm, effectively.


To be fair, in the case of Steam they legitimately did try. They supported bitcoin purchases for nearly two years before they stopped, citing volatility and processing fees:

I wouldn't call using Bitcoin legitimately trying. Even in 2017 Monero existed, which solves both the fee and transaction time problems, and as an added bonus is way more private.


At the cost of increased input latency and (frequently) graphical artifacts around any moving object.

It is a very cool tool, but not a silver bullet, just for context.
