I think it's mostly to do with their advertising tactics and misleading people in what their service is actually doing.

They also had a data breach and did not handle it well.

Maybe there's other stuff I don't remember.. I've never used them, I've been on Mullvad for some years now but considering proton next.

I've got a pineapple habanero cider in its last week before I bottle it right now.

Used apple juice as the base for primary, infused habanero into pineapple juice and added into secondary fermentation. It's pretty spicy, I'm going to back sweeten with pineapple concentrate I think and then pasteurize.

The lights we have definitely require the app and an account to get them to do anything other than solid white.

Thanks I will look into those products as well as Home Assistant. I've yet to pull the trigger on installing HA, I don't have a lot of devices that have made me want to use it yet. We only have a couple Google speakers and Chromecasts.

Apparently it's to detect nearby devices so that you don't have to pair the traditional way.

The other thing that bothers me about these lights is they have a built in microphone that listens for music playing and can adjust the lights to match the music. I haven't looked myself but some users on Reddit have posted about the amount of network activity with Govee cloud and Google Analytics being very high.

If I can isolate them from accessing the internet and connect through Home Assistant locally then I may keep them.. These are sort of a trial run for future permanent Christmas/Occasion lights on the outside of the house.

 

My wife bought some Govee Smart LED string lights. We have VLANs setup in our house to isolate IoT devices and setup the new lights on that WiFi. But when we use the app to control them it requires an account and precise and "while using app" location data. The app does not work at all without enabling permissions for location.

Am I being paranoid? This wasn't an initial setup thing the app is unusable without location enabled.

She really wants smart LED lights for outside the house. Is there an option anyone knows of that might be a bit more privacy oriented?

Thanks.

You can actually start collecting CPP at 60 and OAS at 65.

Typically they still have performance issues though? I haven't played on consoles since Xbox 360, other than the odd Nintendo game. I spent thousands of dollars on 360 and PS3 games and hardware and have none of it now. But my entire PC library is still playable.

This was my first time using them and just their clear finish. It was actually my first time clear coating anything so I don't have much of an opinion but it seemed to go on easy, very minimal brush strokes left behind but the ones I can see are likely due to my lack of experience.

Yeah the joint just didn't get as tight as I would've liked in a couple spots. But after planing and sanding, staining and varathane it's not really noticeable.

I do plan on doing a top rail so we can hang things off as decoration. It's extremely solid though as is.

My first time building any sort of furniture. I'm a journeyman redseal carpenter in Canada and spent my career building houses for 15 years and recently started a new job where I have access to a shop and some better tools.

 

I currently use an Ubuntu distro (Mint) with Plex installed serving media to my local network. I installed docker last night so I can test out some photo hosting services.

Is there a benefit to running Plex through docker vs the traditional method?
