Devices set me free (the gadgets thread)

[washing machine]

Hey ruddo remember when your non apple phone never works. Cool

Nah that was just a simple setting on my end that I was too dumb to figure out. If I remember correctly, when we first started our texting group, you apple users had to change a setting too. We'll call this one a wash. Nice try though.

Tell 'em, ruddo.

"Clout is the values-free currency of the always-online age — both a substitute for hard cash as well as a conduit to it. Clout is a calculus not of what you do, but of how much bulk you-ness there is in the world. You get clout by playing the victim. You get clout by victimizing others. This is something that is understood by the left and the right. If influence sways, clout squats, taking up space for its own sake."

I got a projector and big roll-down screen to watch movies out on the deck for my birthday.

I've only experienced significant lag during playback when I'm editing something that is linked to an active AfterEffects composition, or when I'm messing with Motion Graphics templates. I think the renders are saved in the preview folder location within the main project folder but tbh I haven't worked on this computer long enough to figure out where they go or if they're automatically purged. Your question about sequences will probably vary from individual to individual and project to project. For me, it's very common that I'll have a bunch of smaller sequences that I then assemble on a larger "mother" sequence. But sometimes I just use the single giant sequence... really depends on the project's specifications. What I've never done is create a whole new project just to bring together sequences. It's always a new sequence within the same project.

This guy sequences.

Bought a Pixel 4a, which will be released later this month (was originally supposed to come out in the Spring).

I've decided the only thing I care about with a phone is the camera, OS, and form factor. $350 is a good price to replace my 3.5 year OG Pixel.

Ooo, I could use and new phone that doesn't cost a fortune. Thank M_D

I downloaded an app for our router. Figured I could control what stuff is using my internet connection. Basically, kick the kids off at will.

It doesn't automatically determine what device I'm looking at, so I have to match the mac addresses for at least 34 different wireless devices in my house!

34 devices?!

5 Lights
3 thermostats
Nest Doorbell
3 Kindles
3 Tablets
4 Laptops

... y'know what. I'm embarrassingly privileged. Nevermind.

We do this too. It's great for giving priority to my work computer as well as hers, and the kids devices get the lowest priority

Lots of houses here in the south have separate ac units for different areas of the house. We also have three. Upstairs, downstairs, and a small one for the loft over the garage. I guess it's more efficient? Until they all break at once

I don’t understand why you’re downloading apps for this. You should already be able to prioritize devices by linking to your router’s IP address, and going to the QoS tab.

Out router came with an app that is phone-display user friendly, rather than a "web page" to open in a browser. I assume that's what B is referring to as well

Ah, i didn't even realize I could do it on the laptop. Looks pretty much the same though.

I'd like to have the control on my phone.
