Yeah but until two months ago Spotify was 24kbps

I wonder why Spotify and not YouTube Music, Tidal or Apple Music all of which are higher quality.

Yeah that’s probably the simplest way!

Helpful! Thank you I will look into it.

Weird, I don’t have a new AI sidebar and I’m running the latest version.

If they don’t have power, they drop from the network or mesh.

That’s the problem, they don’t drop, the entity remains in a zombie state. Is there really no way to test if a device is still connected or not?

EDIT: Or just manually set an entity to “off”?

Well you’re in luck because the translation feature is local https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation

Don’t get me wrong I hate LLMs being shoved down our throats, but I think the “Mozilla using AI” stuff is overblown. The few LLM features they’ve implemented are useful and non-intrusive. I actually think it’s a rare example of the tech being used intelligently (no pun intended).

100% Also, y’know Ellen, or Will & Grace…

Move over FeRAM

Honestly I was upset when they announced the “pivot to AI”, but Mozilla is the only company I’ve seen actually using LLM tech in a productive, helpful way. The link preview feature is nice too.

The right tool for the right job… LLMs can’t do a lot, and can make a lot of things worse when misapplied, but that doesn’t mean the technology is wholly useless.

This only applies if you use their bridge and the bridge is connected to the internet. If you do what I said in my comment (zigbee2mqtt addon with dongle) then there is no path for them to collect. The Zigbee2Mqtt addon allows for firmware updates.

I found that Phillips Hue bulbs works great with the Zigbee2Mqtt addon (and poorly/not at all with ZHA integration) and the $25 Sonoff dongle. Home Assistant sells their own dongle which I would imagine works even better too.

Hue bulbs are more expensive than most, but people seem to say they have the best color consistency.

If you want to stick with Wifi you could probably just hook up Tasmota plugs to your existing lamps.

Great read, I was unfamiliar with this publication. Thanks for sharing.

A nas or home server with one of them is a great idea

Lissen is my favorite audiobook player

I like that unlike Chrome, Firefox mobile can use all the extensions.

I love that they changed their name to show how serious they were about the metaverse being the future of tech and it never even came close to being a thing.

CasaOS or YunoHost are great places to start and hold your hand the whole way, while allowing you to tip toe into more advanced setups later on as you learn.
