I once did that with a Samsung powerbank I have. Daisy chained the powerbank to charge itself and a phone in sequence.

The only thing that failed afterwards was one of the cables, but suffering a loss was definitely the reason I didn't attempt to do that again.

Yup, that's my hit of nostalgia for the day taken care of

Web Video Caster can cast to a large number of devices, Chromecast included. It has a lot of companion apps too on several smart TV platforms, all for the sake of getting your media played back on another device.

Yes, that would do the trick

You'd have to rewrite the history as to never having committed those files in the first place, yes.

And then politely ask all your coworkers to reset their working environments to the "new" head of the branch, same as the old head but not quite.

Chaos ensues. Sirens in the distance wailing.

It really hadn't rolled out across the globe yet, so no, it wasn't even really released before getting pulled.

Well, I did mention the Hue bridge so I've got Zigbee around the house (as well as some other Tuya wifi devices).

I'm currently in the process of converting to an additive setup so my wife and I don't need a smartphone to do smart home stuff. I think I can work with the info, thanks a lot.

I've come across Shelly relays as well, they seem like a viable option to me. I'd probably prefer a separated network like Zigbee, but that should be doable. Thanks!

I'm looking for a smart home solution use two switches in my living room (EU), in order to make them just smart enough so I can control some devices. The setup isn't very complex in itself, and I'm pretty sure it's doable - I'm just unsure what I'd need in order to use these switches in a 'smart' capacity...

This is what I had in mind:

  • On-off switch, connected to a single light with three Hue filament bulbs. I'd like this one to always be powered, as to make them always controllable
  • On-off switch, which should be connected to a light which isn't in use at all. Once this one is 'smart', I could control all other smart devices in the living room like a 'turn off everything'-button.

I have a Hue bridge and a Home Assistant instance running in my home.

With regards to wife-approval-factor, I'd rather leave the original switches in place, but I'm open to suggestions. I hope one of you can steer me in the right direction.

Edit: if this isn't the right community for the question, I'd understand, but I wasn't sure where to put it otherwise... I'd be open to suggestions to that too.

No - it should remain in your library.

Sounds like there's a step missing somewhere.

You should probably use a downloader such as NZBget or SABnzbd to download the whole collection of .rar archives (if it's archived at all) and .par2 files associated with it. You'd download an NZB file for which content you wish to have, which is a simple file that tells the downloader how to download everything, fix them up when necessary and to repair the files, to finally extract a usable file for you.

That output is something Readarr should be able to use, like an epub.

The irony in this? They have just announced this very subscription plan in Germany. Not even a week after axing the plan in some neighbouring countries.

I've been using the More Purple More Better (MPMB) character sheet in combination with Adobe Reader on my Windows pc. It isn't exactly an application replacing your char sheet, but an interactive PDF file reliant on JavaScript. It has a common recognizable layout, and is filled to the brim with macros and generation tools - you'll be able to whip up a char sheet in no time once you get the hang of it.

Out of the box it only has PHB content, but you can add additional scripts containing every bit of official content for 5e. It isn't very hard to find, either, /r/MPMB for example.
