Dude. Brother was founded in 1908.

Why would they? What advantage do they gain from doing so, compared to not?

Show me a professional competitive gamer who plays with a controller. I’ll wait.

Dude with a boom mic looking bored as hell.

I mean I can share pics, but it’s a fairly run of the mill Victorian terrace. 11 foot ceilings and a picture rail in the lounge which is nice. A few of the original features remain. Compared to a lot of the houses in the Georgian market town I live in, mine is positively new.

My house. Built in the 1840s.

Yorkshire Gold, a drop of milk 1 sugar, and a hobnob.

Quite the ego you have there, I bet you’re fun at parties.

Projects fail when developers alienate their contributors. Grow up and act like an adult.

All of my wall sockets include usb power outlets, so they’re all powered via those, I’m currently working on using an 18650 or 2 to power one as an experiment, but as they’re WiFi and need to react in a timely manner putting the microcontroller into sleep mode isn’t really an option, meaning the battery life won’t be very good. The RADAR module needs a solid 5v as well so I’m not sure it will be practical.

This is the sensor module: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005921080708.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.496af19cSQkowI

This is the microcontroller: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006018009983.html

This is the project on GitHub I use for the HA integration: https://github.com/Chreece/LD2411S-ESPHome

And the case I use is on this project for a very similar setup to mine: https://github.com/igiannakas/mmWave-Presense-Sensor-D1-Mini-DFRobot-/tree/main

I build my own using EspHome. I tend to use a D1 Mini as the microcontroller as it has a small footprint and a LD2411S sensor module (very cheap on AliExpress ) I’m lucky enough to have a 3d printer to make my own enclosures.

I moved all of my movement/presence sensors to mm wave RADAR, they’re relatively cheap and much more reliable than PIR.

Teenager is too cool for it, so the wife and I are hiding upstairs and eating all the sweets.

Case insensitive file systems are a really stupid idea. Especially if you’ve ever written code to handle files and then had Windows screw you over.

If you’re investing in a car, you’re either obnoxiously rich or don’t know what the word investing means.

Reminds me of when I tried to make fizzy milk in the Sodastream. Do not do this.

As much as I respect your right to this opinion, I wholeheartedly disagree. I do not need multiple flavours confusing my palette. Lemonade all the way.

Teenaged daughter got a job at my local, so now I can’t drink as much without getting into trouble.

ADHD wife developed a new obsession with sorting out the spare room, which is nice.

I found out I have to have surgery.

Been a weird week.
