That has been on my radar for a while. I haven’t checked it out recently. I’m sure YNAB4 will die sometime in the future, but I’m going to milk it out to the end :). There’s already a hack for android (for dropbox syncing) and hoops to jump through to get it working in MacOs. It’s just a matter of time before the house of cards falls apart.

There are a few pieces of software I use (regularly) that would continue to get money from me if they followed the old model of paying for major versions. (pay for v1, get v 1.1-1.9) with v2 being the next “big” update that you’d have to pay an upgrade fee (smaller than a new purchase) to continue on the train.

But they switched to subscription model, and lost me as an “active” customer.

YNAB is the big one I use at least weekly, sometimes daily. I am on YNAB4 until it will no longer function because I’m not paying them a monthly fee to use that product. I would have GLADLY paid for major updates/changes even if it equaled the subscription in the end. But each of those purchases would be a decision I made on whether the change had enough value for me.

Subscriptions allow them to not strive for large enough improvements to warrant a version update / upgrade fee. They just run along with little or no useful changes (IMHO).

in BI, for each camera I have the following set under settings/alerts/on alerts

Didn’t get home til late last night… Looking at my automation. If you’ve successfully connected (via mqtt) and validated in explorer. my automation to trigger a notification on motion is quite simple.

I get alerts from BI Motion in HA (via mqtt)… I’ll look at it a bit to jog my memory and see if I can give any tips. It’ll likely be tomorrow or so as I’m traveling today

Its crazy how much further ahead Europe is in Privacy Protection.

All these companies need to be held responsible for what they do with our data, and what it costs them when they lose control of it. Either figure out how to safe guard it or suffer painful consequences. Or perhaps only store what’s necessary for us to interact.

Ya, a PR nightmare for the next 15 minutes until the next unbelievable thing comes along and the ADD nature of people forgets windows is watching everything they do.

I just ‘deactivate’ people that share news on facebook. I use FB to give my family (who don’t live near me) and friends a small slice of what’s going on in my world. I don’t post daily/weekly but I only post stuff I create. I also use it for groups/market place since most forums went to FB groups.

I expect the same from my connections, and unfollow anyone that just forwards things (news, memes, other posts). This little bit of management has made my FB feed ‘ok’

Did it this last cycle. Didn’t renew, don’t miss it. In fact the announcement of adding more ads into the video service I didn’t want, but had to pay for to get prime lead to me just leaving.

Disabling autocorrect showcased how bad I am at phone typing. But I have to be very mindful of what is actually corrected and corrected to. Especially in sms where there’s no easy edit

It was totally to give you content to share today on Lemmy /s

I have wondered for a while if both the predictive and spelling ‘help’ these keyboard provide are getting broken because they’re integrating “what most people do” to your phone.

autocorrect is like downright scary now. you have to double, triple check what you typed is what WAS typed.

Well humans are making them. Vine and other early adopter places (Lemmy) are nice until the “masses” find it.

It’s awful, but people eat it up. Add in profit margins and companies jump on smelling that sweet sweet profit.

Tik Tok is blocked in my house but unfortunately reels/yt shorts have no easy way to block without affecting the rest of the service.

I no longer have to daily drive mine so as I said I hope it lasts a LONG time!

Makes me glad my, going on 17 year old Toyota will likely run forever and is as dumb as a box of rocks regarding this stuff.

This is great news and just absolutely amazing what NASA has achieved here. Keep going Voyager(s)!!!

Or GrayJay for Android

why is incognito transmitting anything to anyone. Glad I switched to FF a while back.

I made flat head bolts out of pteg for solar panel mounted to my sailboat and while towing it to the lake they ripped out :( (and I lost the panel)

I made the bolt head like a flat washer so I could glue it to the boat then set the panel on it and secured it with a pteg nut.

I specifically looked at the available specs at the local auto parts stores and couldn’t find Ah details. This was about 2y ago, so maybe this value is becoming more commonplace. I know in the RV/Sailing works Ah is used pretty exclusively. My deep cycle AGM only lists CCA and reserve capacity

Good catch… It was early and I was on my phone (my excuses) :)
