Thanks, I’ll check them out. I’ve heard mint a few times as a good beginner distro. I’ll probably dual boot my PC on whatever I am gonna recommend him for a bit so I get my bearings and can support him a bit :)

No it doesn’t, but my 75yo dad has been asking/thinking about switching when Windows 10 eol.

Most of my Linux/Unix experience is at the server level.

What distro did you get them on?

The pay bill button on my capital one CC account doesn’t work on Firefox. Once a month I have to use a chromium based browser.

Well, early days, but after doing a full backup I went with the update and this appears to be doing ok so far. My recorder is working, my history and energy dashboard still exist unlike any of the .7 releases.

This allowed me to upgrade Alarmo (which had a dependency above .6) and fixes a disarm bug.

Hoping HA for me is back fully functional!

I’m sure if you used the kiosk often you could learn it. I struggled to just order a 1/4 pounder meal. It wasn’t showing me combos.

But i don’t have any desire to learn it or visit McDonald’s :)

Wife mentioned it today at work and it appears “that” McD’s is notorious for being awful. Again, I’m McD’s expert but the story on here about profits down last quarter was just odd timing for me ending up at one. So ijad my own opinion as to why there may be more issues!

Haha

Appreciate the comment! That said, I’m not looking to find ways to better my McDonald’s experience here :)

I just need to build that time since I was at McDonald’s back up. I wanted to vent after seeing the story about price likely causing their 1/4 results. I think there’s more to it.

It appears they close at midnight, and we got there just before 9pm

I just looked to confirm. They close at midnight and it was just before 9pm.

I didn’t but everyone else thought it made sense. I’d have rather gone home and eaten a sandwich

I have a Pixel 8 pro (with stock OS) and use Shelter to isolate my work apps. I have not had any issues. Super nice being able to just pause the whole suite of apps when I’m on PTO / away and don’t want to be bothered.

Well, in all fairness all food prices have gone up, and 4 of us cannot eat for $40 at a non fast food joint.

I am not surprised the service outside the US is better where labor laws are likely also better.

Not that I was there to begin with, but they 100% will push my parents out of there as they do not want to deal with them. I would think their primary long term customers were boomers, and they’re gonna reject Kiosks.

Ya, same. I think I may have gotten a burger one time when I took my kid (now 14) in there for some ice cream 7-8 years ago. Then unfortunately twice this year. But I’m going to go back to normal of actively avoiding the place

One of the many reasons I dropped Prime in January when my annual subscription ran out. I now avoid amazon where possible, or for certain things I’ll group them up until I have enough items to get free shipping and order that way.

No prime day garbage No more “oh, let me order this thing I don’t really need that will get here in a few hours”

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
