@npub1pfe…e2dm I like all the things they show .. it will be great. But yeah please please please please make Siri more capable at the foundation .. it is unable to answer the most basic questions right now.

Well that clearly explains the crazy battery drain on this M1 Air that would otherwise last days without charging ...
The actual Python program running here is ... “mypy” … which is run by VSCode ... which doesn't actually run anymore.

I wish I could plug in a set of speakers into a HomePod mini. I have a nice set of 15 year old unused Harman Kardon SoundSticks which still work really well.
Is it still possible to create an AirPlay compatible receiver on Linux? I have a USB SoundBlaster and Raspberry PI in a drawer that would be perfect for this …

Can anyone recommend a Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet adapter for a MacBook Pro? Ideally one that also works in Linux.

@npub1p9k…865w this randomly started for me last week. “Siri Lights” would simply toggle but now it asks what to actually do. Annoying.

Anyone from 1Password here? I have frequent DNS issues with 1Password services. In this case cache.agilebits.com but also often with the `op` command that cannot resolve the API endpoint.

@npub1cw4…7e5q multiple composed in .. compose. Also means you can use standard containers for all those things you listed.

Hey radio nerds is SiriusXM two-way? I may have listened to their preview in my car and I am getting some spam from them. I wonder if it is two way and if they can receive telemetry.

@npub1yyx…qa5g @npub1em8…g250 The things they mention all seem pretty reasonable since they depend on integration with the store and purchase flow?

@npub1m9h…7spx I should play with that or just start writing a “op” replacement. All I want is put my finger on the TouchID sensor and have environment variables updated from item IDs to actual item values.

@npub1m9h…7spx Apple’s built in password management. Excellent for anyone who just deals with credentials on the web and in (iOS) apps. If it had something similar to “1Password CLI” then I would uninstall 1Password.

@npub1p9k…865w Review please :-) cc @npub1td4…q4cm who also asked about HomeKit buttons. Which started my quest for a hub-less button too.

I'm again really enjoying using Python for #AdventOfCode.
Like last year my approach is to convert the puzzle input to a high level model using modern #Python features like Data Classes, Enums and strict typing.
It is a bit more work that one-liners but I am not doing this for speed. Instead I want to be better at writing modern robust #Python code.

@npub1ysu…2jyl @npub1dkv…exrl it can’t be “there” if nobody is using it. The community at large needs to be able to hack and find the bugs and improve performance and all those good things that happen when you can run actual workloads on real hardware 🐧

@npub1dkv…exrl I will start believing it when regular folks can actually buy a raspberry pi shaped risc-v board to run Linux on. Until then nobody will really advance the ecosystem and do the hard work of compilers and kernels and all the plumbing.
