I’m all in on ZigBee and z-wave. The bulb is isolated, don’t even know my app login.

Do you mind sharing what ZigBee lightbulbs you recommend?

Will do. It’s part of a long list.

Don’t know my ADHD will hyper focus on it tho haha

Expected since TP-Link stopped updating them shortly after release.

No doubt.

It’s on it’s own VLAN from the beginning. Wanted to poke around but never got to it.

I still have it connected, want to use for practice.

No idea. Could be encryption or to protect telecom companies interests, WiFi calling means bundles need to change.

Most providers are government owned.

Edit: WhatsApp calling is still blocked in the GCC. Users there mostly use Snapchat as an alternative.

I remember that there was an identifier based on model number. FaceTime wasn’t allowed in the Middle East for a while, there was a way to tell if the model will support it based on the last character after the / in the model number. Middle East models won’t even have the app at all.

Propably they’ll do the same for models sold in the EU.

There are already hardware variants of the same iPhone. I think the US gets an iPhone with all eSIM, and China has two physical SIM slots.

I’ve never known a such thing exists, thank you so much for sharing it. Gonna test it out this weekend.

Thank you for the detailed reply, you got me excited to spin a VM with Fedora Silver Blue and break it

Sold!

Can I get a recipet please?

Thank you, all great points and I’m gonna go with Debian and xfce as DE to keep light.

Tbh when I was thinking of the title that’s what came to mind, sorry for being clickbaity haha. Immutable OS’s have been on my radar for a while I just need to be a bit confident in using them before going live.

Yeah, but the software is self hosted and accesed via browser. I think I’m going with everyone’s recommendations and going Debian.

Luckily no. Only a barcode reader and a receipt printer.

That’s really not bad at all. I kinda want to connect it to a dock, set up everything then start using it. I even planned adding all of my bash scripts to use it to troubleshoot on the go. Thank you, you got me excited for it again.

What do you think of Librem 5? I got mine a month ago, but don’t have the time to explore it yet. First things I noticed is that it gets really hot, and the battery doesn’t last that long.
