AT&T wireless customer service was VERY good today on the phone. I know most people just complain so I thought it would be good to balance that out.

@stats_feed Guess I don't have to watch now. I should learn to stay off social media during race weekends till I watch. #spoilers

The latest Home Assistant update has a great quality-of-life improvement: a setup wizard, along with better navigation for your Cloud features. We want you to get the most out of Cloud; it's our thanks for your amazing support. https://t.co/rbK5URav6n

@ionos_help_US Why do I have to call you to cancel a contract(server instance)? Seems antiquated in today's world. Waste of time. Show stopper for using your service in the future.

First newsletter sent. 🚀

I’m genuinely proud of that one.

Not because it is perfect, but because I actually shipped it.

If it landed in your inbox, I’d love to hear what you think.

Now I’m going to pretend I’m calm and normal about this.

@CordCuttersNews I wish my creator ad revenue had increased that much. Seems to continue to go down over time as the algorithm does its thing.

@geerlingguy What about DRM? OTA is going to die if widespread DRM is rolled out. My ABC station did that right after I bought the HDHomerun that does ATSC 3.0. Can no longer receive them OTA.

@geerlingguy Another rabbit hole for you maybe... Or an addition to your vast knowledge of time.

@geerlingguy A practical application of network timing in a super critical environement. https://t.co/WHUijTfeLI

[Franck Nijhof | Home Assistant & Smart Home @Frenck]

Templating has felt like homework for too long in @home_assistant 😅

I reworked the docs with one goal: make them more approachable. Every function has its own page now, with real examples and a searchable error index.

@Frenck @odidonederland @Ubiquiti It's the S4 solar storm. 😂

[Chris @mostlychris2]

@troyhunt I got one too.

@geerlingguy @claymo61 Mine sticks with following. I had to change toe order to recent though last week. It's stayed since. Drop down on following to change sort.

[Chris @mostlychris2]

@Frenck Nice tour video also.
