What's up with every iOS app spamming ads via notifications lately, @Apple ? I thought that was against some rules. That renders the whole notification system borderline unusable. So pissed rn. 😡😡

EU Data Act durchsetzen: Autohersteller müssen uns Zugang zu unseren Fahrzeugdaten geben! - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/JpxuEwYQVy via @Change /cc @VWGroup

[netmikey @netmikey]

@VWGroup Just killed the free API for querying vehicle data. This kills the VW Home Assistant integration, which makes my experience with the car a lot worse. My car, my data. Holding data hostage or behind a paywall should be illegal.

@BlizzardCSEU_EN 1. When I forget my password and am logged out of my authenticator, it doesn't make sense to ask me for an authenticator code to login to my authenticator. 2. Your SMS 2FA is broken (see pic). Plz help!

Bought a hardware key. Now I wanna add Passkeys wherever supported. While demo pages like https://t.co/1ENeKOnRN7 work (click "Other Options" link and chose the hardware key option), X and others somehow do not have macOS include "Other Options" in the Passkey creation dialog. Y?

So CES happened, #RobotVacuum manufacturers still aren't quite there yet IMHO. For reference, here's my must-have checklist:

- Auto-Empty Dock, NO BAGS
- Dock connected to fresh and waste water lines (fully automatic)
- Kick-ass anti-hair-tangling brushes

Now go and make one!

@KBC_BE Alternatively, you could file a bug report internally instead of me having to fight my way to the appropriate team?

[netmikey @netmikey]

Hey, @KBC_BE, what if I dont want to be manipulated into using KBC stuff I dont need by gamification: how can I turn OFF and hide anything KateCoin in my Banking App (you know, one of the least Apps I want distraction in)?

[netmikey @netmikey]

@KBC_BE That’s what I would expect, but that menu only shows my bank accounts, not KCoin.

[netmikey @netmikey]

@KBC_BE Well, it seems like you dont know your own app then, you should take a look at it!

I can add and remove any of my bank accounts to/from the favorites bar but the KCoins are always there! That’s precisely what’s bothering me: it used to be that I can chose what I want to see.

[netmikey @netmikey]

@KBC_BE Awesome! Now let me remove it from the favorites bar and we’re good.
Also while we’re at it: bad naming. Ppl are asking me (it guy) what is up with the bitcoin stuff in their banking app. (Any)coin sounds shady these days.

[netmikey @netmikey]

@KBC_BE So you decide what I find interesting and relevant now? Taking away the possibility to remove that bloat, forcing it down our throats is infuriating. If there’s a (secret?) way to remove it, feel free to share it with all of us publicly.

@VessiFootwear Wondering if https://t.co/1cjTeHTRzh and https://t.co/7tg7oerDkV are legit? If so: why 2 distinct sites? Why no linking from https://t.co/lAg8sczbwY? Why not in all Belgian languages (FR/DE) or even EN? why no ToS or imprint? Why some sketchy designs (eg contact)?

@Behringer In a Wing-Rack? If I get the same lvl of compactness as the X32-Rack (= not more than 3U!, 16 physical inputs are enough, use SD8/S16/... for more) with the Wing Engine and a kick-ass iPad App, this is an instant-buy!

01/2023: Bookmarking a new @Netflix show that seems interesting. 06/2023: Finally getting around to watching it. Enjoying it very much! 07/2023: After finishing S.01, learning that it was cancelled in 05/2023. The cancel rate @Netflix is getting ridiculous! 😡 #SaveLockwoodandCo

@Danone_Be Soooo… did I win something? 😂

[netmikey @netmikey]

@bdraco In this month's #HomeAssistant release party, you guys were talking about how sensor data is being aggregated and basically kept forever. My KNX temp sensors don't do that (no aggregation, nothing kept for longer than the default 10 days). What am I missing?

[netmikey @netmikey]

@KBC_BE @kbc_group May I kindly ask you to improve #KBCMobile’s #accessibility: the font size doesn’t follow iOS system settings so the app is unusable for people with visual impairment (without constantly zooming) 😟

[netmikey @netmikey]

So for today's change-your-password day, I'd like to reiterate my must-have criteria for an acceptable password manager:

- Free and **completely** Open Source (audited would be 😍)
- Self-Hosted (or at least self-hostable)
- Multi-Platform
