If you were waiting for more stock from Seeed, they're restocked! ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ (Other distributors are gaining more stock from the end of this week through the rest of this month, too - keep an eye out!)

Snow. In Georgia. I miss Colorado during days like this. Because in Colorado I didn't have people taking out my mailbox and needing to be dug out of my front yard. ๐Ÿ™„ Guess I will be heading to the hardware store.

Don't forget! It's #homeassistant release party Wednesday But on a Friday.

As a content creator myself, this is insane for a multitude of reasons. Also reinforces my decision to say no to paid ads. I also don't see a way to avoid this type of stuff unless the monetize content changes.

One of the things I like about the Fediverse... apps like Openvibe make it easy to see all my accounts in one app.

This is a good suggestion!

New video dropped today! youtu.be/NU1mo1aElmU

Is it just me... Or is the #homeassistant scripts ui broken? I start creating a new script. Switch it to edit in yaml. Paste in my yaml i have. Click edit in visual editor. And my yaml is gone! Go back to yaml mode and yep. Gone. It's got to just be me right?

DO IT! ๐Ÿ‘‡

New Slacker Labs video! I walk you through how to build a "last assistant" sensor so as soon as you trigger an HA voice assistant, #homeassistant will know which room you are in. Which means the command "turn off the lights" will already know which lights you mean. youtu.be/BWOP_9PSwEE

I feel like this week last 2 weeks... And I still haven't got to work on my video.

About 2 months ago I did something drastic. Switched from IPhone to a Android. Literally broke my relationships with my family cause everyone else is iphone. Things are pretty stable now. But I still can't type on this keyboard. The spacing is all weird. Haha.

Why is it that the videos I think will be short always turn out to be longer? Now I'm in to what I thought would be 5-8 min video and I'm just trying to get it closer to 20 than 30.
