There was one of those on the AirBNB in Austin last year.. it was night until it didn't work the last day. I had no key I had to call the super.

@Dashrender said in Schlage Sense Smart Lock:

Nope, the super said they had problems before. She had to come use the use to get me in.

Hey @Dashrender is your non windows phone too hard to use?

now who's posting pointless comments 🙂

ah, but ribbing you is never pointless!

@scottalanmiller I thought that might be the case 😉

Looking at my flight info for spiceworld, I see that I'll be in town in time to make Sunday brunch. Where are the best brunch spots around Austin?

What hotel are you staying at? We have a standard brunch spot that we go to on Monday. So avoid that as we will be there the next day.

I'm in an Air BnB apartment east of the convention. But my plane lands at 11:20 am, so I got brunch on the brain. Where is the Monday spot?

I can never remember the name, but it is right in front of the Hyatt.

Max's Wine Bar - Chicken and Waffles!!!

I'm all about some good chicken and waffles. A Dirty South specialty.

Thanks, Nic! Hello all. Appreciate the warm welcome.

You're very welcome around here! @Nic used to send us all bottles of single malt scotch! In another thread he said that budget has only gone up and you'll be a popular man around here.

And he never sent us that 12 year old crap, only 30+ years! Nic knew how to get people drunk.

Scholar and a gentleman that @Nic. Proper generous with the liquid bribery.

$400 seems steep to me

Yeah, considering that it sounds like a TV with a built-in chromecast and window trim for an edge!

I heard from others that you get a first class experience on either PS4 or the Amazon Fire TV.

I purchased one today.

So far it's significantly better! There is a menu schedule, much like typical cable. Search leaves a lot to be desired, picking one letter at a time, not great. But so far much more user friendly than on the Roku.

@JaredBusch We keep the lids down.

As a single guy with no kids, I literally can't even.

I have a 65 Pound Pitbill and she would drink the toilet water if I didn't.. I don't care to get any licks after that so it stays down.

Good info, thanks. Made the change.

There are sounds now also.

Always were, they just turned on by default now.

Oh I always got errors about it.

Yeah but really it's likely not the device. It's USB-C quick Charing and people using Chinese cables and chargers. With USB-C the protection is built into the cable. These a much higher amp charging that normal.

I have one on order to try with my home automation software -- right now we use followmee.com on the phones but this would be better from a cell phone battery standpoint. Also plan to use https://amzn.com/B00EECXAY8 to extend the OBD port to hide the tracker better.

Might have found it. Testing....

Threw me for a loop - I read the title of the thread and thought of http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capital.asp

And college degrees prepare you for this work perfectly!

@IRJ not that amazing. What is really amazing is that South Korean cigarettes aren't brighter than North Korea.

You've been banned from /r/pingpong

Cute. Very well done.

Especially on a small scale, that's pretty cool.

Yes, for a "farm" it is totally useless. But for a home garden this is so perfect. It's the right size for a home garden and it handles mixed plants as easily as doing all the same one so perfect for the variety that single families need. An amazing opportunity around growing your own food. It would work really well for people who want fresh veggies for their own consumption. It's an automated system that matches how they farm in Romania, everyone with a tiny plot of their own.

$3k is such a steep hurdle to care for such a small garden. You would almost never recoup your food cost. I'd like to see something like this for about a third of the price. I understand that probably isn't feasible right now in terms of cost and technology, but it would be hard to see any monetary gain at $3k.

Yeah. Like I said before, we'll see this sort of system put on a truck or tractor arrangement of some sort. Add on the auto driving things they have on the newest tractors, and you've got an automated system that can tend to hundreds/thousands of acres without the current need for keeping entire fields being the same crop. Don't even need a driver, just a manager/mechanic.

You would need a separate mechanism for harvesting large quantities, though.

Not all that difficult to do. Most types of crops have some sort of automated harvesting mechanism available (weather it's currently in use over super cheap human labor or not.)

We're talking about mixed stuff, not a field of one plant type.

I realize that 😉 A harvesting bot isn't that difficult to do compared to a planting/watering bot.

True, but I highly doubt it could be nearly efficient enough for large-scale farming. A bot that can adapt to harvesting multiple crops and still keep up with a combine taking down a single crop? I don't see that as feasible.

For the insane scale farms generally operating today, sure. For the small (400-800 acres of crops) farms it'd be ideal.

I still don't think the numbers would come even close, but it's all hypothetical anyway. 🙂 We'll have to find out the long way.

I agree. It would take a long time to recoup the initial investment. Labor and machines like tractors are much more affordable for small farms.

@henriette said in Camera for travel:

You are planning to travel every year to new destinations and you have not any Camera except Mobile camera, this is very shocking for me. You have to buy any Point and shoot camera.

For deciding which point and shoot camera is good for you, I would like to share one article with you. Here is article link http://www.gadgetreview.com/best-point-and-shoot-digital-camera Using this review article you can easily decide which point and shoot camera is the best for your use.

According to me you should not buy drone because of Drone is very expensive and most of the countries are not allowing you to to use drone as you already said.

One option is there, when you need drone, you can hire it on rent. This is the best option for you.

Thanks for sharing the link. I am about to start travelling to different destinations from this year, so till that time the phone camera was sufficient, and i already got the camera, Canon SX60.
