My neighbors smoke detector seems to have a malfunction, keeps beeping every few minutes... Would really like to get some sleep, just past midnight here.

We have sound pollution laws in much of the US to protect against that. If you can't sleep from that, we get to call the police.

It is not the house alarm he is referring to, it is the smoke detector random beeps of low batteries.

Probably

Apt walls must be thin.

Germany: Bricks/concrete and insulation, generally 24cm to 30cm+ thick here

If it is an apartment, call maintenance and have them go replace the batteries for your neighboor.

It's on the other side of the street, not the same house.

Open windows??

But honestly, you can still hear that with all windows closed. Those detectors are damn loud

Let it shine

That thing is crazy!

No monsters in your kids room with this thing.

Lunch with @Texkonc

What no pictures? You always post pictures of food!

No pictures of food until someone solves my DFS problem

Lesson learned: Unpacking 20 Pi 3 + 7" Displays + tons of great little PCBs (sensors / actors) + accessories results in a back that hurts pretty bad

But oh so much joy out of said box!

Hehe, that was way more than one single box. More like 8 or 9 mid sized boxes.

It's - erm - on the way, but chances are you are suffering from this problem.

TBH: Unpacking was ok and quite some fun, but booting all Pi's to get the serials for our asset management was a PITA (for my trainee).

BTW: Does anyone know if there is any kind of serial number for the displays? I've found something on the right side on the back of the display, but it turned out to be some kind of a production or date code. Got at least 3x2 displays with the same code.

Just noticed your new avatar: apt on Gentoo? Really? No love for portage?

@BRRABill Sorry watching TV at the same time (and it's already 10:20PM here)

I thought you search for a list of our reseller with a map with everyone of them

We are based in France, in Grenoble.

Oh, neighbors

Or BL2 / The Dust -> Copter Camp

Weekend, finally. Has been a very long week. Or more like a couple of long weeks.

Just noticed that my heavily customized Pi image won't boot on a Pi 3. Could be a great opportunity to create a new one based on Ubuntu Mate.

Trying to figure out why the f*ck my wife's Android based ebook reader (rebranded Boyue T62+) can't see wifi networks anymore.

Hardware looks good so far, my first thought was a disconnected antenna:

Stopped working just a few hours ago, without any firmware update or changes to my wifi.

I'm all for a Kung Pow sequel... I love campy, cheesy movies.
