I’ve been talking about smart TVs with other people recently and we all came to the same conclusion: smart TVs may spy on us (like our smartphones do). The thumbnail on the side shows the actual microphone that is soldered onto the main circuit board of my remote control; it is no longer than 4 mm.
I’m totally done with Netatmo at this point and I am more than happy to show you my new setup at my home. I’ll start with a WS69 (all-in-one) sensor and the Gateway GW1100. Combined with WeeWX we will publish our data to some online weather networks/services.
I am subscribed to a few mailing lists and I stumbled across
a big video file in one of them recently. Here is a small command-line
command using ffmpeg that cut its filesize in half.
