A lot of companies have tried to dodge their liability responsibilities by claiming it was an unrelated third party that is responsible.

The consumer still has a contractual relationship with the vendor, not the upstream provider.

The vendor is the one who should ensure their supply chain is safe, and can't demand a stupidly low price that gives no room for safe practices.

Don't get into stranger's cars, and don't give out your real name or number or address on the internet.

Now you do most of these things when you call an uber. 😅

Nitro Deck Plus and TCL NXTWear S XR (sh.itjust.works)

Very niche case use, and the only other related post I can find used a different pair of glasses.

Mine unfortunately can't just be plugged straight into the Nitro Deck+, but needs to have the included USB c to HDMI, then a powered HDMI to USB C adapter. It works fine (with audio) at that point.

The powered HDMI to USB C adapter I used was this one: https://amzn.asia/d/90FQYfo

I'm ordering a USB C splitter cable and hopefully that will reduce the number of cables needed.

Hope this helps anyone else who happened to have this specific issue. 😅

Opening Garage Door Options (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 4 months ago by Kanzar@sh.itjust.works to c/motorcycles@lemmy.world

I figure I might as well post some stuff to the Fediverse.

I have a Meross MSG100 to add "smart" connectivity to my otherwise dumb powered garage door. To my pleasant surprise, Meross can be hooked up to Samsung SmartThings, and you can set a routine for when you arrive within a certain radius of home (100m is the smallest), it can then open the garage door. It can even be set to note if you've been gone long enough (I have mine set to 10 minutes).

For more precise location detection, you have to do a little finangling to get it to be hooked up to the Modes and Routines app where you can then also set a location setting that includes connecting to your home wifi.

The finangling involves setting up a virtual switch in SmartThings (as garage door openers aren't "supported" by M&R, but a switch is), and having a routine in ST linking the switch's state to the garage door.

If you don't have ST Labs (only available in USA and KR), then you can make a virtual switch using Samsung's own web ui: https://my.smartthings.com/advanced/devices

Anyway, we tested it this afternoon and it worked fine.

For those without a Samsung phone, this will be a lot harder to set up (if not impossible).

My backup options were:

  1. Getting my Cardo set up (whenever it arrives) and yelling Hey Google open the garage door, waiting for it to go 'sure, what's your pin', and yelling that at it... from like two roundabouts away from home.
  2. Buying and installing a Riders Magic Touch
  3. Buying and installing a Mo-Door
  4. Buying and installing the Garage Door Opener from Vizi-Tec (hooks up to brake line), apparently you do a zip-zip-zip-braaake on your brake and it activates it?
  5. Taking apart a garage remote and making my own version of any of the above, including like the FlashToPass/FlashToOpen (they don't exist anymore sadly) which activated when you flashed your high beams
  6. Tucking a remote into my tank bag and smashing the shit out of it
  7. Do what I've been doing which was stopping, glove off, open jacket pocket, fish out remote and press button, shove it back into pocket, glove back on, roll into garage

Anyone got any other unique ways of managing their garage door whilst on the motorcycle?

Gay man ‘tortured’ in Qatar for his sexuality is sentenced: 'This is a breach of my human rights' by Kanzar in c/world@lemmy.world
[-] Kanzar@sh.itjust.works 40 points 5 months ago

There's a lot of gay men who don't even consider that these laws will apply to them. It doesn't help that a lot of people will say "oh those laws only apply to locals, they won't enforce them on international people".

Iirc the increase in people driving instead of flying due to 911, lead to more accidents and deaths. :(

The instructors advise you to speak aloud your actions as you do them. Also helps if you have already levelled out instructions to the rent a crowd to perform specific tasks like send for help and get the defib and you three who said yes to cpr training let's line up and take turns doing cpr.

...of course, the training to be comfortable giving these instructions is not really done.

British anti-trans rights activist issues John Pesutto and leadership team with defamation concerns notices (www.abc.net.au)

The context:

The British activist, who also goes by pseudonym Posie Parker, spoke at a "Let Women Speak" event outside Victorian parliament in March that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis, who joined the anti-trans rights demonstrators and repeatedly performed the Nazi salute.

MP Moira Deeming's involvement in the "Let Women Speak" rally led to her suspension and eventual expulsion from the Liberal party.
