The main advantage of using custom silicon is that you can decide the naming and so you deceive users that the minor 0.1 update is a full generation advance

Kinda like I saw someone saying “apple skipped A17 for the iPhone 16 and gave the faster A18” - they’re in charge of the naming and they can easily decide that A18 = A17

Technically, yes, but I’m a bit lazy. If I can overengineer a workaround…

Se non sbaglio c’è una tassa del 100% sulle auto a benzina. Anche da noi se una FIAT panda costasse 36000 euro, tutti preferirebbero comprare una Dacia spring elettrica a 18mila

Yes my cylinder isn’t compatible, it won’t allow inserting a key from the other side. But I saw they sell a replacement one for 100 euro

Not being internet connected isn’t the end of the world, but that hidden expensive in-app purchase is really scammy because you would only notice that after you bought the device, after installation and probably even after the return window. All YouTube reviewers got the pro model, which doesn’t have this artificial limitation. If I didn’t watch that video, I would noticed that after years (I don’t have enough matter/thread devices to justify the purchase of a hub yet)

And also the door opening sensor isn’t included in the box but of course YouTube reviewers are showing it as part of the kit because they got all included. And the product page doesn’t specify that explicitly.

Searched the user manual in PDF to learn more about the product, it’s 4 sentences that explain absolutely nothing

So in the end I wanted the base model over the pro because for me having 4 AAs instead of a “proprietary” battery pack (4 AAs in a custom plastic shell) is much better and giving direct full internet access to the door lock via WiFi is too scary… but between the missing opening sensor, the IAP, the build quality, I think I will choose another one

Nice this looks compatibile, except for the open sensor, my door has an ultra thick frame and it’s only possible to install it at 12 cm, while the guide says 4 cm max. Does it really need it?

Thanks for the link, in that thread I found two promising products, Nuki and tedee.

One is small and stylish but uses a tiny expensive single use battery, the other is plasticly and bulky but uses 4 standard AAs

I’ll check specs carefully to see if they have enough torque

Edit: the 190 euro Nuki lock is advertised as “matter/thread compatible” but you need to pay a 50 euro in-app purchase in order to enable it. This is not stated anywhere, including the user manual, website and support faq. I discovered that from a YouTube review

There are so many burglars here that this kind of door is the standard in any apartment

When you close it, it’s not possible* to open it again from outside

* = only the triangular piece engages, so a professional can unlock it from outside by using a thin sheet of steel

I thought I had keys in my pocket, instead it was a different bunch. The keys were inserted in the socket from the inside, it doesn’t allow to insert the key from the other side, so I couldn’t use the backup pair that I keep in a separate location

Ah maybe I was missing the ./ , it said garage not found on path (on mobile, can’t try)

I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.

Main problem is that there isn’t an admin panel and you can’t login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:

1. Set the layout of your server
2. Create an user
3. Create a bucket
4. Assign that bucket to your user

Technically, it still is illegal to sell electronics without CE certification

Although a headline like “3 cubic meters of worthless famiclones have been seized” isn’t as strong

a figure which includes the value of the consoles and hundreds of licenses for the pirated programs.

So it’s just 12k consoles with 4000 pirated ROMs inside

Actual value is €300k, not 50 millions

Not having a certification doesn’t mean it’s not compliant.

It’s probably compliant, but they didn’t want to pay €50k to get it certified

It makes sense

In the serie A let me see what they can do with that money… Uhm the Juventus can’t even pay for Dusan Vlahovic (he gets €12 million - net per season)

Private conversations I mean

Welcome to 2019

As a lean startup, they definitely didn’t have the resources to implement dark mode in an app with a single view

With paid certificates you can target ancient and unsupported operating systems like windows XP and android 2, letsencrypt is relatively recent and it’s not present in the root certificates of those systems

What’s fun is that a season ticket to watch home matches at the stadium costs around half of what you would pay to stream them
