  • The ID on the phone thing is weird. Like I’m gonna give my phone to a cop when they ask for my ID.

    You don’t do that. You present the cop a QR code generated on the fly by the ID app when selecting “show ID” (or driver’s licence, in our country) that they then scan with their equivalent app or device. You don’t physically give them the phone. At least that’s the idea.

    Like in many countries (traffic or street) cops here barely have a high school education and it’s not unusual for them to be too stupid to be able to scan a QR code. So carrying your plastic cards with you is prudent.








  • I wonder what his big ZigBee issue was that took him months to solve.

    From the vague description it could be that his ZigBee stick was plugged directly into the USB port instead of using a USB extension cable, thus subjecting the ZigBee stick to all sorts of RF interference from the motherboard.

    Or maybe the USB pass-through to the home assistant VM was wonky?

    Edit: he talks about getting 30$ worth of hardware to fix the issue so it is probably not just a USB extension cable 🤔
