Yeah, the billion dollar game developer doesn't have the resources to test preview editions of the only PC OS their game is designed for. They're just a small startup of ~20k employees. How are they supposed to allocated anyone to patching a game from their most popular franchise?

You're right, it's the consumers fault for being biased.

You may want gloves for this one...

In the old days consoles were so wildly different in their architecture that you'd pretty much have to rebuild the whole thing from scratch to port. Now gaming engines can output for different systems in just a few clicks

One of the first projects I did was an IR setup for my AC window unit! At the time there weren't an overwhelming number of options, but I settled on a Broadlink IR remote like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Broadlink-RM4-Universal-Control-Compatible/dp/B07ZSF46BX

I don't have it running anymore, but I remember I was able to train it on codes through HA. The training process is subject to a little randomness in the IR signal from your remote. To get the codes right I wound up sending the training signal several times (I'm a nerd so I definitely did at least 10), then copying them into excel to find the statistical most common hex pairs to make up the code I saved in HA, e g.,

FC:G3:D4

CC:G3:B4

CC:G5:D4

Becomes CC:G3:D4, and that dramatically improved the success rate of using the trained command to control things.

For the garage opener, honestly the wiring on those are pretty simple, easiest option is definitely to get a specialty made controller like https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Garage-Opener-Chamberlain-myQ-G0401/dp/B08GD3D9YJ, but a simple Shelly relay can do the job in most cases.

If you're really wiring averse, you could try something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Automation-Ceiling-Fireplace-through-Control/dp/B071GVGVVH

It says its not for garage doors so be prepared to have to return it.

If youre feeling really clever, you could also consider something like a Switchbot with a dumb remote, and just keep the remote in your garage. https://www.amazon.com/SwitchBot-Smart-Switch-Button-Pusher/dp/B07B4D9KVX

I love my Home Assistant setup for my whole home - if you need someone to bounce ideas off of, I've got close to a decade of successes, fuck-ups, and lessons learned to share and happy to help!

Promise me you won't do your own electrical work without doing a ton of homework first - bare hot wire is a good way to burn your house down

I know it's not the same, but I'm a happy subscriber to America's Test Kitchen,. Whenever I'm looking to cook something new, I go there first to get the core recipe techniques. They're a good, no fuss, recipe source.

Are you not paying for it with your labor now? Do you think your employer is covering the cost out of the kindness of their heart? If you stop working, will they still provide coverage?

Or am I getting wooshed on a bad joke?

Wait, is it sitting or standing?

Where does your scale go? All I have is drawers!

Seconded, move the games to the NVME if you notice slow load times or textures not rendering quickly enough.
