Out of curiosity, is it something as simple as needing to wrap the template in quotes? I may be mixing up my YAML with the Ansible work I’ve been doing, but I think you need to have templates double quoted like this in order to resolve the jinja2 properly: "{{ state_attr('light.etc', 'brightness') }}

I don’t think you need the quotes in the Templates section of dev tools but you do in YAML files. I could be wrong though, let me know if you try it.

Definitely use the state_attr() form over states.etc.etc form. I think there’s something about how HA handles startup that may mess with templates if you use states.etc.etc .

Props for finding the answer and sharing it!

This! Manufacturers were trying to lock people into their systems, just by different means. Reverse engineering a piece of low-level software (BIOS) so that you could run high-level software written for that machine architecture on different hardware was the main battle of the day.

EAP is a wrapper for a bunch of different protocols. EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-TLS, etc. If you have access to the network settings on a Windows machine you may be able to get more information there.

Not gonna lie, once you’re getting past single button combos, I’m mentally checking out. Ctrl+K and Ctrl+U in nano are good enough for me, and if I need to do something more complex like actual coding, I’ll use an editor with a full GUI as well.

I know i and :wq and that’s all I ever plan on learning

Come on man, I’m not expecting you to be “the woke home improvement store” but you didn’t have a CEO backing Trump…

Why not just not use the switch function? You can even “disable” the switch in Home Assistant so you can’t accidentally turn it off, and most of these sorts of switches have a setting for default (on power restoration after power loss) of on or off.

Yeah I remember using the Compiz cube on Ubuntu 8(?)

Don’t a lot of CPUs like Snapdragons already have “performance cores” and “efficiency cores” that the kernel has to be able to recognize in order to switch between them? This sounds neat but I’m just curious what’s different between these situations.

Programs that want to receive or send data across the network do so using a port. A firewall (in the sense of a firewall on your computer) is basically a program that sits between the rest of your programs and your network connection and determines what programs should be allowed out to the network and what incoming connections should be allowed to talk to your programs.

This is “increasing security” by making sure you don’t let incoming connections talk to whatever happens to be running on your computer that might be listening for network traffic.

I can provide a more ELI5 explanation if you would like it.

You can drop the awkward one and just -xtract -zee -files without -verbose output

Citation needed? Isn’t x86 considered a CISC?
