Seven-year-old boy denied passport by UK Home office over Star Wars copyright infringement for Skywalker name | Malay Mail
  • It is stupid, yes, but they wouldn’t be able to do that anyway.

    I’m fairly certain that the article is using the wrong term here and the problem is that the name Skywalker is trademarked.

    You wouldn’t be able to trademark the name Jane Doe so you wouldn’t be able to prevent someone from using it.

  • Jedi Survivor could have been great
  • You’re right about the glowy baseball bats but I think that Jedi combat is a tough one to pull off well. You can force pull any of the lower enemies into a one shot with the light sabre as it is and there’s no reason that you shouldn’t be able to do that with all human sized enemies that aren’t force users except that it would make for a dull game.

    The loot is shit but I don’t know what more a Jedi needs other than armour or blasters but they don’t really use them. It is very weird that I had to find something in a box for me to get the idea to not shave my beard so close.

  • Israel offers to end war, let Sinwar leave if all hostages freed at once, Gaza disarmed
  • Gaza disarmed? I don't even know what that means, but whatever.

    You can’t just “but whatever” that. How Israel defines that term is very important.

    How is it to be verified that they are disarmed? How long do they need to remain disarmed for? Presumably, forever.

    How do you verify that they stay disarmed?

    It sounds like permanent occupation to me.

  • Multiple walkie talkies explode in Lebanon at funeral for those killed in pager attack: State media
  • the people doing the detonating had visual confirmation of the targets not being in close proximity to civilians

    Or even had the pager at all instead of leaving it at home where their kids could get hold of it or a fire could be started.

  • Why is Home Assistant an operating system and not an application installable through distro packages?
  • I guess that my message wasn’t clear but by “component” I meant a home automation component.

    I have the following containers in my HA installation:

    • Home assistant
    • Node red
    • MQTT
    • Zigbee2mqtt
    • Esphome

    And maybe others that I have forgotten.

    Each had to be installed manually by adding it to my docker compose file, mapping drives, and editing config files.

    Most, if not all, of them (except HA) can be installed from within HA if you’re using HAOS.

  • What are your favorite racing games?
  • Wipeout 2048 was my favourite of all time and is available in the Wipeout Omega Collection. I wouldn’t say that it’s better than the more recent titles but it was just the one that grabbed me.

    I also really liked:

    • Dirt Rally was ace on the PSVR
    • Burnout Paradise
    • Need for Speed: Most Wanted (the second one)
  • Aid agency insiders claim BBC ‘blocking’ Gaza humanitarian appeal
  • It’s purely about the power of advertising. It is the most trusted news channel in the uk with around 70% of the country watching BBC One for their news. The second most popular news channel is ITV at 49%.

    So they could launch an appeal without the BBC but they could be missing up to half the population. Although it’s difficult to tell because they could also be missing none of the population if those that don’t watch ITV watch other non-BBC channels.

    I think that the concern that they have (regarding the ability to actually deliver aid) is valid. We’ve heard a lot of stories about aid delivery not working so how are the aid agencies going to ensure that they can use the money that they collect from the appeal for the specified purpose?

  • Rich nations have millions of mpox shots: Will they share with Africa?
  • I think that we know the answer to that don’t we?

    We’ll keep hold of them in case we need them regardless of the fact that using them now would drastically reduce the chances of us needing them later.

    That’s ignoring the humane reason for sharing because that won’t be considered relevant to any decision made.

  • EU, China should build bridges, avoid trade war, says Spanish Prime Minister | The Straits Times
  • As an aside, Sanchez is missing the fact that the EV tarriffs were implemented in response to excessive state aid by the PRC. It's not good for him to promise to drop the tarriffs without committing to more negotiation regarding the EU's concerns about state aid.

    That is a pretty huge thing to ignore too. Without the EU imposing tariffs, China could shut down the EV industry in the EU. Without tariffs, any country could shut down any industry in another country unless the other country also provides subsidies.

  • so my friend asked me to explain whats an rss feed
  • I’m not sure that’s the fault of XML though.

    It’s more the fault of the implementation and documentation.

    We have a WCF service with an odd configuration and nobody has been able to integrate with it that didn’t use Microsoft tools. It’s definitely not XML’s fault.

    (That service has been replaced with a REST API now)

  • Problems with Zigbee2mqtt

    I run HA in Docker and I have set up Mosquito MQTT and Zigbee2mqtt in other containers.

    I can add Zigbee devices into Zigbee2mqtt and they automatically turn up in the MQTT integration. The problem is that they usually don’t have the control entities in HA. This means that I can’t activate switches by clicking on them in HA.

    Everything else seems to work. I can turn the devices on and off in Zigbee2mqtt and I can do the same from Node Red (running in another container) with the Zigbee2mqtt plugin.

    Has anyone else seen this problem?

    I found something in GitHub about it but the comments said that it was fixed in the next version but I have a later version than that but it’s still not working.

    All the news on his speech seems to be about HS2 but I think that this is important too.
