Your Ring Video Doorbell 2 is charged using a common micro-USB cable (an orange one is included in your Ring box). The micro-USB cable can be plugged into any USB power source such as a computer. Your Ring Video Doorbell 2 will take around five to 10 hours to fully charge depending on whether the USB cable is plugged into a USB port or into a wall outlet.

Yup, I have been in the Ring ecosystem since way before Amazon took them over, and it is kind of hard to part from the useful cameras, so here is for my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] Latest Products/Feature Request Board topics – Ring Community

For my link archive as this was a cool idea, but for many their device didn’t last that long:
[Wayback/Archive] ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_ComputaPranksta_Support: Public support for my “Computa Pranksta” mouse jiggler device I sell on Amazon and elsewhere.
This device is a mouse jiggler. It keeps your computer awake. It can also be used to have some fun with your friends (please don’t take it too far–it’s meant to be used in good, friendly gest–not for any type of malicious purposes).
Notes:
Links on those USB Mouse Jigglers below, but first some links on the Computa Pranksta:

Het grappige van sommige Tweakers.net artikelen is dat er dan ineens veel tips over een concurrerend product in staat (omdat de laatste over het algemeen op bepaalde vlakke beter is).
Zo ook met diverse handige Stream Deck (van Elgato) tips in commentaar onder het artikel [Wayback/Archive] Mountain brengt DisplayPad- en MacroPad-toetsenbordjes uit voor content creators – Computer – Nieuws – Tweakers.

Too bad that [Wayback/Archive] Cara (@Caramelia79) / Twitter deleted their tweet before it got archived, so this lone tweet does not really make sense now:
[Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@Caramelia79 @unimanatee Heute neu gelernt: AEG Methode.” / Twitter
The joke however was this:
AEG Methode:
- Ausschalten
- Einschalten
- Geht
It is also known as “AEG-Prinzip” and refers back to the AEG brand that was (still is?) big in Germany for household appliances and industrial products.
The not so cool thing is that by now it seams to mean:
as about a year ago some AEG microwave appliance models show errors F606 and F254 after a firmware update: they now think they are steam ovens but cannot find the correct steam hardware:

For my link archive an interesting blog post by isotopp (Kristian Köhntopp)
[Wayback] My home sensor network
I have been asked to document my home sensor network. Being married to a person with a background in web security sets boundary conditions:
- No cloud. We are running all services locally.
- No control, only metrics.
I am collecting data from a number of plugs with power meters over Wifi, using the MQTT protocol. I am also collecting data from a number of temperature sensors over Zigbee, and convert to MQTT. The MQTT data is ingested into Influx, and then read and plotted in Grafana. All of this is dockered and runs locally on an Ubuntu server.
