This! I need some better browser extensions to just start suspending JavaScript after the pages been in the background for a period of time.

I've tried all of the auto discard type extensions but yeah back on CPU usage is crazy

You want to change the ForegroundLockTimeout registry key or set it via power shell.

by default if you haven't typed anything for a little bit Windows allows an application to steal focus. If you change that value you can prevent windows from ever stealing focus or change how long they have to wait before they're allowed to.

Windows has a ton of little settings you can tweak like this if it's not working quite how you like it.

I personally tweak it the other way to allow a window to pop up and still focus sooner .

If you set up via PowerShell you can do it more dynamically and if you're doing it via the API there's behavior in there too force a lock

Check/change your ForegroundLockTimeout registry value.

Change the ForegroundLockTimeout registry setting to increase the timeout, or you can set it to the max integer value to never let the app steal the focus.

I love bed heating/chilling systems (eight sleep, chilipad, etc) Otherwise I'd go to bed and be cold so I'd put a blanket or two on then wake up being too hot kick it off and repeat.

As an aside, pretty much all the g604 is will end up with double click reliability issues or an inability to hold down the mouse button and drag. But you can easily replace the switches or there's vendors on eBay and AliExpress that I'll sell you a circuit board with the switches pre-soldered for replacement.

Logitech no longer makes the g604 :(

I've been using epub2tts / epub2tts-edge and its been working well for me. Converts into m4b

It's cute but unless you really need the size+ onboard screen, I don't see the big win of this over an Apollo air-1. (Esphome based, easy HA integration.

Or an inkbird - I paid $99 for one with co2, HCHO, AQI, PM2.5 PM10, TVOC, Temperature, Humidity. It has a display and integrates with home assistant. Built in battery if you want to move it around.

I own both of those. A DIY it but I haven't seen a good reason to.

The big advantage of the ESP home devices out there is they are extremely easy to tinker with if you want to change anything
