L. Falkenstrom<p>Samsung Smartswitch, smidig överföring från en enhet till annan. Kopplar in USB-C kabel mellan enheterna, väljer mottagare och sändare och mottagaren vill använda wifi 😞 Vad skall kabeln vara bra för om den ändå skall ha tillgång till wifi.</p><p>Dags att göra något annat, som att gå ut i solen innan det blir regn igen.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/samsung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>samsung</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/smartswitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>smartswitch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/failure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>failure</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/SamsungTabS6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SamsungTabS6</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nu/tags/SamsungTabS9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SamsungTabS9</span></a></p>
phlepper<p>And, I really wish <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/smartswitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>smartswitch</span></a> makers would include standard slots/screws for wiring instead of hard-wired pigtails. These smart switch cases are already large enough without requiring (in the Kasa case) 4 additional wire nuts and trying to fit it all back into the switch box. :headdesk:</p>
