I’m getting sick and tired of rude and downright obnoxious developers.

In my case, I submitted a couple of suggestions to a developer to improve his product in my view for my specific case, and asked that they be added as options. I get the effective response of “Screw off, this is the way it works” and both suggestions closed with the same message.

Please, developers - consider your user base - I, for one, don’t know Javascript in the slightest, other than what I’ve learned about syntax from the config file. If you could be nicer to the user base - I for one, would be grateful.

I’m very close to just deleting Magic Mirror and forgetting about this project.

I’m having a problem with MMM-MyCommute - Google has blocked my API usage, because my bank blocked them from hitting my card so hard that the police was called… Seriously.

My bank has shut down my credit card due to fraud, called the police, and opened a report with them because Google has kept authorizing small amounts on my credit card then releasing it (I’m assuming they’re constantly checking if the card is valid). They’re considering it fraud, and they told me that if I re-authorize Google to use my bank account, they’ll close the account.

Google has responded by cancelling my API usage.

Therefore, I can no longer use google as a data provider. Is there another provider option for this, or am I stuck?

If I’m stuck, is there another module that has like functionality, but from a SP that won’t pound my card like Ronda Rousey on fight night?

Thanks!

Thanks again, man. :)

I might not have to work up my own module to get the notifications. 🤣

God, what an annoying video. Echo and loudness had me turning it off in 30 seconds or less.

@British_Kiwi Like they said, vnc, a SSH client, or, the best solution, IMO, Raspberry Connect (https://connect.raspberrypi.com/)

Also, you could use https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-samba/ - and network serve your magic mirror directories to your internal lan, then any editor in a more user friendly style (I recommend sublime text)

If you choose to go the samba route via pimylifeup, you can read the section where you create a shared path, but instead change the “homes” section this way - and you’ll gain access to your entire user directory on the Pi.

#======================= Share Definitions =======================

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = yes

# By default, the home directories are exported read-only. Change the
# next parameter to 'no' if you want to be able to write to them.
   read only = no

# File creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
# create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
   create mask = 0700

# Directory creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
# create dirs. with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
   directory mask = 0700

# By default, \\server\username shares can be connected to by anyone
# with access to the samba server.
# The following parameter makes sure that only "username" can connect
# to \\server\username
# This might need tweaking when using external authentication schemes
   valid users = %S

@JohnGalt Let me see your config, that’s really odd…(JUST the config for Worldclock/MMM-Worldclock, no need for the rest)

@Dennys1 What are you trying to do? I’m running most of my automation stuff outside of the MM ecosystem for sanity reasons. MMM-RemoteControl never did anything right for me.
