Isn’t that a well known crypto-spammer tactic?

Curious what your preferred streaming box is, considering changing my Android TV so that it launches to HDMI, disconnect from internet, use a streaming box that isn’t as slow and has a hardwired connection instead.

Warm white 2700-3000k is fine for bedrooms Soft white 3500k is better for awake spaces that aren’t task spaces White/Daylight 5000k+ is for getting things done, I use them in the garage, the basement, and for some of the kitchen lights

I used to hate integrated LED fixtures, but I put in under-cabinet lighting that can switch color temp so that is nice because I can set it to daylight during meal prep and warm during eating.

That sounds pretty nice, I have some devices compatible with Matter, but mostly I have Amazon plugs right now. I guess it’s not too late to start switching to Zigbee plugs.

I’ll probably start by just disabling the microphone on the Alexa devices and just control devices through my phone’s assistant or the app, so at least it’s not listening to me all the time.

She seems like the kind of person who isn’t capable of reading a paragraph so would just tune out when she sees one. (Yes, many of these people have somehow graduated highschool AND college and have made it into the workplace!)

I have gotten so used to this it’s going to be tough when I inevitably excise Alexa from my life due to surveillance capitalism.

If you end up with a small amount of chips and dip left, just dump the small pieces into the dip and eat it with a spoon like cereal.

A one day general strike across the US would be an amazing achievement. If we can pull that off it’s a great place to start. Would a more sustained effort have to be planned? Probably, but being able to achieve this shows that the people are serious about this and the threat of a more sustained strike can be taken seriously.

I want one so that it explains why I’m driving slow. Maybe tailgaters would exhibit a little less road rage.

Also, I want it to flip around to say “Baby is NOT on board” so when I want to drive like an asshole they know I mean business.

Good source of fiber and adhesives!

I enjoyed Being Human. Not normally into the vampires and werewolves thing but I enjoyed it.

Have you watched Love Death and Robots?

These employees did exercise their right to unionize, but there’s no way to force employers to keep the union. A union just means that you can bargain collectively, and it should theoretically protect employees because what kind of scummy employer wants to fire ALL their employees, right? Turns out Ubisoft IS that scummy.

Any kind of spray you have lying around should make their wings too laden to fly. Simple Green, Windex, Axe Body Spray, etc. Could probably just be a spray bottle with water too.

Then you can do what you will with them.

I guess LED lights have some latency but to me it’s still better than some of those fluorescent lights. I’ve had those where the bulb doesn’t light until I’ve already given up and turned on another light.

Many rooms in my place have light switches tied to outlets. Usually just a single switched plug per room. I know where they all are now but it would have been good if there was a little light icon on each plug.

Still, now that I know, I’m not sure I actually want to add that icon, since I know where it is and I’ll either plug in a light (in which case I know easily) or I won’t (in which case I don’t care).

If the switches don’t match I’m triggered. Some small label or abbreviation on the plate might be ok though.

Or little icons that match the style of the plate would be cool. I’m thinking about getting these for the ceiling fans:

The real issue with this picture is not the “user experience”, unless it is a hotel or some public place where customers are intended to interact with the devices.

The real issue is that the switches and plates aren’t lined up right.

Wasn’t the large fries always a ripoff? I think someone showed once that it’s only marginally more fries than a small fry.
