It’s one thing to watch people on the internet make beautiful joinery (Mr chickadee) and another thing to do it.
That’s amazing work; my perfectionist ADHD combined with terrible spatial reasoning skills conspire to ensure it’s a hobby I’ll avoid.

Yeah, it’s not really built out yet. Zigbee is good enough, thread is supposed to make it better but I’m good with what I’ve got in hue - for now at least.
Isn’t IKEA’s new line thread?
The reason people suggest avoiding wifi is more than just having the isolated network. Between the protocol requirements, the possibility of network congestion, and the high probability of overlapping wifi network signals, it can make them unreliable or just a bit slower than you’d expect a light to work.
Thread enabled devices can make this better, apparently; if I was in the market for bulbs outside of my current zigbee setup I would want Thread. Zigbee is excellent so far for me
Personally, I’m very happy with my Hue lights, but not super happy with the price; I only get them on sale. One aspect that is not discussed enough, in my opinion, is the quality of light (CRI, dimming depth, colour intensity), which hue is great at imho. The new hub does some nerdy stuff for motion detection if you have multiple bulbs in a room which is interesting, though I haven’t looked into it much.
I am on lisdexamfetamine and I like my morning coffee. I feel like it wakes me up faster (ie caffeine addiction needs are met) but I think that is largely psychosomatic. I have used decaf and it’s just fine but I feel a little groggy a little longer.
I try to minimize my caffeine consumption. Being on two types of stimulants isn’t great for the body. I absolutely do not consume caffeine after noon in any format, not that I’m a big fan of Cola etc.
Well that’s the thing. We have tons of water here. We don’t irrigate. There’s no datacenter. Yet we still managed to fuck it up.
But I agree with your statement. Places like AZ and CA are crazy, growing lettuce and almonds and lawns and having bathtubs and pools is really bizarre behaviour in a desert. We’ve really lost touch with nature.
Kill the unions
Wonder why there’s nobody left to work
These retiring boomers are leaving a union position and taking a pension in many cases which is not transferred to the next generation. Management has been squeezing and squeezing.
Without the union pay and with the spike in housing costs, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the third generation in a row that re told that blue collar work is awful is not getting on board with the least fulfilling version of blue collar work.
I in a city that is a confluence of two rivers and the next city over is known for its aquifer.
Yet, the city government has hired consultants to come up with ideas for how to handle expected water shortages in the area as a result of development. Not to get all /c/collapse but it sure does make me feel negative about humanity’s effect on the planet.
Add to the list Mexico City, which hasn’t had water for a while.
The early reviews agreed it’s got great hardware, which is a ln important starting point. Tesla still had/has significant build issues after years of experience. But it’s fair to criticize the software, especially when it makes up so much of the vehicle experience.
The first half of the video is all complaints I can live with, but I’d get annoyed with the issues towards the end. Savagegeese also has a complaints video and his as I recall had several issues that would drive me nuts.
The complaint about CarPlay grabbing another phone during a drive by happens every damn day with my partner’s car, which was made by a major manufacturer. It should associate by key, but that sounds complicated /s. The other CarPlay bug he mentioned where it forgets the phone also happened.
I still think I’d buy one if I was in that price range for cars. The problem is that I think people like me might see some of the reviews and stretch to get one and be really disappointed. I hope they fix the software bugs but they’re on a tight budget and also working hard on developing new models.
I don’t remember who did it, but there was a good video explaining the issue months ago. It’s not just that there is a hole, but there are multiple layers in the system that are compromised. . A hole was made and a fire started in a lower layer. The fire spread in that space and firefighters needed to make more holes to put the fire out. It’s a major repair in a location that has major restrictions on the ability to execute repairs.
It's funny how much sense your documentation makes until you come back 3 months later.
3 months later “who wrote this? wtf does this mean? What is the password?”
That’s also an outlook that needs to change. The billionaires want to keep you just happy enough and just nihilistic enough that you don’t revolt.
That’s genius. I hope google never lists it. It’s the kind of joke they’d have been in on back when humans worked there.
