I want to downvote as “yeah, that sucks”

Isn’t this just the natural consequence of a flood of new bug reports generated by ai, with little skill required?

Thanks

I’m having trouble translating how big your cabinet is …… given the list of equipment similar to yours (nas, switch, router, ports), how many mini-pc’s fit?

Very cool - I need to try something like this. I wonder what happened to that old iPad.

I’ve been considering replacing my iPad since the screen is cracked and the battery is unhappy. It’s probably not noticeable from a distance.

Don’t remind me …. The doublespeak at my company …… we had to use GitHub for the built in AI, but couldn’t even evaluate GitLab’s AI because it costs extra

Note that the top “ribbon “ is visible from all of those ribbon choices, while the content pane stuff, like the “About” box are only visible in “Code”

Comments like this are so frustrating to see, as my company goes backwards, moving from Gitlab to GitHub.

True, whatever form a smartswitch is in, they usually are self-centering. The user is protected from appearance of a false state. They can match your other switches closely enough in the same room, but that will stand out in the same switch plate.

Admittedly I was never concerned about that either: even before home automation I installed dimmers and programmable switches that were already visibly different. I’m actually just now getting back to that consistency, after replacing most switches. That’s an expensive way to do it though

I never really understood the use case for those relays. While I also thought they were a cool idea, the more I thought about it, they just weren’t. You’re leaving the switch in a weird state that won’t be useful to most people

A smart switch should be the same wiring as the relay and take care of the entire problem in a much more straightforward way. You can even get them in toggle or paddle to be similar to whatever else you have.

Most importantly smart switch means the switch keeps operating like everyone expects, PLUS automation.

A smart switch makes all this complexity go away

Seems great in theory and am pretty sure mine could. However the first thing I enabled was “no remote control”. It’s a dangerous idea to allow anyone to turn on the oven when no one is home. It’s a dangerous idea to trust the security of an appliance vendor with the safety of your family

Actually I’m annoyed that it is a binary choice. I don’t want to let anyone turn on the stovetop/oven unattended. But I would prefer to be able to turn it off remotely if someone does. But disabling “burn down the house” mode also disables “stop it before it happens”

It probably helps that this oven preheats very quickly. I don’t see being tempted to save a minute or two

For people who want this, you may want to try Inovelli switches they cost a bit more than others but are very configurable, including many potential actions

So it looks and works like a standard dimmer, but perhaps you could make, say, a double click cycle through the colors.

BRO!

They’re welcome to say that, as long as their ruler doesn’t enter the political or policy arena and have the moral depravity to act despite a conflict of interest. As long as corporations don’t have undue influence on politics from lobbying or donations.

We don’t have to listen.

Our representatives should be representing us. …… alright alright you can stop laughing now

Yet more cool tech from NASA, a great example of international cooperation with the fast rising India space Industry, to track information action vital to modern life on earth. A real contribution to humanity

Yeah, waiting for it to be shut down as “woke”
