Your link is borked. Here’s a fixed version: https://www.c-span.org/program/senate-committee/meta-whistleblower-testifies-on-facebook-practices/658354

I mean, yeah. I wouldn’t have found that project and gone to the effort of using it if a simple dehu was all I needed. I wanted something I could control with my local home assistant install, and you can’t just hard power cycle a dehumidifier, it kills them.

That’s why projects like this are great: https://github.com/Hypfer/esp8266-midea-dehumidifier

My Midea Cube dehumidifier can never be bricked and will never send data outside of my home. It talks to Home Assistant via MQTT and nothing else.

Sounds like they either used a boilerplate EULA or hired a lawyer who is unaware of the requirements imposed by the GPL. If it’s the latter then I hope they can get their money back.

EDIT: yeah, this looks like an unmodified GPL to me: https://github.com/layground/pockaw/blob/master/LICENSE.md

I’m assuming that moving the power poles is also difficult due to property lines. I don’t know the rules in Australia, but in the US you’d have to convince the property owners to grant an easement to allow someone to install a power pole and perform routine maintenance on it. The easement is attached to the property, meaning the next owner of the property would be subject to the easement whether they like it or not. This can have a bad effect on property values and (I think) can have more significant legal ramifications.

I doubt this… “roundabout” is the product of pure incompetence. To me, it speaks of a disconnect between the project’s requirements and resources. There’s still plenty of room for incompetence there, but if you give someone an impossible task, they’ll generally do whatever it takes to tick the boxes in the “definition of done.”

source: I’m an incompetent person who has ticked boxes and suffered for it.

EDIT: I should clarify that this is all based off of the assumption that the power poles don’t have anywhere else they could move to without going on private land. Maybe that’s a stupid assumption. Maybe you work with power poles frequently and I’m a gibbering fool. If that’s the case, then I can only agree.

I use one of those daily and god they’re all terrible. They’re huge and they all break really easily. My phone is fucking huge, just give me a built in headphone jack!

I was in a crowd of ten thousand people screaming “FUCK MIKE LEE” and god damn did it feel good and god damn do I want that to happen again where he can hear it.

I was in a crowd of people screaming “FUCK MIKE LEE” on Saturday and god do I want to scream it again now. Mike Lee is such a worthless cunt and I’m furious that he supposedly represents me.

It seems likely that Andrew is a sex pest.

I believe further allegations have come out since then, but I can’t be bothered to look into them. I’m already not watching his channel, so I don’t need to make myself angrier by reading more.

There’s also ZZ 👉😎👉 Same caveats apply, smash that fukken esc key (for bonus points rebind caps lock as esc) then ZZ Top your way out of that shit.

That’s not confirmed AFAIK. There’s evidence for it and evidence arainst it.

Yeah, he’s made 10 comments about this now.

You hear that, America? If you want your coffee to Do The Thing™ then you need to stop BURNING IT TO FUCK.

I may or may not be very irritated to live in a country where we serve blackened sludge instead of coffee.

In particular, the companies purchase financial information from a data broker before offering a nurse a shift; if the nurse is carrying a lot of credit-card debt, especially if some of that is delinquent, the amount offered is reduced. “Because, the more desperate you are, the less you’ll accept to come into work and do that grunt work of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the dying.” That is horrific on many levels, he said, but “it is emblematic of ‘enshittification’”, which is one of the reasons he highlighted it.

What the ACTUAL FUCK‽ This is the type of shit Neal Stephenson would put in a fucking cyberpunk dystopia novel. I am filled with so much fucking rage. My sister is a nurse and goes through so much fucking bullshit at her job already. Nurses really do not need more shit thrown at them.

I knew I had heard of this game, but I couldn’t remember its premise. For anyone else like me:

THE LONG DARK is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies – only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

For anyone else who doesn’t know what this is:

This is my build of Proton with the most recent bleeding-edge Proton Experimental WINE.

Things it contains that Valve’s Proton does not:

• Additional media foundation patches for better video playback support
• AMD FSR patches added directly to fullscreen hack that can be toggled with WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
• FSR Fake resolution patch details here
• Nvidia CUDA support for PhysX and NVAPI
• Raw input mouse support
• ‘protonfixes’ system – this is an automated system that applies per-game fixes (such as winetricks, envvars, EAC workarounds, overrides, etc).
• Various upstream WINE patches backported
• Various wine-staging patches applied as they become needed

Hard power cycling your AC unit is bad for it and may eventually kill it. The fan needs to run for a bit after the compressor turns off. This affects large ACs more than small ones, but it may cause damage after a while. If your AC unit has an RF remote, I’d recommend using something like a Broadlink unit to control it.

I would not recommend ThirdReality zigbee smart plugs. Their firmware updates have been buggy far too often. Honestly, the only smart plugs I’ve been happy with are z-wave ones. Zooz ZEN04-LR and ZEN15-LR (for high current draw applications) plugs have been awesome for me. My hub is PoE, so I can easily stick it centrally in my home.
