If I already have a handful of WiFi devices, do you think it is worth it to replace them? Say, 4-5 switches. I’m planning to invest in a few more and a home thermostat. I certainly want to commit before buying a thermostat, since they tend to be a little more pricey.
Is there a greater danger of ZigBee not being sustainable over decades? WiFi will probably be available for the remainder of my lifetime because it is already so ubiquitous.
“Well, you have to let us do a little harm.” ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think you misunderstand the phrase as I’m using it.
Time is always on someone’s side. It’s the nimble, the patient, the determined who win. MAGA is more nimble than the institutions that oppose it. It’s been more patient and focused than the opposition which has been constantly chasing after the latest shiny object of the week/month/year rather than anticipating the need for focus and unity. The bad guys are winning and they are not slowing down; we are falling further behind.
great collection! love it.
There are all sorts of mechanisms in the USA to stop this from happening as well. However, Trump spent the first term embedding loyalists in the courts and congress, so there really is not much left to stop him. If the people who are there to act as a check on presidential power are in on the game, then who is left to enforce the law?
Prosecution takes a very long time and authoritarians move very quickly. Time is not on our side.
“We’re leaving X” would be the better translation, I think.
I live in a hot climate, so it’s really the expense of air conditioning.
Small adjustments to the temperature based on whether or not we’re home, pre-cooling versus cooling during the heat of the day, etc. makes a big difference on the bill potentially.
I’ve seen some scenarios where people were able to save hundreds of dollars a year just by adjusting the timing of systems. The price of electricity can go up and down during the day.
Maybe those cases are outliers and it’s actually not worthwhile, but it seems compelling. If I can put a system in place for under $100, that will be at least as good as what I have and possibly a significant improvement, I’m interested in trying it.
So which was the easiest?
Thanks for the tip! Others have mentioned that it’s very tricky to find one that works offline without the manufacturer’s software (website, login, data collection, etc)
Wow, very detailed! Thanks
I’m not sure we are having the same conversation. You are talking about how Mastodon was not a good fit for you personally, maybe because of a bad server.
I’m saying that lots of people use it for all sorts of great things, and it’s an excellent option for a public health agency.
What are you talking about? It has a million active users. With an advertising budget of zero.
Too Bad it wasn’t Mastodon. They just chose a different corporate master
I wish the conversation happened before creating the community, but I don’t agree that locking a community immediately after creating it is the best way to build a resilient platform. Unless there is some kind of automatic link forwarding that I’m not aware of. I’m making assumptions about what “Redirect” means based on my knowledge.
Is this the best account to reach you by pm?
Tailscale is my number one app of the year. It makes everything else I do possible.
I understand this point as well. This community was created as a result of several requests in !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world from people who were unable to locate the alternative. I did not see !furiouslyinfuriating@sh.itjust.works suggested or promoted in that community, and I did not find it when I searched. Unfortunately we all know that the search built into Lemmy is not great.
Hopefully this new community will also raise the profile of the SJW one. I have included the link in the sidebar so that more people can find it. If this community proves unnecessary, I will happily close it and merge with the SJW one.
I appreciate the work you do in helping to keep the fediverse distributed. It is truly our greatest strength.
The standard will be similar to other Lemmy communities.
As with others, if this is applied in error, only providing a credible source will be necessary to reverse a removal.
Again, thanks for mentioning it. I replied to your alt that I wasn’t able to find it when searching, which is why it is now linked in the sidebar.
Thanks to your suggestion, anyone who finds !actually_infuriating@lemmy.world will also be able to find !furiouslyinfuriating@sh.itjust.works
What kind of problems? So many others present it as virtually worry free.
