Yeeeeah this is the takeaway for me. A lot of those posts are just GPT slop churned out to karma farm.

Oof $4300 USD. Though I suppose if you're replacing a car (which it looks like you could do with this one) it's justifiable.

Ah I missed that. That's great! I should look into it.

So the automation is triggered if the power draw is above a certain amount? I assume there is a smart plug? Or is it a dishwasher with Wifi? Forgive me still learning how these things work.

Yeah exactly, well said. I think for a lot of people the advent of paywalls felt like taking away a free thing, instead of a return to the norm. Personally when it comes to journalism I prefer a paywall to advertiser-supported.

The argument that paywalls somehow ruin the open parts of the Web always fell flat for me. It is trivial to contribute to the Web for free if one wishes. Nobody is forced to paywall their content.

Yeah, nine times out of ten someone who wants "free speech" on the web means they want to force others to listen.
