Are you unfamiliar with the concept of an analogy?

you've had to buy 'extra stuff' for decades. The TV is only half the equation.

Its buying a DSLR camera, and being upset it didn't come with the best lens. It comes with one that works, but you arn't going to have good results.

basically confirmed what i assumed (but we know how dangerous that is)

the news breaker got it mostly wrong, but of course the goverment isnt perfect.

I quit the big R when they killed third party apps.

Would have paid them a monthly fee to use my app,but the way they killed them really soured me on Reddit. Burned my account, and moved on

Beside the testimony of this one person, de we have any credible reasons to believe there is widescals fraud here?

Fraud absolutely does happen, and if it's real it needs to be caught, but there are also anti-fraud fraudsters

Just unsubscribed from duo, after a 1500 day streak, and 8 years being a paid member

Sent them this email

Just reaching out to let you know why, after years of subscription and a 1500 day streak, why I finally intentionally broke my streak and unsubscribed

I joined early on, like 10+ years ago, and loved the weirdness of early Duolingo to learn Spanish, I ame and went, but always spread the gospel

But over the last 3-4 years, duo has been showing the enshitifcation more and more. Going from a fun system to this entierly linear system, changes to the unpaid energy system, removal of comments and the forum

Then, recently, pushing Duolingo max, removing practice for a max button, a service I don't have, ever increasing of AI slop, removal of paid volenteers.

I really loved duo, but hate to see it in this sad state. I loved learning a second language, and would continue to pay for it, but it's clear you no longer view your self as a language platform, but just a way to make a quick buck

Duo would cry if he could.

Just going to copy and paste my previous comment, since it addresses what you say perfectly:

STILL doesn’t affect the basic operation of the fridge, or the findings of the study i linked.

I’m not saying these features are good, or that an AI fridge is worth buying… im just saying statistically, a modern fridge will have a similar lifespan as a fridge from the 70s

Do i need to keep repeating myself?

Fridge is still fully usable though. Even if the AI craps out, and the touch screen shows adds... its still a cold box to put your stuff in, with a lifespan similar to a device from the 70s.

I've wanted to illuminate my kick plates for a long time, starting with my master bathroom, and rolling out to my secondary and kitchen

Finally started today, with a 100w 24v converter, and a gledopto ZigBee controller

Installation was easy, and the controller was quickly picked up. I previously installed a GFCI protected outlet under my sink, so I just plugged it into there.

I don't have a motion sensor yet, so it's just a timed automation:

Day: bright white, about 40% brightness Evening: warm white, about 20% brightness After 10: almoast amber, and about 1% brightness, just enough to pee by.

 

I bought several Sonoff mini4r to add some automation to my lights, and wanted to post a short review:

Pros:

  • price is excellent. Got 5 for <$50 cad.
  • Size is amazing, itsy Bitsy.
  • Build quality feels good.
  • Should be easy to flash, if my soldering skills were better, with exposed pads.
  • Connected to my home wifi quick and easy.
  • SonoffLAN easily picked them up, with full control.
  • Detached relay mode works great, with switch fallback if wifi goes down.
  • quick response time, under a second.

Cons:

  • only rated for 10-12 amps, means I can't install this on switch controlled outlets.
  • wish it had headers for flashing.
  • wifi only, wish there was a ZigBee model.

In the end, I'm likely to buy more, and some Shelly units for where I need 16-20 amp relays.

 
 
 
 

People honestly beleive there was a massive empire until recently which covered most the globe, but was destroyed by a worldwide mud flood.

Somehow, spires on buildings made limitless power

 

Whose planning on upgrading from the Q2 to a Q3?

It seems like a lot of incremental upgrades, but it's a LOT of incremental upgrades.

Cost is definitely a lot higher than I like, close to 2x what I paid for my Q2
