You would need to figure out what it’s communicating with the server and replicate that, so at best this would need a per device (Ie wiz bulbs vs yeelight would be different) solution and would be a massive pita to figure out.
Is there a reason you need to turn them off at the switch instead of turning them off with the WiFi control?
The rent thing isn’t super common (but it has been around for forever here). My mom had to start paying rent at 16, and in her wonderful mercy she waited till the younger siblings were in their 20s to do the same. Nobody else I knew really had rent as a thought prior to graduating college, and my dad to the best of my knowledge never paid his parents rent.
I can’t really argue the overall point though. We are set up to see everything as a binary of either “I can screw them over because I have x item/power” or “they can (and should) screw me over because they have x.” It’s painful to watch the cruelty of the supposed “Christian” country here is it implodes around us.
They usually cover the basics of something pretty well, so I guess mostly positively? I use them maybe once a year at most though so no idea if they’re turning to garbage lately or not.
One thing to note in the US, often times these companies require drug testing including for pot. My wife’s company often times takes over 6 months to fill a hole due to that issue.
Least in the US side I can’t say I’ve seen anything that doesn’t follow the pattern of $75>$125>$89.99!!! Get your Black Friday deal now!
Not just no vetting the odd time I’m in there I report that shit and they NEVER take it down. Just say they deemed it “didn’t go against facebook’s community standards.”
Some people like them, they do have at least some ties to a Russian company which is a no from me at the moment.
If I remember right the nicotine quit rate is in the single digits for adhd folks so I’d definitely believe it.
Found distractions like exercise the first few weeks and tried quite af few times before it stuck. I will note though, after I quit I got diagnosed with/started meds for adhd. Turns out most of my withdrawal symptoms were exactly the same as feeling my meds wear off while tapering into them…haven’t had a craving since the meds normalized. Probably would’ve had a way easier time quitting if I’d gotten that diagnosed earlier in life.
I’d love to know how it’s not strong arming anyone to appoint a financial auditor in perpetuity for a temporary loan? That’s a ridiculous statement.
Many places (jobs and housing) will say anything on a record is enough if it’s potentially worse than a parking ticket basically.
I’ve bought a number of raspberry pico chips abs a pack of generic esp32s over the last few years and every time I think I have enough as backups I suddenly find more uses for them! I have an old floor radio converted to act as a light/dimmer control, makeshift hvac control, and flip a night light (also made from a pico w) in the bedroom, another one in the living room in a little coffee table box using home assistants api over WiFi. I also have 3, soon to be four (adding some really fun electromagnet parts) to convert an old electric organ to a full virtual pipe organ. This project was what got me started, the “off the shelf” conversion kits looked like they were running off an esp32 ish and mcp23017’s and cost $1,500-2,000 for just the pcbs, no wiring and no speakers etc. doing it with the picos and a crap loads of doorbell wire $160+$600 for high quality speakers, and $260 for a touch screen and vesa arm. So complete project cost me $600 less than just the pcbs. The fourth one I was waiting for cheap used parts to appear on eBay, they are insanely expensive new ($30-50 each) and I need 56 of them. It’ll be a similar price saving at the end of the day!
Long ramble to say these chips are cheap and don’t take long to help make life more convenient, and sometimes way cheaper if the project was niche.
That sounds like a pretty decent graduation. Here in the US we don’t have that but I was always taught to do the smallest thing legally called a motorcycle (250cc) here. Fast enough to be useful in town and maybe the highway, fun but not powerful enough to do anything too stupid.
Why is Newsom popular? Every time he makes the news it’s for the equivalent of kicking puppies…
That’s a quirk least in the US, most jurisdictions have exemptions to their juvenile stats that past a certain threshold of severity it’s either legal (or in some southern states mandatory) to try them as an adult. You know, to make an example of them or something…
The new attack, named Pixnapping by the team of academic researchers who devised it, requires a victim to first install a malicious app on an Android phone or tablet. The app, which requires no system permissions, can then effectively read data that any other installed app displays on the screen. Pixnapping has been demonstrated on Google Pixel phones and the Samsung Galaxy S25 phone and likely could be modified to work on other models with additional work. Google released mitigations last month, but the researchers said a modified version of the attack works even when the update is installed.

If you’re mainly using Bluetooth earbuds or other cheaper speakers there likely won’t be that much of a difference in perceived sound quality.
My 2016 versa is crank windows, no power locks, no cruise control, 5-speed manual transmission, no touch screen/complicated electronics in the dash. It’s been really nice minus I do miss cruise control.
If I enjoyed what I did absolutely. If not I’d still be finding another job/charity/some form of work to supplement or fill the time. People who retire without a purpose tend to mentally decline rapidly regardless of their financial outlook.
