Yeah that’s when I joined . The front page was 99% star trek memes. Now it’s down to like, 70%

Yes… That is the choice. That’s the entire point of the article.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Seconded. Really depends and very dependent on the person and source.

I noticed quite a bit with my OLED TV sitting about 7 feet away from it. My wife doesn’t care, and she would say it doesn’t make a difference until we watched something that was truly done well like Dune.

There’s too many variables here to say “doesn’t make a difference”. We can safely say “diminishing returns” which is universally true, but not that there is no change

Yeah they need to start rotating egress ips regularly. It’s a cat and mouse game

Did a takehome for a company recently that did it well. They required that I make a docker file (you could give them one if you wanted) where when ran it would run tests. It was a neat use of docker IMO, it standardized that builds were just “build the docker file” and running was just “run the dockerfile”. You would t have to deal with tar or anything then.

Oof okay so they definitely fucked up architecture wise BUT:

We are currently outage-proofing your Pod experience and we will be working tonight-24/7 until that is done.

Douchebag CEO right there. God knows he was just like FIX IT NOWWWW to them and forced them to work overtime because of this. This is a complete rearchitecture. Sure it can be done, but it’s not a one night change.

I didn’t think I needed a switch until the mother in law came and turned off all my lights manually. A switch keeps things in line but lets family still work with your bulbs the old fashioned way

Man I do love me some crazy promises tech bros make. Talk to me when it’s a reality. Even then, meh. I like not having a screen in my eyeball.

I’ve had the same Hue bulbs for over 7 years now with no issues. The brand itself is very good. As other have said, you can interact with them via Google or Home Assistant directly, and when you’re ready you can directly switch them over to Zigbee or something more open if you want to ditch the online services. People here will pressure you to do that immediately, but I think dip your toes in with the official automations, see how you feel, and then see if you want to switch it over. Hue is a great way that will work from app based official all the way down to 6 years from now when you’re coding your own automations.

I leave my lamps powered on all the time with hue bulbs and have never had an issue. Even very old lamps have been completely fine. For usability and wife approval I would recommend getting a switch (which is useful for other reasons too) that you can stick on your wall and turn them all off at once. Even if your wife is onboard with automation, a switch will make it mother-in-law proof.

Just the other day my uncle said “I’ll never drive an EV because they’re doing all these subscriptions to them”, and that’s what I’m arguing against though. Yes it happens to EVs, but by not being more broad and including ICE vehicles they’re doing a disservice to EVs.

I disagree with this a lot. The article unfairly calls out EVs. EVs are just newer and getting flack. all cars are going this way. Buy any new ice car and they’re going to treat it like a smart phone as well, extras, add-ons, and 2 years in the future they’ll deprecate it all saying you need an upgrade.

They said they were open to it but they had zero priority of doing it themselves, and essentially “submit a PR if you want it”. A shame really, their interface is great, and such an easy setup. If they implemented either xmpp or matrix I would switch immediately. All of my friends want a discord clone that “just” works, but no one wants to go to this server for this group and then login to that server for that group. They want a single-pane interface like what discord offers.

Shortsighted to not implement that IMO.

Yeah I would assume if anything they would have helped them bring federation

Oh neat, I’ll have to swap searx to use it!

Yeah yeah yeah but ignoring that… Would you?

We’re already in the dystopia
