Oh that’s good to know. I have a handful of Kasa bulbs and I don’t give them WAN access. They seem to be mostly fine without WAN, but I do get communication issues with them from time to time (which is why I’m exploring zigbee as an alternative). Thank you for the reply!

Great points. I have white a few smart switches through the house to control things both physically and via Home Assistant. Most of the other lights are wifi based and work mostly as expected with occasional drops (which can get annoying). Was wanting to experiment with ZigBee to see if it was more reliable, but it sounds like that might not be the case

Ambient Weather looks great. Just with it had air quality as well

I’ll check this out, thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Something like this guy? That looks perfect, thanks!

The US Supreme Court can’t even figure out women’s rights.

Was going to say, I’ll take zoom fatigue over office/ traffic fatigue any day

I. DECLARE. BANKRUPTCY!

Desperate

I actively avoid and move away from HA type devices that do not work without WAN. There’s no reason that me pushing a GUI button to turn off a light needs to do anything more than travel to my AP, to HA and then to the light. Let’s not bring the cloud into this.

Dang, I just applied to a couple positions there. I’ll go ahead and retract those :D

Wow, that’s great. We only get like 3-4% on average, and that requires us to put in 6-8%

Jumped to Kubuntu around the time Win 10 came out and haven’t looked back. Gaming on Linux has come quite far too :)

Oh noooo. Anyways…

Can’t tell if sarcasm. It’s a retirement plan that employers will match up until a certain point, In lieu of the pension plans previous generations were offered.

They’re saving a ton by not matching our 401ks anymore

Wish something like that would come back.

Good on them

I mean, both of them have common ownership. Maybe just correlation and not causation, but I’ve definitely noticed these types of changes post acquisition.

Ditto.
