Never tried this, but it was in a selfh.st newsletter a few weeks back

I thought I would try it out when I had time. It does ‘memories’ and seems to tell a story about your data.

Depending on your level of technical skill and willingness to risk crack things open, you can flash most Tasmota type devices with esphome and hard code it to be always on. This would go along way to eliminating software as the problem. I have done this with meters attached to my washing machine and dishwasher.

Also, the boards are also relatively simple and it is likely (although there are lots of variants) that you could remove the relay completely and bridge across the terminals. I wouldn’t plug my electric car into it (10A sustained) but you could put a led lamp through it without without much risk.

I’ve heard it split into ‘old millennials’ being digital immigrants, and ‘young millennials’ being digital natives. Both are shaped by the wider macroeconomic effects and have similar outlooks, but older millennials are more likely to have been in work with some career progression under their belt before the crises hit.

I recognise this problem, I had it for cameras detecting people, and that being annoying when I work in the garden.

The automation itself is surfaced as a switch so you can turn it off without trying to change your in automation logic to test for states.

Then, if you are like me, you’ll realise you forget to turn it back on! I created an automation that triggers when the automation is turned off and turns it back on after 2 hours (no way I’m gardening for longer than that).

Lastly, because it was annoying to have to open the app, I made the notification have an action button to turn off the notification automation, so that when I start gardening and my phone pings, I can turn it off without farting about too much.

Hrm… when I am with my family (brothers and Sisters) our conversations are like this. Our partners find it a bit weird/intense/think we are always fighting but we think that’s just how it works…

Wowsers. My kids look at me like I’m mad when I have to turn the kitchen extractor the other side of the room off when we eat dinner. HOW CAN YOU THINK WITH THAT CONSTANT HUM.

Related to 100% of memes. Laughed at 90%+

Think I might be a 90s kid.

Thank you so much for sharing your design thinking. I have no comments but will be trying your concepts. I am considering whether it might overlap on Gridfinity bins for organising things.

Fancy sharing the details of your prompt? I might like to recreate in a corporate environment.

No sweat if your keeping it closed.

Rebooted a bunch of bits and it seems to have sped up again. Weird really. I love zigbee for the low cost and low power consumption,M but as a tech nerd I hate that I don’t have the same tools as I would have with an IP device.

This is a good idea thanks! My wife and I talked about something similar recently. I think we’re going to try having some of our own office work scheduled for times when he is studying/revising.

My sense is that his problem isn’t particularly the understanding of the topic, it’s laying down a deep enough application of it to get the marks in the exams.

We’ve talked about his situation, but not in a formal ‘he needs support’ kind of way. When he’s getting low As and Bs it’s really hard to talk about him not meeting his potential, I just look like a pushy parent.

I think what I’m mostly worrying about myself is that the future he wants for himself needs grades that he’s capable of intellectually, but not at the work rate he’s able to do today. I know that things usually work out, but it’s still hard in the moment to see that he might miss out on his dream goals.

They’re bad, but what about the ice rink floor tiles and sharp cornered worktops and furniture. One rainy day and you’re practically in a Final Destination set up!
