Yup, if you're going to have smart lights, get ones that still have a physical switch!

Probably not many real cells on Amazon, I looked quickly and the first 2 pages didn't have a single legitimate cell, but there are several online stores that sell legitimate cells like 18650batterystore.com

Ehh I'm not sure it did well, the weight is a valid test, as is testing capacity.

So far with the Cloudflare and AWS outages this year my home storage is far more reliable hah

It looks good, plus they're good at marketing it and the website is very engaging with telling me what problems of mine it solves and how.

A lot of the spam I got was from being sent room invites, and the room names were really nasty stuff. And their client doesnt let you mass delete invites, I tried to do it one at a time but gave up and deleted the account instead.

Their server clearly doesnt care that a single federated server was sending out thousands of invites, and there's no way to avoid the spam.

In general using matrix was always a pain in the rear for one reason or another.

The image spam I got was on their official server.

I would be impressed if AI was actually 'super smart' but what we have now is not.

Yeah, too many people conflate intelligence with notionism

That one always felt like the bubble jumping the shark to me. Like, what does “phd level intelligence” mean? I nearly did a phd. If I had, would I have levelled up by 10 intelligence points? Such obvious nonsense.

Its weird how poor of a product Backblaze backup is, while Backblaze B2 works great.

I'd think no, the prices will just increase until monthly payments are the same.

That's exactly what happens when states increase minimum wage levels - rental prices increase until in a matter of months they've absorbed every cent (or more) of the increase.
