That’s almost exactly what I was looking for! I even tried searching stainless mesh on Amazon and it kept steering me to screen door meshes & chicken wire.

The new AI algorithms suuuuck.

It’s thin gruel this week, but I’ll take it.

/Bannon!? No overthrowing the country! Not during an election year. Enough of your shit, young man, you’re in tine-out. Go sit in a corner for a few minutes and think about how you can be more subtle next time.

Can’t delay a trial you intend never to hear tho, right?

You get what you pay for, though. I’ve had nothing but good experiences as an Amex card holder. You need to live a lifestyle that gives you opportunities to use the system, but you can offset the cost of even the Platinum charge card if you sign up for, and then use, all the perks.

For how I use it, I’d say it pays for itself.

edit to add: their customer service is always stellar, and their disputes department are really effective.

Live by the Mango, die by the Mango.

No love for CNN here, but that was the right move this time. One hopes it’s the fresh start they needed.

(Also? One despairs that, at long last, this is that fresh start that won’t be.)

I’ve been happy with the GE Enbrighten series, though they do require a neutral wire. I use the Z-Wave models, but I can’t imagine the ZigBee models would work any differently.

Neat feature of the Enbrighten line is they recognize several gestures including short tap, long press, double tap, and I think even triple tap. I configured mine so that short taps on/off toggle the lights between off and 100% on, long press on/off brightens/dims, and double tap on activates the preferred evening lighting scene.

I think Minoston are also a GE product line? Again, Z-Wave, but rated for higher wattage in my case. They also require a neutral wire.

I had a pair of no-neutral ZigBee switches sold as ‘Martin Jerry’ brand, but they were super dodgy. Terrible feel to them, and they made a sort of electrical whine when the fixture was on. I pulled them right out and sent them back.

I don’t know this for sure, but if you installed the mobile companion app thru the Store for your platform, then the integration is probably using its push API to reach your device remotely.

I’m >90% sure notification workflows find me even when I am remote and untethered from home when I notify the app on my mobile devices.

It’ll be remembered a dark age when the lights go out and all the disks rot. And, if I know archaeologists, they’ll call our data centers ritual centers or temples.

Otherwise there will be disbelief at the inexplicably sophisticated engineering, and how we could have achieved it all with no written records. Probably it was all just ancient aliens.

You could source a pair of gigabit media converters and a length of fiber on Amazon for about $100. Just use the media converters to extend the Ethernet port from where the Internet hands off in your house over to your office. You can affix the fiber along baseboards and up over door frames with adhesive cleats and zip ties, or those nylon staples on a nail they use to tack down coax cable.

If you’re willing to spend a little more on the fiber for a custom color, you can probably even order the fiber in a more neutral color than SMF yellow to blend into the trim better.

Oh I could have so much fun with this meme template.

Seems It was actually 2024.6.1 that introduced the change. Not sure where in this release notes it said it was a breaking change, but

I’m all turned around. I updated the main post with the link to the PR and I had the right version from the get-go.

Oops! Good eyes, and thanks! Typing yaml on mobile is squinty business. Fixed in the main post

I love this for VA-7. We need more of this

I get it. Like trump and Milwaukee, I love gin while I’m drinking it but the next morning I’m like “noooooo, why?”

This is like that, but ipso reverso.

Gosh, I dislike that trump fella.

Don’t be baffled, White House, you’re being played. We all see it. We know you see it. Quit it.

Pull back the package. Give it to Ukraine instead.

Baffled. Hah! Geopolitics 101 here. Yeesh.

Da fuq? That was hilarious. Also, maybe.

I think this is the point, as much as it is indoctrination.

It will have two effects, one of which is to water down the efficacy of the US military with a bunch of disaffected conscripts and the other to attempt a capture of the “activist” years for what will be the dominant post-Boomer voting block. It is to stamp out some of the more extreme progressive tendencies, like “let’s try not suck hot shit on everything from climate to racial equality to gender equality to economic inequality.”

I said chicharrón, I meant chicarrón.
