AA5B, to homeassistant in Any news websites covering smart home tech?

Thanks, looks interesting

AA5B, to lemmyshitpost in Double Barrel

Wait, is t a wrap just a tool to funnel all the grease down the front of your shirt in one spot?

AA5B, (edited ) to asklemmy in Anyone else do "last chance socks"?

Depends on whether the socks are paired up. If I grab a pair, I feel like I’m committed so this is their last chance (assuming I remember at the end of the day). If a sock was just thrown in the drawer and I still need to search for a pair, it goes immediately

AA5B, to upliftingnews in From urchin crushing to lab-grown kelp, efforts to save California's kelp forests show promise

I was about to get all political with it too … as the theme of one of the political parties in the US

AA5B, to lemmyshitpost in I'll just be over here setting a new record

Yeah, I’ll take this one. The funny thing is I saw this at the same time as a similar reply for an entirely different thread: I guess only knowing English is also an American stereotype, just like a certain date format

AA5B, to piracy in Netflix enshittification will continue until morale improves

I guess, but shouldn’t it be a fundamental configuration to only see things whose language you know?

AA5B, to piracy in Netflix enshittification will continue until morale improves

Yeah the foreign films coming up are the worst. I’m sure it’s great for the people who speak those languages but I don’t generally find it entertaining to watch with subtitles. It’s annoying when they keep coming up on recommended and even worse when it takes more clicks to see the language then to just start it.

Somehow Netflix thinks I speak Norwegian and I didn’t see a way to turn that off

Anyway -1 premium account, when they started down their path to enshittification

AA5B, (edited ) to homeassistant in Need to order switches

Inovelli Red is z-wave

If you want Zigbee or Thread, the Blue series come as Zigbee and claim to be flashable to Thread

I have both and am very happy with them

AA5B, to lemmyshitpost in I'll just be over here setting a new record

Every day for a full month!?!?!?

AA5B, (edited ) to asklemmy in Which carbonated soft drink is the best?

Dr Pepper!

But I have to say Jarrito Tamarind soda is really good

AA5B, to homeassistant in Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration

Wow, and it is a real lawyer? I e had employers with benefits that sound similar but I think only get things like templates for common documents like wills and contracts that you can get anywhere, or “free” co suits like you can get anywhere.

I actually do phage a upcoming minor legal need this year, and they couldn’t even tell me , using that as an example, what would the benefit cover?

AA5B, to lemmyshitpost in Doesn't look like anything to me

My kids are off to school so I was just wondering how you make lasagna for one, but I guess OP did

AA5B, (edited ) to asklemmy in Do streaming services sell your usage data to companies like insurance and medical

While I agree in sentiment, why would they buy info that’s not potentially useful?

– even in the US, I don’t think medical insurers or providers are allowed to discriminate by most self-destructive behaviors, like smoking, drinking …. I don’t know about mental illness but I certainly hope they can’t

— companies wanting to sell you medical products, such as for smoking cessation, probably do already advertise with demographics they link to smokers, do already buy that data, but are you counting these as medical providers?

AA5B, to mildlyinteresting in Pudding used to come in cans

Good to know, thanks. While I don’t know how my system does with this , the treatment facility is new-ish and was supposed to be state of the art.

But then we’re back to needing to know more about the sources of environmental microplastics, then figure out how to cut them

AA5B, (edited ) to mildlyinteresting in Pudding used to come in cans

Also, I haven’t seen enough research on where environmental plastic comes from. While they’re are some benefits to just using less plastics, less packaging where we can, it would be much better to focus on the larger sources

Realistically what I’ve seen for larger sources of microplastics is:

  • industrial waste
  • tire dust
  • clothing

I already have a lint trap on my washer outlet and see there are a few filters meant to trap much of the manmade fibers that come off in the wash, to dispose of in the trash rather than back into the environment with treated wastewater. I have no idea whether that would actually be helpful but the filters aren’t that expensive, and it’s one of the few options under my control.

Increased standards on industrial waste cleanup are always a good idea. However a lot of this may be in undeveloped countries

If laundry is a significant source of micro plastics in the environment, we need to figure that out and add filters or something

We really really need to figure out something with tire dust, since it will continue to get worse as more people can afford personal transportation. I did read one article about filtering runoff near roads making a big difference but it was light on details and I’ve only seen something like that once
