It’s 5 volts no matter where you are because you charge it via USB.

I’ll ship one to you if you want

You’d be surprised at how many phones don’t have enough accelerometers to know their full orientation in space. Compass, NFC, and barometer are also not givens.

Not multistage, but it’s a heat pump with auxiliary heat. I have multiple zones controlled by dampers, too, soni have two of these thermostats.

I bought a Honeywell Z-Wave thermostat because I have a more complicated HVAC setup than the typical American home. It was one of the few I could find that was compliant with a home automation protocol that didn’t require something that announced its existence to the Internet. It’s been solidly reliable, replacing my dead Nest thermostat.

The thermostat:

If Google assistant ends up dying this is the way I’ll be going with. I’ve already got HA up, I’m just using stuff that predates my HA setup.

I just want the LG G5 back. It had a(n):

• Removable battery
• SD card slot
• Infrared blaster
• FM Radio
• 3.5mm jack
• Compass
• Barometer
• Gyro
• NFC
• Fingerprint reader

And a ton of other stuff. Truly the best android phone ever made

Closest I can find now is the Ulefone line (no removable battery) but I have no idea if they’re decent phones or not.

Ah yes, let me scrounge around for the remote someone else in my ADHD household last had in their hand 45 minutes ago and has no idea what they did with it.

Meanwhile, my small child is coming downstairs for a glass of water while we’re watching Hereditary for the first time. The Roku app is a pile of garbage and won’t connect to my device fast enough, it just shows loading animations. So I just have to cut the power to the TV while I look for the remote.

Hypothetically, of course.

Just because you can’t imagine a scenario where it’s convenient doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

No need for this. A Z-Wave or Zigbee thermostat does the same thing.

I have three lights that were wired to one switch. With smart bulbs, I can individually turn them on and off or dim them. No “dumb” solution exists for homes that were wired in a stupid way. This isn’t a niche application, it’s a common reality.

I’ll say what I’ve been saying for 9 years: I’ll believe it when I see it.

You burning out is a process failure. Work normal hours and let shit fail 🤷‍♂️. Say the reduction in hours is “health related” so they can’t pry.

Forgot about this one. I loved this phone back in the day. Remember when it would say DROID when you booted it up?

The LG Env2 would have been the perfect smartphone form factor, change my view.

Pink pony club gets stuck in my head all the time, especially since I first heard it as an AI cover in Plankton’s voice.

Cool, now provide solutions that exist today for every other country

I always leave my project in a state where it doesn’t compile or run (not commits, obvs) so I’m forced back into understanding exactly what I was doing when I left off to fix the error.

It does get stuck in a rut sometimes. If you kill the app and come back to it lsome time ater, that signals that they need to shake things up so your “randomness factor” (my term) gets boosted the next time you start scrolling.

I have kids. I don’t see how that’s relevant here.

Children shouldn’t have social media accounts in my opinion. Nothing to attack or break into if it doesn’t exist.

A coworker shouldn’t know enough or otherwise have enough access to your child such that they can break into their accounts.

Failing all that, parents need to have frank discussions about the potential dangers of internet fans turning into real life people, and some of the more severe potential consequences.

Even without those three layers of failure, your kids need to know about basic online account security, like using unique strong passwords and two factor authentication.

That all being said- I don’t know the people or the situation. But from your short account of things that’s what I see as wrong with the situation.

In general, the social networks of today are optimized for extracting value and attention from adult brains; an incomplete adolescent brain stands no chance.

Kids can still socialize electronically just fine in group chats with the advent of RCS implementation on both major phone platforms.

Not sure what kids in cages have to do with anything or why they were mentioned.

If making Mr Weebl laugh at my TikTok comments is wrong I don’t wanna be right.
