+1 for Home Assistant
I have it running on a Pi 5 (although a Pi 4 is more then enough), with a 15€ USB ZigBee antenna from AliExpress (to connect IKEA devices).
The best thing about it is that it seamlessly integrates all devices with each other, so you can use cheap ZigBee buttons to control your Philipps Hue lightbulbs, for example.
True, but adding a light switch still doesn’t prevent their roommate from opening their app and turning on their lights.

On Windows 11, you can also just drag towards the top, and it’ll give you different snapping options.
Both iPhone and Android have ways to disable biometrics until the next unlock via password/code.
Iirc, on iPhone, it was pushing the power button 5 (or 7?) times. On Android, long press the power button and select “lock”.

The search functions in forums are notoriously terrible though (although someone will inevitably ask you to try using it), so finding anything useful relies on “outside” search engines.
And the linear thread format has been terrible since it was invented (which is probably why discord uses it). You basically need to ignore half the posts to follow the one interesting side line that might end up with a solution.
Heat tolerance will also not help against the increases in storms, floods and wildfires that are directly caused by the heat increases.
Summer being 110°F is not even in the top 10 of why climate change is bad.

Its time to disrupt the system.English0·2 months agoOne thing Amazon is better at (at least here in Germany) is free shipping. But seeing how that is a least partially responsible for creating a cutthroat delivery market, where companies contract out delivery work to barely self-employed drivers for barely any money, paying for shipping doesn’t seem like a bad idea (even though I know the drivers won’t really see any of that money in the end)

Overly broad rules might make that fall under satire, which is why caution is advised when devising such rules.

And then someone from HBO contacts you about commissioning a picture of John Oliver as a horny otter in skintight jorts.
Do you not have to actually use patents to keep them?
bob_lemon@feddit.orgto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The official way to chat with the European Union is with.... FacebookEnglish27·3 months agoI would go one step further and require all companies to provide an email address that must be clearly listed on a “contact” page, including a PGP public key to allow for encryption if desired.
If they want people to use their chat bot, the chat bot just needs to actually be good.

Musk being a Nazi caused him to do the Nazi salute, not the other way around.
In this AU, the statue of liberty was a gift from Italy rather than France. It’s a Roman salute.
bob_lemon@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are you going to do, no matter how small, to make the world a little better?9·6 months agoI think the easiest way to get started is StreetComplete: https://streetcomplete.app/
It will show you places in your vicinity where information is missing, like opening hours of shops, or the existence of ramps at stairs, and you can provide them in a really simple interface. You can filter out questions you don’t like to answer as well.
bob_lemon@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What piece of media would you like adapted to another?6·6 months agoI want an animated show of the Stormlight Archives. Something in the style of the Netflix Castlevania series or similar. I don’t think a live action show could do it justice without an insane budget.
If the airport needs more baggage handlers on staff because there’s heavy 2 person luggage or just more luggage, they indirectly do get the money, because that’s how wages work.
Although I’m sure that the airline will pocket some of the fee, which is obviously not cool, but that’s capitalism for you.
