The trick is to buy reasonably open devices, then provide the smarts yourself.
If it can talk to / be configured by HomeAssistant, and doesn’t require internet to work, it’ll probably be fine.

That’s indeed useful information!
My boiler control for the central heating has the very useful function of a 30 minute button.
Which means even if I torpedoed HA in the middle of winter, I could still get the house warm.


On the plus side, you can often position your cup in the often un-mixed stream to get more syrup.


Where I live, there is no restriction (other than the standard policed ones) on using amps etc.
This means on a 500m pedestrianised high-street, every Saturday is 6+ separate people making noise.
It gets unbearable, because while one in ten is actually half decent, the other nine are cranking the backing track up as loud as possible to get some people paying attention.
I don’t live in London, but am I correct in thinking that TFL made people do auditions for busking spots on the tube?
That seemed to be a neat way to improve the quality. And did make me laugh the one time I had to wait just outside a station, then realised that the busker was playing the most well known 30 seconds from Wonderwall over and over.
I’ve genuinely considered moving there.
They have a radio station, and it’s run by the chillest guy ever. Just playing tunes, and chatting between.


Seeing the photos, and having been around way too many deceased estate properties, I can instantly smell the whole place.
Damp, old plaster, manky carpets, and the bathroom that smells faintly of old wee and Imperial Leather.


Snip, Snap, Snip, Snap.
Or in a similar vein, the ship’s cat has evolved into a suave humanoid with impeccable taste in fashion.


Was the MSP in the environment at the time?


Alleyway of origin, more like.


I think I’ve said before; If I can’t be certain of the origin of the chicken, I just won’t eat it in the future.


I would consider teaching, if it wasn’t paid/worked like a passion job.
Overworked, underpaid, and any push-back inconveniences the kids, so you feel guilty.


This is a bit pathetic.
And we well know that appeasement of Drumpf achieves nothing; They’ll be back on the moment anything vaguely uk-related annoys him.
Sounds like a 6 ohm resistor solution.


Imagine if they introduced a law, that if you had defaulted on your student loans, you were not able to get a passport.
That would reduce the number of highly skilled people leaving the country if it got really shit.


Rawl brand have these notes on the plastic, which I think is neat.
Brown plug, 7mm hole, 5-6mm screw.
Even a little gauge to go with it.



I can agree with this: All the hype around KCD:2 led me to buying/playing KCD:1


Kinda crazy, because W7 didn’t support first gen Ryzen either!

Downright feudal at the end, though! Just gotta hope you’re a rich/lucky landowner.
A little late to the party, but yes, I can confirm that Hue bulbs can be controlled directly over zigbee. You will need a zigbee radio if you haven’t already bought one (£20-ish).
They literally just appear like a zigbee device inside that integration.
You may need to reset them before they will pair.
I forget the pattern, but iirc it’s on 2s, off 8s, repeated until you see an acknowledgement flash.
Sometimes, you’ll get one that takes forever, then the next bunch will just hop right on.
I have several Hue hubs I still need to offload, as I sometimes buy the combo packs that include another hub.
I also found that the response time was a lot quicker over direct zigbee than farting around with Signiant/Philips’ API.
