Smart lights should be used rarely because they have a failure state. Smart switches are the answer here for most lighting. These are light switches that also have radios in them to connect to zigbee/zwave/matter/whatever to control the switch if the connection is available.

Lutreon sells high quality, but somewhat expensive ones that work flawlessly.

So option 1 I guess.

Way to be mad at 4 billion people because you dont want to be a decent human being.

Very incel-y, but sure.

Or, you could take it as a statement with the subtext that it clearly has, which is “dont approach us if youre going to be an asshole.”

If you would rather stew in bitterness than adjust to the above, the first option is likely better for everyone.

At the same time, lots of men are really shitty when they “approach” women.

“Don’t approach us” is a response to men’s behaviour, not the other way around.

That’s Steve from gamers nexus. They do consumer/prosumer computer hardware reviews, but also deep dives into industry practices, often exposing shady or illegal behavior.

He is lovingly referred to as gamer jesus due his scruffy look, generally affable nature, and habit of trying to right wrongs in the industry.

Kill himself, but also killing the person who used the soulless machine to ape that iconic art style.

Hes killing them through himself. He wants to exact both vengeance and to cease to be at the same time.

Bikeshedding is when instead of making important, compex decisions that have consequences for being wrong, someone focuses on the simple, low impact, minimally important part of a project that has no consequences if its fucked up.

I think the term comes from construction projects where instead of finalizing the design of a complex building, the execs spend the entire time talking about bike parking on site. What color to have the roof, how many bikes it should hold, etc.

Bikeshedding is about offloading responsibility while still feigning involvement. You, the owner, avoid the whole part of your job youre paid for, i.e “making the hard decisions” and through misdirection and inaction, make someone else do it. That way you can blame them later if things go wrong, or take credit for their work if they go right.

I reset my gut biome over the course of a few months. It’s honestly a huge pain in the ass. You have to juggle different ones until you find one that works, and you often wont know that until a couple of weeks of use. You also need to cut out things that don’t interact well like a lot of fake sugars/etc, and often take the probiotics on an empty stomach and wait for a bit to eat, which is inconvenient. This is the one that finally worked for me, but it took 2 months of taking it as recommended.

It did have a marked affect on me though. Solved some long standing stomach issues. I weirdly also started really enjoying pickled foods, something I had been adverse to my entire life. The gut really affects you in odd ways.

These systems disable right before a crash because the national traffic safety org in the US requires manufacturers to report if these systems were engaged during an accident.

It is not for safety or because of a malfunction, it’s for marketing. Car companies dont want the features that they sell for 3-8k coming up all the time in crash statistics.

Tesla is the biggest offender here, likely due to vehicles sold, but also due to their camera only system and their aggressively false “full self driving” and “autopilot” marketing that far over promises.

You give woefully underfunded school IT departments too much credit, especially in the “desktops are new tech” days.

Honestly, sounds like your Mississippi school was ahead of the curve from a lockdown perspective.
