Det var en god start at være tilstede på Facebook og Twitter. For at få god kommunikation, må man møde folk hvor de er.

Men nu må vi erkende, at de platforme hvor folk er, ikke er gode nok. DR har allerede droppet Twitter/X, og der er gode argumenter for at droppe Facebook. Men hvis DR dropper Facebook, så er der jo ikke noget tilbage.

Her mener jeg at netop en public service kan gå foran, i denne kylling/æg situation.

1. DR er tilstede hvor folk er, så længe det kan forsvares, i den grad det kan forsvares

2. DR går foran med at være tilstede på nye decentrale platforme uden kommercielle interesser. Fx ved at opsætte deres egne servere med Lemmy, Mastodont eller hvad der nu kan være relevant.

Det er ikke sikkert det bliver en succes, især er det ret usandsynligt at alle tiltag bliver en succes. Men så har DR gjort sin del.

Forever is a long time. I'm sad I won't get upgrades, but I didn't expect any when I bought it. I'll be fine for a while.

When I feel that big an itch for a new thing, I'll buy a new thing. Probably something Prusa branded.

I assume it does. If I had a big problem with that, I wouldn't have connected it to the internet in the first place.

However, the talk about disabling printers without this update makes me think I should probably block it.

I wouldn't buy a new Bambu now. But the one I have has a LAN only option, and i assume it will keep it as long as I don't upgrade my firmware.

I don't see how they would disable my printer without updating firmware. Maybe I should block all internet communication just to be sure.

But this particular RFID has some sort of encryption-something, that means that other companies can't make them.

I don't like it, but since I can still use other brands without the convenience of RFID tags, it's not a deal-breaker.

I care. I bought Bambu anyway, because there's a LAN only option. I enabled it today. I am also not going to upgrade firmware.

- Okay, are you two whales from London?

I believe it does.

Here in Denmark, it's legal to circumvent piracy protection, if the purpose is to legally use the product.

The example that was used in the media when this was new, is when you buy a DVD and want to play it on a PC instead of a DVD player. Usually piracy protection would stop it from working on a PC. Of course the circumvention also makes it easy to make and distribute a pirate copy.

So the ability to use the product in the way the customer choose (within reason), is weighted higher than stopping piracy a little.

Sorry for being inaccurate, I said "bulbs" but it's actually a mix of bulbs, spotlights and panels. I'm okay with any form factor that fits the situation.

That said, I haven't had any issues with bulbs. The shape is practical due to history, meaning there's a very wide selection of lamps etc.

For both bulbs and spots I tend to go with "several". I have very few places with just one bulb, it's usually 2, 3 or 4 bulbs in a lamp, and up to 9 spots. This means that they rarely need to go full power, and that should make them last longer. I haven't had any dying on me yet.

I don't know if this is exact enough, but I use IKEA switches and IKEA or other ZigBee bulbs.

The switches looks like a different brand of paddle switches. They work like "dumb" paddle switches as a starting point, and then you build smartness on top of that.

If you do it right, they also work when internet is down and your server is crashed. Actually this is how they work out of the box. (I think the bridge must be powered on, but if you don't have power...)

That's fine, but I'm opposite. When I moved to a different house, smart lighting was the first thing I did, requested by everyone in the family.

Just the fact the light switches are wireless and can be positioned wherever I want then is gold, specially in an older house where things has been moved around so much that the switches locations doesn't make sense anymore.

Specially in the bedrooms, kids and adults like that the magnetic buttons are movable.

Also, the family in the car leaving the house and I notice a light is on - I can just continue driving while we turn it off. And this is just remote control. Even smarter is when the house recognized that everybody left, and I get a notification that some stuff is still in, with a button to turn it off.

The hallway connecting almost every room on the floor has two switches. None of them are near a bedroom or a bathroom. Or in use. A motion sensor and schedule switches the lights between "almost off", "day" and "night". Nobody ever thinks about the light switches, nobody walks around in the darkness or gets blinded at night.

In the living room I have scenes for the TV area.

• Teatime: Slightly dimmed light on the table, brighter light on the wall decorations.
• Board games: Bright light on the table, slightly dimmed light on the walls.
• Movie: No light on the table, very dim light on the walls. Increase brightness when the movie is paused.
• Night: A single bulb on lowest setting, so that one kid can see that there's no monsters while walking by at night.
