Alla som är överraskade räcker upp en hand.

Ingen?

The fuck? Way to flush the credibility they built down the drain.

Could be different revisions or something. At the time I discovered other people having the identical problem.

Adding to the list, I've got several IKEA lightbulbs (the dimmable white colour temperature ones) and a few sensors (door/window, climate) that work well. Can't recommend the IKEA remote control thingy because it just stopped working and nothing could bring it back up. The support didn't sound surprised and refunded it no questions asked though so that's good.

And I've got plenty of generic tuya switches and sensors (door/window, climate, water leak etc), both old WiFi ones that are flashed with ESPHome and newer ones on ZigBee from Ali. So far they all work great.

(With the exception that I killed one and then a replacement switch by having them power a tiny LED light. Counterintuitively it seems like a thing that can wear a cheap design smart switch out if the load is too small and something something I got it explained to me by someone that understands electric circuits but now it is gone again.)

I have everything running in Home Assistant on a repurposed old NAS with a Sonoff USB ZigBee stick.

Rage baiting for the inauguration hoping democrats will act like MAGA four years ago so he can declare martial law and be dictator forever and ever?

It's pretty distant now, but I did imagine it from a user perspective to be something like a folder structure except you can "tag along" as you go, so that you can find the files from your subjective chain of association rather than remembering how the project is set up. Say to reach the file;

  • /project/year/keyword 1/keyword 2/file
  • /keyword 2/year/project/keyword 3/file

Consequently, you could have all relevant files collected or filtered depending on how you set up your paths like searching a database rather than keep track of different data structures of different department needs and such.

So you could call it a mind map of sorts.

My entry level experiments were with just "tags" (the keywords) but I imagined a file system that would incorporate everything filesystem like permissions, creation/modification dates, and next gen like file history, integration with custom content parsing and version control systems and stuff that are partially reality today with COW filesystems.

Oh, how interesting. Yeah, I did some very basic prototyping with a WebDAW (online storage technology that was popular by the time), but I was mostly interested in the concept that the actual execution of it. And I didn't have massive amounts of data in numerous files so no practical motivation either.

Watched the first video. Interesting.

Reminds me of when I realized some twenty years ago that hierarchical filesystems are just a convention and I was daydreaming about a dynamic database-like filesystem where files are stored with meta data in tags that could be addressed according to whatever your chain of association may be. I even conceptual a bridge of how common OS like Windows or Linux could connect and interface such a file system using the familiar system of slashes transparently for the user with all the benefits and none of additional complicated learning. Of course this was way beyond any technical scope of mine and I didn't bring it to attention beyond nerdy beer conversation.

Maybe I was on to something.

We have new version out!

Oh, that's good I guess. So... what's new?

We can not tell you yet.

Would I be pretty and daft enough to not overthink and complicate everything and to finally be happy?

Ok then. Let me be a himbo. The ladies may take advantage.

Not very, unless the nazis I'm reminding people that every day is punch one of manage to wheezingly waddle up from the basement and attempt to do something about it despite my genes being more pure norse whitey aryan than they could ever dream of so attempts of me life would just be another proof of my superior intellectual reasoning to their simplistic racism tribalism.

 

I'm thinking that hanging still doesn't stress the fiber but possibly makes it stiff and brittle while a gentle motion caused a small wear but keeps the textile flexible. Any material science people in the house?

I think everybody needs one today

 

Edit; I'm not asking what the 90s were like because I was there. I'm thinking what the pastiche of the 90s would be like should it have a revival like the 80s one that is nothing like the real 1980s by young people that presumably only have vague ideas from magazines and music and movies to go by. Like for example if it takes off from grunge but not like it was then but like it is idealised by kids today, what would it be like? What else was a 90s thing? Boy bands and indie pop mixed together on MTV? Hardcore techno and jungle/dnb with it's own analogue distribution channels by mail, flyers, mixtapes? Last generation of B-movies with practical effects shot on film before that part of the industry degraded into C-tier on digital with terrible CGI in the 00s? Mainstream pop culture, whatever that was? Television and radio, magazines and records before the internet took off? How would any or all of that be reimagined by people that didn't live it back then? I had no interest then nor do I have today for fashion magazines so if somebody knows I'd love to hear your twist on the topic.

 

I enjoy the 1900s Avant Garde and experimental music.

Then again I'm also not joyful but abstract and dense.

 

Because what monster of a henchperson would not hang the frame back up after checking it out.

 

Wardrobes and sets that look like 1980s magazines and catalogues but not like 1980s real life, palette with deep blacks and super saturated accents, post processing as if shot on film with optical lens effects and distributed on magnetic video tape though obviously shot and edited one hundred percent digital, modern synthwave heavy soundtrack, titles in red text on black background... You know the entire package. It's starting to feel lazy. For some reason it seems to be the aspiring young directors first feature length flick for the last few years or so. Damn I'd be more impressed by retro theming be the 90s or 00s that should be these directors genuine era of nostalgia.
