It seems to be a soft paywall because I only get the pop up if I disable AdGuard. You should install an ad blocker.

Most of the results after the first page on Google are usually the same as the usable results, just mirrored on some shady site full of ads and malware.

Smart bulbs are fine and the only solution if you want more than just dimming. Just make sure to also use a smart switch or relay that can be set to control the smart functions without actually cutting the power to the bulbs. The main problem with smart bulbs is when someone uses the physical switch and shuts off the power to the bulbs themselves.

Yeah I got those ads multiple times last night along with a random maga conspiracy ad about how a bad event is happening soon and everyone should buy gas masks.

This isn’t about the weight sensors, it’s using “computer vision” to detect you didn’t scan something and forces employees to get involved.

All the Walmarts I’ve been to have the bagging area weight sensors turned off. It seems the local grocery store finally turned theirs off because using a reusable bag used to set it off.

A lot of sites have a “jump to recipe “ button so you can skip their life story.

At this point the best we can hope for is someone least likely to cause a government shutdown.

If Verizon is good where you are look at us mobile. “Warp 5g” is Verizon. The gsm carrier they offer is T-Mobile. There’s also visible but they’re owned by Verizon.

I’m paying $190 For 9 lines. I’ll be opting out if they try to swap me, at an additional $10 per line it’d be cheaper to do prepaid on Verizon through us mobile or visible. The other postpaid carriers prices are too high compared even to the more expensive plan T-Mobile would swap me to because my T-Mobile plan includes taxes and fees.

Same here, I have 3 instances blocked and don’t really see tankie crap. Just tons of spam.

You can connect the ecobee to home assistant using HomeKit which runs local. I’ve got a nest and google once got rid of the api over a year before having a replacement ready so anything local is no go with them.

I can see why you wouldn’t like that, it is unprofessional to be saying it to the patients. I could see telling them to be careful because they don’t want to end up staying in the hospital longer but the paperwork thing should really only be said to employees.
