I support this but I find it fascinating the steam this can build and quick activism with guides and yet I never see any of this stuff when it comes to political policies

You are completely correct and their comments prove it. The bubble is strong here. But it’s a pretty nice bubble

For me, knowing my spouse’s location is just convenient for knowing ETA without bothering her. It’s not really about trust at all

I know there was a more common everyday wine with pretty low alcohol content and not much to any sweetness. Alcohol was a good way to ensure clean drinking water and naturally keeps out a lot of bad bacteria. That’s why drinking wine is way more common in the Bible AFAIK

https://www.amazon.com/ELUTENG-Enclosure-Protocol-Adapter-External/dp/B08H22BV1N There are dozens like this in all sorts of tech stores. Definitely bigger than a usb driver but not THAT much bigger

It seems to be a huge lottery. I’ve only had one or two fail but that was like 2008. Supposedly there is some sort of data rot or failure rate but I’ve never experienced it. Seems highly random

Would your decision change if the ‘negative thing’ was “this product remains the same and just changed its name back”? It feels like a really strong response, is all. Brand recognition goes a long way, too

I’ve been using the OG tradfri devices since 2017/18 and have been very happy. Reliable, cheap to add a lightbulb or switch. Just works. Even integrated with home assistant v easily

Talk is talk. Any press is good press. Getting millions of people to have an opinion of your brand’s name is a win! I don’t think people think changing the name will hurt its premium nature. But getting the nation to meme about it is pretty fucking solid. Can you do it every year? No. But I don’t think a brand reset is all that dramatic

Yeah, idk. 2005 internet sucked in a lot of ways too. Nostalgia doing a lot of work here

Somehow the idea of a raccoon is scarier to me and always causes me to wake up and start growling like some prehistoric dingus
