So the automation is triggered if the power draw is above a certain amount? I assume there is a smart plug? Or is it a dishwasher with Wifi? Forgive me still learning how these things work.

I'm upset you beat me to this!

Modern controller design has truly missed the mark

Yeah exactly, well said. I think for a lot of people the advent of paywalls felt like taking away a free thing, instead of a return to the norm. Personally when it comes to journalism I prefer a paywall to advertiser-supported.

The argument that paywalls somehow ruin the open parts of the Web always fell flat for me. It is trivial to contribute to the Web for free if one wishes. Nobody is forced to paywall their content.

Yeah, nine times out of ten someone who wants "free speech" on the web means they want to force others to listen.

The nice thing about Fedi is that slur-loving people can have their space that allows slurs, but people who don't want slurs can de-federate.

It doesn't really improve productivity much for me. And if you take into account the emails I receive from coworkers written with copilot then I'm actually doing more work to decipher what they are trying to say.

Looks great, can old Google location data be imported?

John Oliver did a deep dive into her recently. It's not good. She brands herself as a moderate but is essentially in lockstep with most MAGA views. The owners of CBS are gutting everything that's left of the storied CBS brand to enrich themselves.
