1·1年前I like to imagine Firebloom adds a spicy, smoky flavor.
6·1年前Good move. I’ve driven my Sengled E11-N1EA bulbs for years now over ZigBee with an old HubZ HUSBZB-1. Works fine, no regrets. Didn’t even know those bulbs were cloud attached.
5·1年前This is so meta it hurts.
46·1年前Yeah, I know.
Aurora is immutable, I fucked up. Oops.
Edit: unsubscribed. My life will be better.

Grok’s got some jokes.
9·1年前I read this post using the Alexandrite front end on my laptop browser, then I opened Voyager app on my phone and it shows the post as already having been read.
6·1年前And we all get a share!
I don’t use my computers for modern gaming. Like OP, I prefer tabletop games, though I do speed run crossword puzzles and play some PixelDungeon on my phone when I have spare time. I also built a Retropie, and play some old Atari and PS2 roms on a bored Sunday. My stuff can run Civ IV, which is probably the last title I bought.
My main systems are for work, or for supporting self-hosted services including local infrastructure, home lab stuff, email, blogs, home automation, media servers, etc, etc. Lately I’ve been getting into SDR projects using RPi or old laptops.
So, uh… Yeah. Fun stuff, but not so much gaming.
Look into the GE Enbrigjten series of Z-wave dimmer switches & 3-poles. They’re about half the price as what you linked, and use a more modern protocol stack. You’ll need a Z-wave hub, but you can get a USB dongle for about the cost of one of the switches, and it will probably Al’s include ZigBee on board as well.
GE makes dimmable 2-pole and 3-pole switches. The good thing about their 3-pole switches is you only need one smart switch for the branch, and can use companion switches to control the main smart switch over the traveler wire.
As always, pay attention to ALL smart switch literature and make sire you have a compatible load. Many switches require a neutral wire, and/or aren’t compatible with halogen fixtures. The product literature should make it pretty clear.
I also use Minoston switches, which I believe are another brand of the GE switches.

You are asking the right questions. You’re even drawing the right conclusions. Keep pushing.
There have been limits on funding science just for science’s sake. The oversight has been the peer review process: other scientists reviewing grant requests on merit, reviewing methodologies and findings on merit, checking the math, and building of reputations of researchers among peers. If you do good science, you get more grants. If you do shoddy science, you get called out and you get fewer grants.
Yes there was abuse, yes there was waste, yes there was nepotism, yes there was duplication. This was friction on the system, but the system fundamentally worked. It needed to be adjusted, not shattered.
Now the whole thing is being actively upended, and a veritable politburo is being established to decide what science gets funded. Politics entered the chat. Its chilling research, and we in the US are losing one of the benefits of our society, such as it is.
