  We have it hidden in the letterbox. The mobile app has a Bluetooth beacon setting where you can have it report either specified beacons to HA, or all of them and you can filter for the ones you want at that end.

  The automation looks for the beacon to be reported from either of 2 devices and then switches the lights on, quite basic.

  We have a separate automation that turns the scanning for beacons setting in the phone app on at dusk and off at 3am. And another that turns the garden lights off after 10 min triggered by them being switched on

  Yes we have several of the AthomTech ones that ship with Esphome. There’s a power loss setting on them “on, off, as before”

  Yeah we use it with home assistant, and Bluetooth beacons to turn on the garden lights when we get home, and turn on interior lights if neither of us are marked as home. Also turn on the electric blanket if we are out and heading towards home after 9pm. Also the person detection camera only alerts us if we aren’t home.

  I tend to say something along the lines of “what’s your problem?”

  Gives an opening to hear more without committing, and makes it clear it’s still THEIR problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that necessary for plastic? The name comes from the Greek for “to mould”. For me, anything that makes long chain mouldable polymers is a plastic. Milk makes Casein or Galalith plastic, PLA is commonly made of corn. There’s a ton of bamboo fabrics that are essentially nylon made from cellulose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a lot of sodium in most fizzy drinks, wonder if that rules them out for this. Or does it have to be sodium chloride specifically?

  I tend to solder at around 350C, so that’s entirely possible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heat setting magnets is bad.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just stack the magnets first to get them all in the same polarity, and insert them, using the stack to push it into the hole, with a press fit they won’t jump out

  It doesn’t vary by client much, there’s a baseline of expectations that what you deliver can be further worked on by anyone using the software that 95% of the industry is using.

  Dammit, I’m familiar with using kbuntu desktop at work for years and am wanting to try Linux at home, but it’s sad to hear I’d have a steeper learning curve

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more about ingesting their house design guide in proprietary formats. But you will also be contractually obliged to deliver back working files along with the final deliverables, and they will specify formats and versions.

  I take it they are handing the camping equipment. Take enough warm things, you are in the elements all night. You will spend a fair bit of time sitting around in nature talking shit. Take some booze / weed to help conversation flow into weird places. Snacks as per above.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Abs needs an enclose vented to the outside, or really good ventilation. The ‘S’ in ABS stands for styrene, a fairly potent carcinogen and irritant. Do NOT print it in your living area as it off gasses while printing.

  All other plastics you can print on the A1 will be safer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve printed plenty of different mid density tpu’s including random no name ones with generic profiles, using the Prusa Mini with its Bowden tube. It’s not always a no no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your bath mat situation?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife and I shower together, someone is getting out sopping wet because either the other one is still going or there’s just not enough room to both dry in the shower. Heated floor dries the bath mat just as well as the towel rail anyway

  It’s more about pressure than airflow. You just need negative pressure inside the chamber, so gas escapes into your chamber through the cracks, and out the vent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good ear protection for concerts.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I prefer a 20db cut that’s flat across frequencys. Most audio engineer plugs like the etymotic range aim for that midpoint.

  If I’m chainsawing, it’s big muffling 30db cut earmuffs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good ear protection for concerts.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using these for years for concerts, gym classes and always take spares to festivals to give to friends. They are designed for an even 20db cut when listening to music. They have the same fit as the cheaper ER20 but the xs have clearer top end.

  I use them 3x a week and have a few pairs. They don’t last forever as the baffles get softer over time. At $40 they last me a year which is pretty good value.
