- Comment on The Internet's Biggest Annoyance:Why Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites 5 days ago:
Not in any case I’ve ever seen. The reject all button started showing up for US users immediately after GDPR was passed and it’s only gotten more prevalent since then. Trying to figure out a person’s location is pointless cause they could be using a VPN and that won’t absolve you from following the law.

Yeah i don’t use android though and not gonna spend time on a jailbreak anymore so I’m just using the app.

I would rather a toggle that permanently disables the button on the bottom so it’s never ever possible to click ever again.
- Comment on The Internet's Biggest Annoyance:Why Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites 6 days ago:
Most people do the same thing: they sigh, their eyes glaze over, and they click “Accept All” with the muscle memory of a weary soldier.
Who the fuck would do this when there’s a “Reject All” button right there. Like, if a contract allows you to opt out of something you should pretty much always do it.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 6 days ago:
I don’t do the first two, and I wash them weekly. My home assistant stuff never needs maintenance, so no I’d wager that if I set it up locally it would work fine if the software was stable. But you said that’s when you’d do maintenance, at bedtime, which is also not when you’d be making the bed or fluffing the pillows or washing the sheets.
- Comment on ISP tricked customers about fiber optics being used in their internet service, German court rules — 'full fiber' customers found to have 'last mile' copper connections 1 week ago:
It’s not technically fiber at all. Your connection is copper, it doesn’t matter how fast the internet downstream is, you will always be limited by the copper.
For those that aren’t sure if you have fiber, the fiber will literally run into your “modem” (your Optical Network Terminal or ONT) and it will be incredibly clear that you have fiber. The wire is incredibly thin and they will warn you about bending it too much. If you don’t have that then you don’t have fiber.

And I’m begging people to stop with the fucking “nobody” idiocy. It’s just saying the implicit joke out loud. Only kids that don’t understand humor think that’s funny.

Ah dang. I though the nine sleep repo listed the parts but it doesn’t.
Don’t know what version you have but found these photos! imgur.com/a/eight-sleep-pod-2-teardown-hky0334

You should definitely be able to fix the main unit. It’s just a heat pump. The value is the tech in the mattress cover.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 week ago:
Expensive but super worth it. Honestly best improvement to my sleep ever. More so than any new mattress or pillow or sheets or anything else has ever done.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 week ago:
Why would you need to do maintenance at all?
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 week ago:
Huh? It’s the exact same thing as any other electronic in any home assistant smart house. Put firmware on it that you control. Why would you need to do anything about it at night.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 week ago:
You can flash your own firmware if you want.

- They’re losing money on those teams and simplifying their stack will allow them to reduce costs.
- Comment on Intent recognition for HomeAssistant without an LLM? 1 week ago:
Yeah it was relatively recent. I think earlier this year. Can’t remember exactly, it’s been a longgggg year. I never managed to get it integrated with HA and the creator passed away and nobody knew if it was going to get picked up by anyone else so I just fully stopped trying.
- Comment on Intent recognition for HomeAssistant without an LLM? 1 week ago:
Would love to know what you find. I started to use Willow months before the creator passed away and it seemed like the only option available (not the best option, literally the only option due to all the reasons you listed). If you find something I’d love to know.

Did nobody else notice that they’re pointing the bow lower than 45° but the line is drawn slightly upwards up compensate?

I have bazarr set up. So neither of those.

Huh? What issues are you having with subtitles? I use subtitles on almost everything and they’re perfectly fine.

I’ve seen their desiccated corpses in spider webs so I’m pretty sure that’s how they’re dying.
Yes there’s a woodworking shop in my garage lol so that would explain it nicely. Though I’ve never seen them on any of the wood.
- Comment on sadtrombone.wav 2 weeks ago:
Maybe I should word it better. There are many orders of magnitude more animals outside our garage than in it. The spiders are killing the pillbugs and it’s pretty much all the bugs that I ever find in my garage. There aren’t many bugs in Colorado comparatively, so the few that get in are very noticeable.
- Comment on sadtrombone.wav 2 weeks ago:
Well thank you. There aren’t any dead or dying animals in my garage except for other pillbugs 😆. I have to blow it out every few months with an air compressor because there’s so many pillbugs that come in and then die.
- Comment on sadtrombone.wav 2 weeks ago:
Great time to ask if anyone knows why pill bugs/rolly pollies/etc try to come into our garage constantly.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
They didn’t list that. They said “Just reading his blog about how executives should be lazy, enjoying golf and a “long lunch” should give you a hint about what kind of person he is.”
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 weeks ago:
Those things are a far cry from being a nazi. Just because you see a problem with DHH doesn’t mean the majority do.

Mosquitos hardly exist in much of Colorado, so that probably helps them.

Wait. Y’all aren’t taking your phone into the shower with you?
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 3 weeks ago:
That is a common misconception, very often spread all over the place on Reddit. There is no such requirement.
And corporate case law describes directors as fiduciaries who owe duties not only to shareholders but also to the corporate entity itself, and instructs directors to use their powers in “the best interests of the company.”
Serving shareholders’ “best interests” is not the same thing as either maximizing profits, or maximizing shareholder value. “Shareholder value,” for one thing, is a vague objective: No single “shareholder value” can exist, because different shareholders have different values. Some are long-term investors planning to hold stock for years or decades; others are short-term speculators.

That loss affects their stock price, their future outlook, what things they choose to fund, and how much they spend on advertising and trying to recover from this PR disaster.
