43 years old here. I can still hear it. I think I put about 10-15 chargers in the bin because of the noise. I also really hate those anti-mosquito ultrasone emittors people put in their yards. I can hear them whenever I walk around the neighborhood.
I have a small collection of Lego sets. I mainly collect the minifigure-scale Star Wars space ships (yes, I have the crazy big Millenium Falcon), but only original trilogy ships. My wife collects the big Lego Creator cars.
That’s harder, but perhaps the new wifi 7 sensing can help in the near future.
Home Assistant can do that. Put a Shelly smart plug in the stove outlet to see if it’s using power (or do you have an old fasioned gas stove?). It can also track what time you turned off your lights last night.
I put a Shelly smart plug in my washing machine outlet. If it detects the machine using power for 30 seconds and then stop using power for 5 minutes, then it sends a signal to Home Assistant, and HA send a notification to my phone. It’s easy.
Home Assistant has a really good basic presence detection: wifi. If you phone is connected to your home wifi network, then you’re home. Else you’re away. Simple. Works. Local only. No extra sensors.
It’s more what he doesn’t say. He’s 20 months and has a vocabulary of about 50-100 words or so. He calls me dada all the time but refuses to call my wife mama. He just calls for her by her name (just like I do 😄)
It’s not about clicks, it’s about attribution. That is also why they all want to track you. It’s not just about targeting ads. If you buy something in a webshop and the advertiser can show that you saw a (related) ad for that somewhere in the last X days/weeks then the sale is attributed to the advertiser and they get paid a fee. That is why they want to track anything and everything. The more data they collect, the higher the chance they can show attribution. No clicks required.
… and I work all day.
There’s a11y and l10n. What else is there?
And what would be left? A few hours of not-so-challenging sailing around to find the boss spawns? It reminds me of this: Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game.
If you want exploration for exploration’s sake, maybe play a game like Elite Dangerous?
I think it would be a lot more boring and less challenging than the current Valheim. And the game is already pretty grindy as it is.
I do traditional woodworking as part of a medieval reenactment group. I also like games with basebuiling elements. Valheim, Minecraft, Ark, Conan Exiles, etc.
Compulsory licensing for streaming should be a thing. It exists for radio, why not video? Let services get 1-2 years of exclusivity. After that it’s fair game for any streaming service to stream it. All services pay into a pool that gets refistributed to the rights holders. We have been doing that for decades for radio, for the EU blank media tax, etc. It’s a solved problem.
Courts have often agreed with shareholders in shareholder lawsuits about such things
The rule is so that you can see what part of the fee is mandated by the government and what part is charged by the ISP. The ISPs are trying to blame price increases on the government. This will show they are lying.
Yup, I remember that 😄
