Yes and no. The one the Nazis used was / is also a symbol used in Asia. (And really, everywhere. It’s a fairly basic pattern.) The Nazis used it because of their obsession with Aryans. Sometimes it’s at an angle, sometimes it’s not.

Generally in the west, unless it’s on a statue of budda, any swastika-ish symbol since the ~1930s is going to be a reference to Nazis though.

Using 18650 batteries is nice. One of the few things I don’t like about the Eufy.

In the US those’ve been almost universally replaced by 401k plans, which I assume is what they’re referring to.

Seconding the t6. It’s been solid and does everything I want in HA.

I even got a rebate from my electric company for the full price of it which might be worth looking into.

I think I’ve mostly run across that with “no neutral” switches FWIW. It was confusing for a bit when setting up my garage.

Also very frustrating info to try and track down when buying sometimes.

Vaulted ceilings exist. Even in new construction there really isn’t a universal answer for this. Different localities have different codes and norms.

* if there’s conduit, or a basement, or an attic

* banned drivers licenses that don’t meet the requirements that have had their implementation date pushed back repeatedly for a decade+. We will do anything and everything but have an actual national ID.

I don’t think any drivers licenses count as proof of citizenship though. (Even before, as noted, factoring in that they’re not looking.)

You don’t even have to show the gold. Just say you saw it and it’s now in that tent over there. No you can’t go in. This is what was written on it though. Oh it’s in a language only I can read. Don’t worry, I’ll translate. Give me your wife.

Yeah lack of third spaces and class mixing is big. Everyone is segregated into their own existing (shrinking) in groups, that then get concentrated by the webiverse.

The 70s oil crisis was an inflection point for Europe and a lot of cities/countries started moving back away from cars as the sole transportation option but the US didn’t have the same reaction.

Cans are actually recyclable. That’s the benefit. The rest is marketing.

Red Bull doesn’t give you wings either.

Something like this ?

If you’re wanting a mirrored classic numpad with the bigger enter/plus I am surprised it seems like an unexplored niche of custom keyboard stuff. Can’t find any atm.

Could probably grab a numpad kit like this and mount the everything on the bottom of the PCB, but you’d need to do some soldering. On the other hand, that kind of kit is generally recommended as a first soldering project.

I settled on a SPH-10BT a few years ago. It didn’t have backup camera support though IIRC there is a radar add-on, but don’t know how available it is anymore.

It seems insane to me, especially with the prevalence of Apple/Android Auto, that no car company is willing to have the phone be the supplemental screen in the car.

That there’s no built-in phone mounts in cars still bugs me. Put wireless charging on a spot on the dash, NFC/Bluetooth to get it to automatically snap into car mode. Don’t have to develop an in-house UI that everyone hates and can focus on making a car.

Fortunately, there is a Tom Scott video.

IIRC it’s not even the only sterilized insects US government air drops from planes. ( Fruit flies over LA? )

They do, but I’ve also seen it the other way around, where the price on Amazon is the price on the manufacturers site plus shipping. Usually for more reputable/niche products. IFixit I would’ve thought would be big/popular enough to do that but I guess not.

IFixit is generally good quality/value in my experience if it’s actually them and not some knockoff/drop shipper. Granted haven’t had a need to buy anything of theirs for years because the one I have keeps being great.

That kit is $40 on their site. Weird that it’s cheaper on Amazon in the first place.

Yeah that’d be brutal on the battery chemistry, probably need a wired sensor. Doesn’t get that cold here but was having similar issues in the negatives. Unfortunately there seem to be less options and they’re more expensive for wired last I looked, but it’s been awhile.

FWIW with zigbee I’ve had better luck with zigbee2MQTT and then using MQTT. If nothing else it made it a lot clearer what was/wasn’t a router and what was just and end device than the native zigbee integration. ( I was getting very frustrated with a less capable no-neutral wall switch. )

Might just be placebo but it feels like there are cheaper/longer batterylife zigbee sensors than there are zwave.

Maybe commercial MQTT? From the wiki it seems like mostly an intermediary protocol to get disparate things working on the same system. Their site is pure marketing garbage for explaining anything about it though.
