I got the same Sunday banner in the middle of the screen similar to where shorts show up. Never in my life have I watched or cared for American football. Clearly a waste of money for the advertising company since I just closed it by pressing the x same as shorts on desktop.

Maybe it’s just a CSV?

It would be a lot easier to compete with though, since Google couldn’t treat it as a loss leader that still bring them in search revenue by default.

Shelly dimmers behave like that. I might have changed a setting here and there in stock firmware but they also integrated into home assistant with an import script someone posted on the HA forums, no need for some app. The ones I have are WiFi though.

Not sure if the UK is similar to where I lived, but they were the worst “cloud” provider I’ve ever used. Want to shut down the instance you had to recreate it with a different OS? Good luck getting it back online as they are out of capacity. Also, if you accidentally deleted one of the default network components it was impossible to recreate it without incurring a cost kind of going against anything you learned about cloud computing and “infrastructure as code”. It was a glorified GUI.

Edit: I’m just glad my current employer does not use anything oracle as their support is also famously bad.

But then Verizon would get some of that money. The pile of shit company that programmed a physical key on your phone next to the scroll wheel to bill you 1.99 a month for the privilege of using 0.00001 MB of data if you accidentally clicked it during the month and it opened their shit “get it now” store. Literally the company that pushed for hostile design back in the 2000s. Fuck them. Fuck Bank of America , Wells Fargo and Comcast. They lost a customer for my entire life due to their shit business practices.

That’s just a train/bus with extra steps and far more risk. Cities with cars as the main mode of transport are still ugly places to live.

Replacement electric toothbrush heads run on the same scheme as disposable razors with high margins and vendor lock in. I’ve also seen vendors (Phillips) change the design to force you to buy another base station/brush.

It’s shit for automating things and especially useless outside the Apple ecosystem, but it does offer the option to turn off sharing.

Apple ID -> Find My -> Share My Location

Since it’s closed source it’s possible they still capture the location and I would t trust it, but in practice anyone that you’ve allowed to see your location (for an hour, day, while on-route) gets a “location unknown” on their app of the toggle is off.
