The final straw was in whatever stupid mode it got itself into, we could not even FORCE the boiler to make hot water, by pushing what is meant to be a manual override button. And my wife wanted to go for a shower.

So, that's the end of that shitty chapter. I'm glad that at least it wasn't a long chapter.

Disrecommend Hive.

If you move into a new house, don't try and fucking take over an old system. Rip it out.

Remember when programmer timers... didn't require and app, which required an email address, mobile number, etc etc etc? Remember those days?

This ordeal started with "hmm I really should figure out the hot water scheduling, as, frankly, it hasn't been reliable and we've been using boost a lot".

And ended with, "this is unusable trash".

Genuinely may temporarily put this in its place :

I bought an even simpler one, works brilliantly even with no internet.

I had a similar experience with a hive. Plus i didn't trust upnp to something I have zero control over.

@Extelec Is it the usual 433MHz simple RF protocol style, or something a little fancier e.g. Zigbee?
I think the Hive is meant to be Zigbee but they stuck some proprietary nonsense on top.

Found a channel full of vintage computing furries, invite someone I know there that works at the local particle accelerator because he has access to some cool, old tech. Fairly niche. A discussion starts in the channel only for another furry who works at a particle accelerator across the country to begin sharing their work, too.

The fandom is amazing.

Hey remember what I was saying about how Cohost was going to announce they were closing and only THEN start work on export tools for people's posts, which I guarantee they will not do because as of today they're already no longer paying themselves, and there's no way they're going to work on the site that hard when they find other jobs?

Yeah, this is just the start of the ride. Keep watching what happens from here.

If Labour had any sense they wouldโ€™ve got Ed Miliband to make a move to immediately reform the electricity market so that wholesale prices arenโ€™t largely determined by the price of gas fired generation. A bold but long overdue move would potentially halve the domestic unit rate, with an immediate win for inflation, and render the whole question of the winter payment moot. That wouldโ€™ve been smart joined up strategy benefitting everyone. Doesnโ€™t look like theyโ€™re capable of that.

Some of this stuff is a risk for all cars as we head towards an ever more computerized future. Not only that, but imagine millions of vehicles with outdated firmware, collecting data on us for years and becoming more and more vulnerable to hacking as they age.

The future is a Black Mirror episode, and it sucks.

All done, phew. Now I can get on with things again! Imminent appointments always make it hard to do anything else.

As much as I like that computers have gotten a lot more accessible to people, I still wish that people on the whole had gotten more computer literate and tech savvy instead of computing becoming what it is now. Computers making things easier for users often comes with vendor lock-in and things "that just work" all only just working because they're from the same manufacturer.

Also people seem pretty incapable of learning new tech and different workflows now which is... frustrating. We used to use raw HTML on our MySpace pages. :blobfoxdizzy:

Oh wow, LinkedIn is the worst... They have suspended my account, due to "suspicious activity" (aka me getting annoyed with all the notifications and therefore not using it for several weeks). To recover the account, they want me to submit a photo of my ID, and I am obviously not doing that. So, the next step is account deletion: The only documented process is through the account settings, but I am not able to access these, since I am prohibited from logging in. But not all hope is lost: Thanks to the power of the GDPR, we can submit a data deletion request. Unfortunately, submitting the form fails with an error, and I get redirected to a help article that describes how I can send them a picture of my ID. What a weird coincidence...

Today, I replaced two double mains sockets in the bedrooms (one by my dad's bed, one next to mine) with double sockets with built-in USB power ports, tested all four of the TV sockets scattered around the house (they all work), and also scooped nearly half a bucket of mossy slop out of the gutter on the front of the garage. Home ownership is phun.

Disclaimer: While I'm sure it's lovely, I have yet to actually use Postgres. I've just never had the push to do so yet โ€” everything I've used so far has wanted MySQL (or SQLite, orโ€ฆ). Also, I wish I had the energy to pick up new things like I used to.
