Not going to argue with that. Sure, there's the clearly visible enshittification that's easy to plaster over, but there's also the deep stuff. My point was more that trying to explain away the visible part of the iceberg doesn't make the underwater part disappear.

Isn't the point behind enshittification precisely that the average user barely notices? Like with dark patterns for example. Under that premise, trying to disprove enshittification via aggregate numbers seems like a bit of a fool's errand.

I'm starting to think we need a word for the phenomenon where people hand off bugfixing entirely to AI without understanding why the error occurs. So the real architectural problem is never addressed and the bug is quietly reintroduced again two releases later. Is "sloplocity" taken yet?

A confession: I don't watch Youtube videos with the stupid little pointy arrows and/or exaggerated facial expressions in the thumbnail, no matter how close to my interests the subject matter may be. I know why they do it. I know this is extremely petty and stupid of me. But I just *hate* it.

IMO this is part of the wider problem that most people still don't really have an intuitive sense for digital product safety in the same way they do for physical products.

That phrasing ignores the problem that Grok is an inherently unsafe product lacking industry-standard safeguards. Blaming the product is common phrasing with "conventional" unsafe products like lawn darts for example.

Two of the pins are intended to connect to NCTs (as temperature sensors). However, the elements are not actually present. So either it was determined during the design process that temperature sensing is not necessary or the LED board is used for multiple different products.

JK @jk8051.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
In terms of the overall design philosophy, it's interesting that this board has absolutely no logic at all. Just the LEDs and a single zero-Ohm resistor. The RGB pins are just straight-up connected to the corresponding LEDs.

Removing the second, internal diffuser reveals the colour LEDs and the other side of the 8-pin connector. Notably, the board does not use multi-coloured LEDs. Instead, there are 12 monochrome LEDs (4 R, 4 G, 4B), presumably in an effort to keep the cost as low as possible.
Picture of the LED board with the frosted internal diffuser removed. Under the diffuser, we see the other side of the 8-pin connector, as well as 12 further LEDs. Instead of multi-colour LEDs, there are four red, four green, and four blue monochrome LEDs.

JK @jk8051.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
The rear of the board is covered in aluminium (and thermal paste) to better conduct heat away from the LEDs. Note the 8-pin connector at the top. This links the LED board to the rest of the lamp electronics.

With the outer diffuser removed, we can see the board carrying the LEDs. The outer ring of LEDs is warm white. The frosted dome in the center covers the RGB LEDs.

While Zigbee Light Link is technically an open standard, these kinds of lights are primarily sold as cheap extensions to an already existing Philips Hue setup. Ledvance was spun out off the German lighting manufacturer Osram in the mid-2010s. These days, they are owned to 100% by Chinese investors.

It is September 1939. A hostile, aggressive, imperialistic foreign power has violated the borders of Poland with wanton disregard for international norms and practices. Europe, in the midst of an arms buildup, feels incapable of standing up to the aggressor.
