Gotcha gotcha, yeah I think I see what you mean in terms of boxiness?

Perfect, good to hear that! What year was your vehicle?

100

Oh no! This is for my parents

100

Have a second vehicle, fingers crossed that won't happen though

I'm confused, I thought the EV6 was more of a car? The EV5 looks more like SUV to SUV?

Hyundai Ioniq 5 or KIA EV5 and why? (R2 isn't available in Canada and don't want a Tesla)

I really hope Xteink gets to making a full 6 inch e-reader (and adds back USB-C). Love their design language

I cut a really rotten tree down and now I feel terrible

It's sitting right beside me! :p This was pre-RAMpocalypse

Quite grateful I picked up an M4 Mac mini for $300 on marketplace earlier

Forgot my phone at IKEA, went back to a few employees passing it back and forth going "it's so thin what the heck" The iPhone Air isn't a perfect phone but times like that make it worth it

Yeah, they're super nice for having your light's color temperature adjust over the course of the day, so you have nice sunlight color at noon in rooms and then warmer light as you get closer to bed

If Lutron supported smart bulbs (it's 2026!) I'd almost certainly just go with them

Took the common recommendation and got the Inovelli White smart switch. Beautiful and love the LED bar, but the paddle sometimes doesn't respond, seems like an unfortunately wide spread issue (and a dealbreaker) for such an expensive switch. Zooz next? community.inovelli.com/t/consider-...

Ah no, I admittedly (outside of vision issues) am curious how the light itself isn’t just the better indicator of that?

000

Thats awesome to know, dang I was hoping I was wrong about the second part though

100

Lutron’s is close, but I don’t want more battery things to manage, and don’t love that the whole button seemingly isn’t pressable just the middle

150

Haha I know what you mean we had them growing up too but just seemed normal

000

It’s… a big button. Press it 😛

As far as smart home light switches go, why aren't rotary dials more common in North America? Obvious on/off toggle, can't get "out of sync", even easier dimming than paddles, long-press actions, etc. Is there a downside beyond convention? (I'm aware of Lutron's janky one)

Rotary dimmer switch, just a circular button you can press or rotate

Article - Investigating microplastic release from plastic grinder heads during salt grinding. - Nutrition Evidence Database

A lot of mills add a substantial amount of microplastics to whatever you're eating which I'd rather avoid nutrition-evidence.com/article/5484... Even the ones with metal grinders have had plastic internal bits break off and get ground into your dinner: www.commentreparer.com/73330/Appare...

nutrition-evidence.com

Microplastic contamination of table salt has been widely reported, but most studies focus on environmental sources rather than microplastic release from food-contact materials under routine household ...

hahaha you got it figured out!

020

It's so nice but so expensive and loses a few points for not being *entirely* plastic free

110

Yeah but we're doing a new build and I'd rather build something from the get-go that doesn't require ongoing battery replacements at every light fixture :/

Looking to avoid batteries as much as possible but that is cool!
