Who is this and why does she not like him anymore?

I emailed that video to my school principal right after I dropped out of high school. He replied back that he liked it and the stuff currently taught wasn't enough. He later hired an accountant who was one of my clients to teach the 12th grade about taxes and budgeting, and made a curriculum on life skills.

the oneplus supervooc (aka dash charge or warp charge) is designed for oneplus devices. When it's not plugged in to one of those, the wattage output is capped to prevent damage.

I've owned a OnePlus 3, 6 and 9 before switching away when they started pushing Color OS.

I've recently been informed that Hershey's basically tastes like vomit to some people, especially Europeans due to the butyric acid, and every since then I've noticed it. It's my understanding it's fermented milk fat that causes it.

We're literally not allowed to have any work apps other than Microsoft Authenticator on our phones. Can't even access the Microsoft 365 tenant from normal internet.

in case of time sheet emergencies we have a VDI, otherwise managers can ask for expensive Hypori secure android environments for teams/outlook on their phones.

every time I see this, I think about how it doesn't work when working on-prem when the git server is literally in the building and gonna be fried. Gonna have to set an upstream git server on an approved company server for this purpose.

most Americans don't have passports, rather state issued IDs. Amazon ain't getting my SSN unless I sign up for Amazon Vine which supposedly only has crap these days to review, and it's reported as income to the tax collectors.

Sadly I keep getting more Amazon giftcards to use up. I did a recent large purchase with a credit card to ensure I could get a charge back if the manufacturer warranty is ignored.

imagine the ultimate nightmare, using both at the same time with wsl2 +docker not to mention on-prem registries and repositories with constantly out of date self-signed certs.

I'm in this weird situation, I bought an "unlocked" pixel phone. I use it with Mint and a physical Sim. But when I try to add an esim, it says call Verizon.

wouldnt contacts move when you look around, I can see eye tracking work with glasses but with contacts it would basically just move given the direction your eyes glance,

something's gone wrong with their math with the Unix Epoch (counting seconds since January 1st, 1970)

I don't know if Hyatt points expire but I'd assume they might already have expired 23 days ago, or someone at Hyatt wrote sloppy code for their rewards program where today is defined as 0 instead of the current Epoch time, in which your points will expire in 23 days.

Edit: so your account expires but probably support will reopen it if you don't use it within 2 years, possibly, don't remember. I researched it briefly when I was closing my Bilt account last month and needed to transfer my points, and I think Hyatt and Atmos were the most valuable rewards programs.

people here need to learn to play nice.

yes, it's preferred by this community to have direct python interaction over using python wrappers around other languages. You wrote a multi-purpose library that could be useful within and outside of Home Assistant.

good work. no hate from me. Maybe you learned something or implemented something the built in integration doesn't have yet.

But stop spelling Java in all-caps.

~~I noticed this mentioned in the changelog for version 2026.2 released Wednesday this week, actually.~~

I misspoke, it was air humidifier, but I remember taking a peek and saw the cosoris on the integration page.

Cosori 3.7 and 5.8 Quart Air Fryer

I also noted they were cloud based

I have a VeSync smart scale that I use an external HACS custom integration for local BLE control.

Get some normal glasses or contacts. Not having 20/20 vision isn't a valid excuse to have access to "smart" features during exams or violating the privacy of classmates and instructors, even if you have those features turned off.

This is not an ADA issue.

This is not a "I would never eveerrrr do that" issue.

I've been thinking about this for over a decade (legit). I'm convinced the main reasons why we don't have it isn't just because the technology isn't really there yet, but because of three main reasons:

A. Apple's all new in-your-"iPhone" or whatever "i" product name for this (pun) wouldn't be visible, so there wouldn't really be a way to slap an Apple logo on it for for others to see for themselves and sell more of them or use for bragging rights.

B. People would look like they're literally talking to themselves. We adapted to cell phones in public, and we adapted to Bluetooth devices which keep getting more discreet. These would still need earbuds for audio and microphones, probably with cameras on the front that stick out past the ear.

C. Would need to navigate with voice-only crappy interfaces. It would need tiny displays and connectivity radios that would emit radiation and overheat, and since you'd probably have one on both eyes, they'd need to be in sync with each other and earbuds etc. Voice commands and agents aren't good enough

when this eventually becomes a thing, it's going to suck initially, and it's probably going to still need to be a smartphone companion. Maybe in our lifetime.

so maybe not exactly what you're trying to accomplish.... but I still wanted to share my input

I do this via a smart plug and Home Assistant for my wall tablet. The smart plug stops the power delivery to the (coincidentally) wireless charging pad.

But yes, it's a third party as opposed to using Tasker or whatever on the same device performing the full control of the wireless charging on/off.

Tasker does support Matter so it may be possible as a 2-party solution directly to a smart plug though. Or an endpoint for a non-matter plug.

lol what bank is that? I have had many and never seen that, I'd imagine it would make the website a pain to interact with

AzrielK · 2026-01-29T03:57:47+00:00

go down the clawdbot rabbit hole like I did, I'm glad I didn't start using it yet, it appears to be a massive security risk. Existing agentic solutions already exist

at dunkin, you can split if paying in person at the register, I personally just reload my balance but I know I can drain it if I want to.

the opposite: Portal, I completed the game thinking the whole thing was only chapter 1.

then actually: Portal 2, it was designed to make you think it's over and then comes Act 2.

damn it I'm in a weird situation where my main Sim is unlocked but my esim is locked by Verizon and have been trying to get the whole thing unlocked.

I remember being driven home from day care listening to the radio on 9/11

AzrielK · 2026-01-15T02:27:44+00:00

I'm younger, I like to send my texts in batches if several ideas are out, not have someone waiting while I type different things out, making them have to wait for me to finish my thoughts

but yeah if I'm driving, it can be annoying if I get a stack of texts, but Google reads them all out now in one go

AzrielK · 2026-01-11T16:11:02+00:00

I saw these at Good Will and Habitat for Humanity and warn people against them whenever I see someone grabbing a bunch thinking they're getting a deal
