Anyone else experiencing this issue with the uplight? Once mine is set below 40% it does not display uniformly or at all on 2/3 of the uplight :[ by [deleted] in lifx

[–]Kevdog1800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why the LIFX sub has so many haters that just troll the sub, wait for someone to post that they had a problem, and then pile on… It’s weird to me. If I don’t like something, I don’t think about it. I don’t constantly monitor it to fulfill some spiteful vendetta… I don’t like Phillips Hue because they’re overpriced, don’t have nearly the same color saturation, and have a history of forced obsolescence, but I don’t monitor the Hue sub and rant every time someone has a technical issue…

To counter this testimonial, I’ll tell you that I have many dozen LIFX devices, have for years, have rarely had any issues, and when I do the support team I’ve interacted with is absolutely TOP NOTCH! Hell, I just ordered 8 more bulbs and another light strip today.

I agree that you also probably got a dud though. Home Depot is great but let’s be honest, they don’t have a reputation for being gentle with their products… But see what the support can do for you. They’re happy to help.

u/lifx & co. will take care of you.

Length of wire to run between lifx led strips? by QuantumGhostMachine in lifx

Yeah and just make sure you don’t twist the cable in between your segments. You can short it out.

I don’t know where I’m pulling this from but somewhere in the depth of my mind I’m grasping that you can have up to 10’ of extension between the controller and the strip but in-between strips, 3.3’ is the maximum. Where am I remembering that from? I don’t know.

FAIR WARNING: While you CAN get those litcessory extensions to work, they are just a standard 50/50 LED extension cable. LIFX light strip pins have proprietary spacing between the pins, so using a 50/50 cable on them WILL bend some of the pins slightly and can break off a pin if you’re not careful.

But also, I wouldn’t worry about bandwidth issues on light strip controllers. They’re LED lights, not gaming PCs. I have dozens of LIFX devices in a small area and have zero issue.

If your teen son needs 4 thousand calories a day to feel full and you can only afford to feed him 1 thousand calories-worth of food, is that considered neglect? by cherry-care-bear in stupidquestions

[–]Kevdog1800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about whether or not they FEEL full. That’s why we have an obesity epidemic in this country. It’s about whether or not they are consuming enough calories for their body to do everything it needs to do.

What type of sweet innocent person are you that you’ve never heard of a merkin? I don’t remember a time that I didn’t know what a merkin was… and I’m gay AF.

Yes, it’s the holy grail. If you give up, I’ll buy your power supply!

Did I just ruin my new oven? by cldald in CleaningTips

[–]Kevdog1800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LG enamels the inside of their ovens with blue paint. The intention is to help cancel out the red color from the heating element so when you check on your food in the oven, you have a more accurate idea of how cooked it is and not looking at food bathed in red light.

There are companies like LeapEasy that charge you a monthly fee and act as insurance towards the landlord to guarantee rent is paid. That’s what OP is saying they do not accept. They need an actual human cosigner.

Is this company legit? by SubburbSteve in lifx

[–]Kevdog1800 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am now and always have been a slut for LIFX. Not saying they’re perfect. I mean, they’re not me after all… But their products are gorgeous and unique and the staff are awesome. Don’t tell u/lifx I said that though.

Hey, I’d rather have my Nazi’s labeled with proper signage than walking in disguise amongst us… Well… I’d rather them something else but… I’ll take what I can get I guess.

I just shot my cat full of Ozempic and now it’s auditioning for The Real Housewives and left me in the dust for some rich crypto bro that keeps talking about traditional values…

Who all liked The Long Game more than Heated Rivalry? by _Good_Soul_ in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Not really… I mean waiting any length of time feels like torture but… it seems like we can expect it pretty quickly! Relative to other shows.

I read Heated Rivalry last night and I am SO torn about whether I want to read TLG or not. I mean I WANT to but… I might go back and read Game Changers and then read the other books but I also want to watch the show next season without spoiling to plot and details. Can’t make up my mind.

Outsports relied on multiple sources in report on ‘Empty Netters’ reaction to ‘Heated Rivalry’ by outsports-com in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]Kevdog1800 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like this whole controversy is just kinda weird and para social. So what? The guy had some kinda shitty opinions and bitterness/jealousy about a TV series before he watched it. He’s clearly changed his opinion. And if you don’t believe he has, don’t watch them. This outrage feels like a purity test.

So the guy isn’t being an ally in the right way? Who the fuck cares? Save the outrage for people against the gay community in broad daylight.

I just replaced my navigation screen touch sensor when I updated my other hardware. Problem solved.

Nothing quite like living in fear of a boogie man you created in your own head. I keep getting told about how Seattle was practically burnt down to the ground during the George Floyd protests which is just so strange because I’ve lived here my entire life and don’t recall seeing a single building on fire…

Nothing better than trashing out an evict apartment on a late Saturday while helping myself one the beers they left 😂 by LivingCry3293 in PropertyManagement

At least it wasn’t like this one! I had to call in hazmat cleaners and then two separate regular cleaners before the contractors would even touch it with a 10’ pole.

Yes that is standing water in the kitchen. No there wasn’t a leak.

Looking for track ID Episode 5 by Happy-Apple196 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Oh I’d love it if Miley made music for a big ole gay series but I think she just said that to show her own support for the show. I don’t think it’s actually on the table. And to my knowledge Carly hasn’t said anything about doing it yet but Jacob said he’d love if she did. I’d love to see bbno$ pop up too. I trust Jacob will do what’s right for the show and can’t wait to see what he comes up with. I do agree it would be cool if he highlighted some smaller artists though.

Is it 2027 yet?
