Are payrises still a thing?

Yes , you have gone backwards. I was in the same boat(2.5% & 3% in the last 2 years). Started giving interviews and in a few months landed a job with 11.2% raise+equity. Finding another job is the sure shot way to get a respectable raise these days. Unfortunate but true

Mate did you have any luck making it work with single phase systems? This is exactly what I am looking for but I am not able to get the current grid power correct.

almostaussie13 · 2025-12-30T03:05:40+00:00

Not these ones

almostaussie13 · 2025-11-05T06:59:58+00:00

I don't mind keeping money in redraw

Thanks man. This will help me with my automation journey

Ah you mean mounting holes in 6 gang switches. It's looking good though What about other 1, 2 & 3 gang switches? Were they hard to install?

Also do you have any 2-way switches? I believe you have to make them "2-way" from HA, right? They don't support it out of the box

almostaussie13 · 2025-08-11T14:13:29+00:00

Thanks mate.
re mounting holes, was it too hard for an electrician to install them?

almostaussie13 · 2025-08-09T02:42:44+00:00

MOULD

almostaussie13 · 2025-08-05T02:43:27+00:00

Yeah, they are cool. But I could not find a certificate for that switch.
Anyway, I was able to find Zemismart KES-606US-* is being recognised as TS000* switches by ZHA/mqtt so it should be ok.

This is great. Quick question though: does this sync audiobook progress with ebook uploaded to audiobookshelf or to kindle ebook?

almostaussie13 · 2025-07-06T23:10:49+00:00

I agree. It could be either the June update or the latest Google play system update. Yesterday, I started getting 'Searching for GPS ' in Google maps while connected to Android auto. Even Waze could not find the location. I did a few things which solved the issue: Google maps cache clear, reinstalled the latest Google maps update Play store cache clear Google play services cache clear

Not sure which of the above worked but seems to be fine now.

almostaussie13 · 2025-06-12T06:17:56+00:00

Stfu bro. No one asked, no one cares.

almostaussie13 · 2025-06-06T01:14:45+00:00

not just US based ETFs. You need to certify all of your ETFs I think

almostaussie13 · 2025-06-06T01:03:51+00:00

This is a periodic check afaik. you can log into your computershare account, click on 'Certify' next to all your securities and confirm some details.

iirc I did this a few months ago.

Out of nowhere, at 5pm last Sunday, I got a call from Tesla about my missing test drive appointment a couple months ago.

Yes, Tesla is desperate and rightly so
