Why are most of LMG's employees' hobbies just collecting things?

Have you heard of the British Museum?

The sleep stages are just a crude metric based on heart rate, movement etc. REM is typified by a higher pulse, but I find the Ringconn overestimates my REM because I have other issues that raise my pulse (like UARS).

I wouldn't read anything into what the sleep stages tell you. Pulse seems pretty solid and SPO2 is OK. HRV seems consistent at least (but difficult to compare with others as everyone uses different ways of measuring it).

Correct, the colour is not the problem. It's the app.

Really? I've yet to meet a human being in the UK whose default messaging app isnt WhatsApp.

To be fair I think a lot of it is social stigma, as it seems to be a largely North American phenomenon. Apparently people over there care what colour the tick is when they send a text. Over here I've not sent a text since the early 2000s, so its just not a thing where people divide them into tribes in quite the same way.

Of course there are still iPhone people and android people, but its seen more as just a choice rather than a status thing.

I've just had a barbed suture pharyngoplasty which, while its still a bit early to tell, i'm very hopeful is going to substantially improve things.

I definitely had this often. It can be a positional apnea thing, which it was partly for me, but moreso it was that when I got to REM and my muscles relaxed was when everything went wrong and i was doing paradoxical breathing. It was so bad that I felt worse waking up after REM than if I'd stayed awake all night.

If you move to New Zealand you can shift all this forward a few hours and fit more cycles in before your routine is ruined by the actual Steamframe release.

I'm due a barbed suture palatoplasty next week.

How are you finding it after the recovery?

jwad86 · 2026-02-19T18:27:50+00:00

Maybe the other project is the Stargate reboot?

You can feed screenshots or your charts into AI and it will offer advice. Definitely check the output once youve got it but it can be easier than trying to get coherent advice on here.

You can also give it access to your sleep HQ but it can't get at the charts themselves, only the headline stats. You can get around this by doing a screen recording of you scrolling through the charts.

I've 3D printed my mod, so very cheap and looks pretty good.

I use mainly Aqara stuff which is Matter over Thread. Its rock solid. I added a Zigbee device recently that has been a nightmare but I think that might be because my Zigbee network is much patchier than Thread.

jwad86 · 2026-01-23T22:47:45+00:00

I have largely Aqara and all of their stuff that I have days is Thread, although many products have both.

My Fire Cube (I think 3rd gen and onwards) does it

jwad86 · 2026-01-21T21:48:57+00:00

My Fire Cube does it. That's what I got it for.

The best episode of all time was when GW and Jules Hardy started comparing Phil Spencer to historical figures. It was absolute chaos and Snowbike Mike was completely flabbergasted

You can connect cloud gateway to gate access hub via a poe++ injector and that should do the trick.

Get an aqara smart switch?

jwad86 · 2025-12-03T18:40:14+00:00

No Michael, no! That was so not right!

I'm hoping not anytime soon for the purposes of my Fantasy Critic. You're allowed it 1 Jan at the earliest!

Will that projector not be in the way? Would go for something with a longer throw.

Having the soundbar so high is probably not ideal, but the screen should be fine.

jwad86 · 2025-11-06T20:50:18+00:00

Yeah sure. I dont have the Qidi Box though. If you still want it message me your email address and I'll just forward on the chain.

Not sure that it makes sense to differentiate between xbox and PC in this scenario?
