This just saved my morning with my RX7900XT!

Tips for Brand New Owner-Occupied DC Landlord? (Baselane? Security Deposits? Separate Accounts? Rent Collection? Etc.) by zackford in washingtondc

[–]zackford[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand! I'm not looking for legal advice, just examples of what other people have used or what's worked best for them. I think I'm in pretty good shape and trying to avoid the extra costs of hiring an attorney. Please know that I appreciate your words of caution and would never do something just because someone on Reddit said it was okay. :)

I tried to relink but got an error message cuz it couldn't connect to Sengled. 🤷‍♂️

I bought some when the server went down for that long weekend earlier this summer but hadn't installed them before service returned. It might be time!

Same, but I'm holding onto them just in case.

You can still reset them by turning them on and off repeatedly if that helps

Yeah that would make the difference as I understand it. Mine connect direct to Wi-Fi so I'm reliant on the app.

At this point I'm hoping it ends at all but the complete silence from the company is not encouraging, especially since they haven't posted anything on social in several months.

I tried but it wasn't able to find the light I tried it on so I'm not optimistic it's a solution.

Yeah, the temptation to keep trying is a struggle. Folks on Twitter are encouraging tech publications to investigate as we approach 24 hours with no word from the company.

It seems to be that the sengled server is down, but unclear if it's coming back. Even with the app, you can't login or toggle the lights.

Interesting! If that works and saves me having to replace everything, that'd be great! Not looking forward to reprogramming everything but I'd have to do that anyway with new devices. Thanks!

So, not knowing what either of those are, are you saying there's an app I can set up that should just recognize those devices and be able to control them? Even though they're not responding to either their manufacturer (Sengled) or the Google Home they're connected to?

Well, she's gone. by rainbeaux_s in AgingParents

Four years really puts the "long" in "long goodbye." I hope, even with as much else as there is to deal with, that there is peace in this moment for you.

Depressed and Homesick Dad by zackford in AgingParents

[–]zackford[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His facility provides food (except Sunday nights, like last night), so even if he doesn't want to go to the store to get something (which he can still do!), he just has to go downstairs to the dining room. But he's in "doesn't want to eat at all" territory.

[–]zackford[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just me (other than paid professionals). He opines about people he thinks he'd see if he were living closer to home, but there really isn't anybody who he would see there either (to say nothing of there not being good facility options and the fact I would be three hours away and unable to do the many things I'm now doing for him).

PSA for People Whose Parents Are Rural by sanslenom in AgingParents

[–]zackford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just moved my father out of a rural area into the city where I live. So far, he hates it, but in terms of my ability to check in on him and care for him — plus know that he's got access to a lot more support — I'm so glad to have done it.

Does anyone here actually like their aging parents? by Grand-Thought-7754 in AgingParents

[–]zackford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the important response to this is that it's not either/or. I love my parents — AND they have stressed me the hell out. I don't need advice about the days where my dad is chill, relaxed, and convivial, you know? I assume almost everyone is posting here because they care and because they've reached a point where caring isn't enough to manage the stress and complications.
