I ended up going down the matter, home assistant, HomeKit route so I have some options for local network control.

It’s better to just purchase a temperature probe with wifi. Those are handy as hell.

Connected HVAC can be pretty damn great depending on your house. It’s changed my energy usage a lot, and I like being able to adjust temps without walking downstairs in the middle of the night. Although having your thermostat lose cloud support ever 10-15 years is pretty shitty.

Connected doors are also great for handing out virtual keys and ensuring that stuff is shut and locked when you’re away.

I want a Home Screen widget that shows me the 5 hashtags that are currently trending on Bsky or masto.

Speaking for animation, your browser probably already supports APNG. APNG is 21 years old and has decent adoption. But it’s officially part of the club.

That said, APNGs are fat as fuck and they’re a pretty old solution to animated graphics with an alpha channel. Don’t expect to see everyone making APNGs all of the sudden. There is a reason why people have kept it at a distance.

Animated PNG has been trying to be an extension to the PNG spec for 20+ years.

I mean, the company is literally named after this fucking thing from LOTR. These people are comic book level evil.

I love lamp

Call it a “Tyson Meat Processor’s sweat n’ spicy Jack Link’s wiener bun Doritos meet stick”

Mom: “we have Arnold Schwarzenegger at home”

Their grants were cut by a Trump EO, and they’re suing to have them reinstated. They’re very much still around.

I WOULD pay extra for that.
