I wish I had a dial in SmartLife for my kettle instead of the slider bar. It’s very hard to pick the right temp, and it always drops the temp by 1F. Want 204F? Better pick 205F.

Also there’s two bars with no explanation. One is set_temp, the other is temp_boiling. Took me a bit to figure out that set_temp is to heat to a specific temp while temp_boiling is to heat to boiling and then cool to the value you set (minus 1F, ofc).

And on top of that, it’s not possible to start heating without at least a minimum 1h of heat time from the app. If you do it from the kettle directly it doesn’t do this at all, but the app defaults to 8h and you can drop it to 1h. For anything other than 212F, I use the app because the dial is bugging out and jumps all over randomly on temp.

Not with that attitude

Wait, I have 3 ports on that thing? I never turn it around and look, I just line up against my gamepad dongle for adding a cable for charging. Huh. Guess I’ll have to look lol.

That’s okay, I’ll stand in for the pineapple pizza weird.

I haven’t seen a TWAIN error in at least 20 years.

Yes, it’s absolutely a hellscape out there right now. It was bad before, with poorly written requirements and unknowing HR depts, but now applications can be instantly rejected, including when they were suitable candidates.

Good luck!

It can definitely be difficult to find jobs without having a degree, but they do exist. A lot of the time you’ll have to start at the lowest level and work your way up, but knowledge is knowledge and that would be apparent in your performance. Unfortunately because a lot online job applications are now filtered by AI, you may run into issues just getting an interview. Only thing I can suggest is mass-applying to several places and see what gets you a response.

Either way, if you do have a desire to learn and show that in an interview, it’ll always be a positive.

And a quick edit: don’t forget to look at public school districts or other local public offices for IT job, they’re usually needing additional help.

Don’t discount your own knowledge just because you’re self taught. I’ve been in IT for 26 years now and help in managing over 100k user accounts and hundreds of servers, and while I’ve had some formal training, >90% of what I use daily is self taught. It’s a desire for knowledge that matters, not how that knowledge is derived.

Or Technitium and add block lists.

I have ever since Nova sold out. Loved that one but I removed that immediately after the news came out. I don’t hate the stock Samsung launcher, but it’s left a lot to be desired.

Oh definitely. If my choices are no-name garbage or Anker, it’ll always be Anker. You’d be better off with nothing than that shit.

Moved to UGreen after Anker’s nonsense with their cameras. Used Anker for many years up to that point though. Not that there should ever be security issues on a charger, but I’m happy with UGreen.

But are they useful?

Yeah the first stevia I ever got had dextrose in it and literally 8 grains was enough, it was silly. I didn’t know until I was almost done that it was just basically sugar.

That’s precisely why I use it in my coffee and have for many years. However there’s a big difference from one brand to another I’ve found. Sweet Leaf stevia drops are the only kind I’ll use now.

I might be having a stroke

If you’re wrong, would you be politically incorrect?

I’m about 80% sure the point of the reply was that you didn’t use a comma. “Bluesky people” vs “Bluesky, people” means two different things.

Theseus who? I only know tHESEUS.

You really need to tell Mom to stop spamming you.
