It’s something Apollo had. It was useful to see who signed up recently just to troll.

The footage is indeed all over the internet.

I’d go with “bitch, please”

Someone downvoted you but you are correct. The report used assumptions based on satellites not even made of the same materials as starlink satellites.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/10/spacex-says-faa-is-wrong-about-starlink-satellite-debris-falling-to-earth/

Among other things, SpaceX said the FAA's debris estimates were based on a 23-year-old study of satellites that were made with different materials than Starlink satellites. SpaceX says its own satellites are designed to burn up completely when they reenter the atmosphere.

The FAA report to Congress did include a caveat that said, "If SpaceX is correct in reporting zero surviving debris, as SpaceX reports in FCC filings, and Starlink is a fully-demisable spacecraft, the rise in reentry risk is minimal over the current risk."

Might be a filter that’s not on by default. I’m not sure what the default ones are but I have AdGuard base filter, AdGuard mobile ads filter, AdGuard tracking protection filter, AdGuard annoyances filter, AdGuard popups filter. It’s probably the popups one that does it which is under the annoyances category.

I stick with hue. Every other brand I tried dies. Recently I’ve had one sengled zigbee bulb start flashing between color temperatures and another start blinking on and off. Haven’t had a hue bulb die in the 5 years I’ve been using them.

I hear good things about ikea but haven’t tried them. I’m disappointed my sengled bulb went because they’re the brightest zigbee bulbs I’ve found.

I had some crappy Tuya bulbs and they all started doing the flashing between color temperatures thing too. I use the adaptive lighting integration and I think that somehow causes it but it’s the bulb itself actually doing the flashing now.

It seems to be a soft paywall because I only get the pop up if I disable AdGuard. You should install an ad blocker.

Most of the results after the first page on Google are usually the same as the usable results, just mirrored on some shady site full of ads and malware.

Smart bulbs are fine and the only solution if you want more than just dimming. Just make sure to also use a smart switch or relay that can be set to control the smart functions without actually cutting the power to the bulbs. The main problem with smart bulbs is when someone uses the physical switch and shuts off the power to the bulbs themselves.

Yeah I got those ads multiple times last night along with a random maga conspiracy ad about how a bad event is happening soon and everyone should buy gas masks.

This isn’t about the weight sensors, it’s using “computer vision” to detect you didn’t scan something and forces employees to get involved.

All the Walmarts I’ve been to have the bagging area weight sensors turned off. It seems the local grocery store finally turned theirs off because using a reusable bag used to set it off.
