Nah.

Aqara (specially older devices) are known for being temperamental and not playing well with other hubs/devices. If you have each manufacturer on its own hub, make sure they are using separate channels. If everything else fails, 2.4GHz is also used for Bluetooth, microwaves and other, maybe your location has noise on that band,

Z-Wave is using lower bands (800-900mhz depending on location) and certifying the devices better for software compatibility. It’s a fine solution as if it works for you, any limitations are basically theoretical (like the 200 devices).

Do you know the phrase cut your nose to spite your face?

Check interference with wifi signals wifi on channel 1 and zigbee on channel 25 gives you the most separation. As long as a neighbor doesn’t blast on wifi channel 11.

There is also software compatibility, I found hue to be the most stable for routers. Osram was terrible, recent firmware made it okay.

The baby was playing with a different toy for a while. Now he broke it and is looking for new things to focus on.

Thread is basically the same thing, but with a different upper level layer (IP), lower lever is still 802.15.4

No worries.

The 256 thing was written by a person. AI doesn’t have exclusive rights to being dumb, plenty of dumb people around.

That’s not the product that’s expensive, it’s the dentist salary you’re paying (and I don’t thing you are going to buy braces online).

And a criminal.

One more opinion: 3km is definitely too far for groceries, that’s driving distance. It’s half an hour walking each way, the return loaded with bags? Forget about it.

I live on the edge of a small-ish town and it takes me 15 min to the nearest supermarket, and that’s quite a lot, everyone on this streets bikes there, in about 5 min. From there towards the center you don’t need to walk more than 5 min to get groceries.

I’d say having to walk more than a 10 minutes for groceries already affects the apartment value.

I disagree, I’ve heard the same thing about many other things and haven’t seen any of those happen. I guess we’ll see in years?

And medicaid.

It’s the second time. Happened already in 2016. People liked it and voted for more of it. Enjoy the private jets, I guess?

The government will provide one, they are generous like that.

You underestimate the proportion of dumb people. Trans people can also be dumb.

Tooth brushes are under one euro. Tooth paste is around one euro. Both last like a a couple of months. Floss and inter-dental brushes are a couple of euros.

Not everything is implants and high tech drills, the consumer products to take care of your teeth are cheap as fuck. Unless you volunteer to buy the toothbrush with leds, Bluetooth and timer, but that’s a tech toy, not a dental product.

I think it’s a conspiracy theory. The vast majority of people use manual brushes. Of those who use electric ones, a majority use dumb ones. Of those who use smart ones, some people don’t use the app. Or don’t bother opening the app every time they brush. Those who register probably don’t provide insurance info. The data they collect is basically useless for individual cases, and definitely useless on a bigger scale.

My take is that it’s a gimmick to help sell you more expensive brushes when you are browsing and comparing them.

Neither can we…
