The article says it needs the DIRIGERA hub, which also has a Matter/Thread radio

I hope they’re still Zigbee devices. No info I can find at the moment but I quite like that I can use Trådfri stuff with Zigbee2mqtt and I’d love to add more functionality

I have a UDR and it’s pretty great. I have had one unknown failure once, which needed a physical reboot. And that’s been in two or so years.

A few companies make reusable Brita cartridges which are designed to be taken apart. But I’m glad you found a way 😁

I went to a relatively central ish pub in London the other day in a somewhat touristy area (but by no means the most!). The card machine asked me if I wanted to give a tip when I was paying £13.75 (and I just checked this on my bank statement to be certain) for two pints.

When I said no (I just tapped the option on the card machine) - the bartender was visibly pissed and almost threw our drinks at us.

This is not the US. Tipping culture - especially when drinks are already that expensive can fuck right off. It would be slightly different if they’d brought the drinks to our table, I suppose…

Not sure what PoF is like these days but last I heard (a few years ago to be fair) they would ban you if you said you were polyamorous and point you towards Ashley Madison, since they were a little bit too religious to even be nice about it.
