There's no magic answer. My best advice having wasted half my life trying to accomplish what seemed like a "good life" I ended up nearly broke and divorced with almost nothing but suffering to show for my time.

Now I pursue what makes me happy and only try to be as successful as I need to be so that I can keep doing what makes me happy. One day I'll be dead, and then whatever pile of shit I accumulated will be unceremoniously thrown in the trash by a distant relative. But if I can build something or help someone, then that's what I feel like doing with my time. Its not hedonism but its sort of a disengage ment from the rat race. Im not trying to get rich or gain power, I'm trying to relax and enjoy my life and help people while I can.

    What are the unwritten rules of airplane windows? (startrek.website)
     

    In life we all have unwritten rules like how far behind someone you stand while you are in line or the "nod of recognition" you give someone if you make eye contact while they are walking toward you.

    There are lots of these about airplanes, famously about 3-deep-seats.

    But I'm curious about the unwritten rule for the window.

    To me, if you are in the window seat, unless someone specifically needs the window to be open for motion sickness or something, you are responsible for closing the window once the plane is at cruising altitude so people can sleep if they need to. If you dont do that, I find it a little grating.

    Curious what other folks think.

    Current best no neutral smart switches (startrek.website)
     

    Moved into my own house again recently. I would like to get a lot of stuff automated like I had in my previous house.

    Unfortunately, theres a lot if old wiring here and most switches have no neutrals in the box.

    What is the current best option for smart switches (ideally dimmers) that dont require a neutral wire?

    I'd prefer a non-wifi solution that doesnt require a proprietary hub but it seems like there are limited options anyway and I am having trouble finding almost any good options that dont require a neutral.

    Anybody using anything they really like?

    Help! My device is only halfway? unlocked (startrek.website)
     

    I have a Motorola Razr+ 2023 from T-Mobile that I have had for 2 years and is now paid off and unlocked.

    It works with physical sims from other carriers but no esim will begin to activate. It only pops up with a message to call T-mobile which I did but, they won't help me because I am no longer a customer.

    The carrier unlock in the settings of android says unlocked so I don't know what to do next.

    Any ideas or fun ADB things I can try?

    Do we like Beelink? (lemmy.ml)
     

    These seem like ideal machines for workstations, for mom and dad, and for virtualization hosts.

    This model, the Beelink EQi12 even has a built in power supply so managing them in a rack is also super handy. And of course the price is not too shabby either.

    I have had pretty good luck with these in the past but I'm interested in hearing other's experiences, if any.

    I can't imagine that they are 100% on top of firmware updates, but have they had issues in the past with Windows keys or any other shady stuff I should know about?
