The guy who was using my name to make code submissions 2-3 years prior.

Better than many, mediocre.

With my coworkers I’ve got a strange ability to pick up any language that tastes like c, and get stuff done. I’m sure I’ve confused our c# guys when I make a change to their code and ask for a code review, because I’ll chase down quality of life improvements for myself. (Generally, I will make the change and ask if I have any unintended side effects, because in an MCU, I know what all my side effects are, multi threaded application?, not at all)

Edit: coming from a firmware view, I’ve made enough mistakes to realize when order of operations will stab me, when a branch is bad because that pipeline hit will hurt, and I still get & vs && wrong more often than I would like to admit.

Unfortunately, it’s probably for Bluetooth, as those permissions seem to be linked.

But, for lights, if you’re handy, look into xlights / fpp, it’s the software that some holiday lightshow people use, and it’s great, but involved. Similarly, wled software runs on esp32 chips and can control lights, but again, you need to be handy enough to set it up.

Edit: home assistant seems to have created access to the local API for govee, https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/govee_light_local/ but that still might be more than you want to deal with.

Amphenol has a through-hole, MUSBRM5C130, that isn’t bad at all to solder, but it’s not cheap at all. Assembly might be cheaper. (Panel mount)

Soldering. A USB-a connector has 4 pins and a few holes for chassis.

A USB-c connector has 24 pins in a smaller space, plus a few for chassis. Having hand soldered each, A is better.

So you’re saying my Dr Robotnik Lawnmower is bad for hedgehogs? What about foxes, or echidnas?

Barely two months! I’m expecting my new PC for work any day now. (Saw the episode this week)

That computer is from 2024, this picture is legit.

After you get snipped, it’s potentially weeks/months before you are shooting blanks, a switch like this is less of babies/no babies and more like babies/accidental babies.

Edit: sorry for facts on shit post

This makes me realize there’s no instant regret community.

That’s fair, we’re not saving for the change, we want them for the air conditioning, our heat is new enough in not looking to fully replace it

This was from the same company, oddly enough. A mass save partner yada yada. (The first quote was at the same time they came for insulation installing)

MA might want you to, but has a problem. Just pre COVID, I had a quote, it was high, but not terrible, just well out of our range. We had a follow up quote after Massachusetts announced 10-15k more in rebates, and the price went up by about 15-20k. I get that some of this is that things are more expensive, but it also means that the incentives are not being seen by people, just installers. It’s frustrating to say the least.

Cheese.
