The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijackingšŸ”« thread🧵 ⁉

So I collected a bunch of x10 stuff. I’ve had it for years, and I’m not in a position to use it. Almost all of it new in box, some receipts from 1987 and 1999. Outdated, but should all still work, especially if you’re unable to physically mod your living situation.

If one of you wants to cover shipping, it’s all yours.

Thank you! I’m good with the what I’ve got at the moment but I appreciate it!

No thanks, I have a box full of relays and ESP’s etc, and SONOFF devices. Been building my own interfaces.

Getting the FlexUG4 and xG3 installed Wed…

And my first name is Martin…

Just realized, one of my co-workers may be quick witted enough to start calling me ā€œMartin Magnet-Handsā€

I’ll have to get a second one for the other hand then I guess.

Heh, I caution against putting magnets in both hands. I did this and regret it. Devices can’t be trusted for spot navigation because of magnetometer issues–you can watch the over all trend for direction of travel but you can’t just see what direction you’re facing… I need to remove the one in my left hand. Should we record it? :stuck_out_tongue:

:rofl: Yeah, I already have enough navigational issues, and have had a GPS nav unit try to kill me twice…

Thinking about getting my two blinkies removed actually, one is kinda buried and barely usable, the other is right up on the bone just behind a knuckle. It gets banged on everything

+1 on that, having a magnet free hand is necessary in many situations

Always :smirk: we need that gory content

I actually had this happen once driving in PA in the dark… told me to take an on-ramp to a highway… it was a big 270 degree curve and I’m goin around this thing at like 40mph and suddenly there is just a ā€œroad closedā€ sign across the whole on-ramp with no indication at the start it was closed… like it was so old and closed for so long like ā€œobviously everyone knows this on-ramp is closedā€ kind of thing… nearly shattered my ankle standing on the break pedal.

Hehe, I had an old Garmin GPS nav unit years ago… worked great in Minnesota. Took it with me to Florida for a couple weeks and not so good.

Trying to find a post office in Sarasota. First time it drove me into an apartment complex lot, wanted me to make a Right turn between two parking spaces and down the hill into a lake.

Second time (the next day) still trying to find a post office (picked a different one this time) told me I had ā€œArrived at my destinationā€ as I’m crossing onto railroad tracks…

Anybody know how to step around a news story paywall? LINK TO ARTICLE

I’d pay for it, but it’s a typically scammy Gotchya! subscription racket and I won’t encourage that crap.

P.s. I’ve tried 12ft and wayback. Chatgpt would summarize for awhile, but then it got all squirrelly. Bard won’t read past a paywall.

yeah annoying… in the old days you could basically inspect and remove the CSS node covering the content but because of the reasons you’ve mentioned they now just don’t send the data to the client at all;

There might be some low security shit you could take advantage of to fool the server into sending the rest of the content, but that’s beyond my paygrade :slight_smile:

and by extension, way past mine. Dang it. Thanks anyways!
