That would be illegal. I worked on the software deployment of these devices in a store. If we increased the price, we'd automatically give the customer the lowest price in the last several hours.

The other problem was they were extremely low powered and low bandwidth and it would have killed the battery to update more than a few times a day.

NoScript enables you to enable or disable WebGL per site. If you don't want to deal with the hassle of websites being broken, you can set the default to enable JS but disable WebGL then set applications to be trusted with WebGL.

 

I thought the model of 3D printing models of the chips to be a really cool way of visualizing how these chips work.

From the YouTube summary

How does your phone track its position in space? MEMS devices! Phones use small micro mechanical chips called MEMS, to monitor accelerations and rotations. These are fabricated using semiconductor technology, but are tiny little moving mechanisms.

Today we're decapping a six axis IMU (MPU-6050, on a GY-521 breakout board, containing three accelerometers and three gyroscopes), looking at it under the SEM, printing up some models, doing some high speed video recording, and talking about how these little MEMS devices work.

CAD/STL models (fair warning, it's a very challenging print!): https://www.printables.com/model/413667-mems-model-six-axis-imu-device

Accidentally typo your password and get blocked. And if you're tunneling over tor, you've blocked 127.0.0.1 which means now nobody can login.

Paperless does support defining a folder structure that you can use to organize documents within that paperless media volume however you should treat it as read only.

OP could use this as a way to keep their desired folder structure as much as possible, but it would have to be separate from the consumption folder.

Yeah I always use states when I can but the original post description made it sound like the integration was directly sending a notification. If it didn't set a state (which would be weird) then you'd need an event.

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/events/

In the dev tools > events tab you can subscribe and see what events are sent. There should be an event that is sent when it sends a notification. Create an automation that listens for that event

Doubtful. TicketMaster is there to take the bad PR but was designed to get as many fees and funnel part of those fees to the artist. Yes TM has deals with Live Nation that basically force big artists to use them because they have the big stadiums, but Taylor Swift is a massive artist she has tons of lawyers and can negotiate fees.

As much as I love Taylor Swift, I have no doubt that she is massively benefiting from the high ticket prices.

One of the problems with the cloud-polling integrations is that they will frequently poll the back-end APIs to get the current status of that device. A normal user might only open up the app once or twice a day and call the APIs, but these integrations will go 24/7 every 10s-5m. That can add up to a non-trivial amount of traffic. If there's 100 users opening it up once a day, that's not a lot of traffic, but 10 users polling every 1 minute is equivalent to 15k people doing something once a day.

I actually saw one of my integrations I used defaulted to updating every 10 seconds. I decreased that because I didn't want to draw attention to it.

A business will look at their usage and ask why there's more than expected traffic. They could be running their server on a potato. They could go back and support Matter, that costs money, requires skilled engineers, and cuts into profit margins.

While it sucks, that is something they could point to in a court about "economic harm".

I don't fully understand what you're saying, but let's break this down.

Since you say you get an NGINX page, what does your NGINX config look like? What exactly does the NGINX "login page" say? Is it an error or is it a directory listing or something else?

Also, the law requires that publicly traded companies be greedy

The law doesn't actually state you need screw over your customers and maximize profit. It says that executives have a fiduciary duty, which means they must act in the best interest of the shareholder, not themselves.

That does not mean they have to suck out every single dollar of profit. Executives have some leeway in this and can very easily explain that napkins lead to happier customers and longer term retention which means long term profits.

It's purely a short-term, wall street driven, behavior also driven by executive pay being also based in stock so they're incentivized to drive up the price over the next quarter so they can cash out.

Then try something like:

Create Quanity unit of ml and a liter unit

In your product use: Unit stock: bottle or liter Unit purchase: bottle Consume: ml Price unit: ml

Set a product specific QU conversion of bottle to ml

Weirdly, the quick consume unit is based on the stock unit, not the consume unit. That seems like a bug.

The problem with Grocy is that going too fine grained means you're unlikely to keep it up to date or it be accurate. I would not try to track your usage in ml. Just track it at the bottle level.

However you can still track the price per ml because grocy lets you independently set units. Just define a mapping between bottle and ml.
