Someone else in another thread I read recently, I think they worked for Microsoft at some point, said that it’s due for different departments all competing for corporate attention. Doing the big new thing to keep their job. Rather than just fine tuning for performance or longevity. Something like that.

Look into Home Assistant.

Yes, but at least this stands a good chance of a few seasons.

Burns the ding dong

Read that as more dics. Probably those too.

What’s layman words for this please?

You’re right, clicked it away so many times over the years and never stopped to think what a silly statement that was. I feel like it was for a time when 10 was a new shiny ‘mysterious’ thing, that it might convince people into thinking it needed something special, but has just aged like milk.

Wiggle the little stalk at the top, if it wiggles nicely, it’s ripe. Takes a little to get the feel for wiggle to ripe ratio, but it’s a really good indicator.

Yeah that’s a silly statement, guarantee there was little altruism when they, like most, started their business.

Urgh one of my coworkers (technically client, but work closely alongside) clearly uses it for every single email he sends, and it’s nauseating. He’s crass and very poorly spoken in person, yet overnight all his email correspondence is suddenly robotic and unnecessarily flowery. I use it regularly myself, for fast building of Excel formulas and so forth, but please, don’t dump every email into it.

Thanks, was like holy shit I better read up about that neoplasm thing!
