Who else immediately blinked after the title?

Love that! Thanks

Sorry this doesn’t help the issue but can someone tell me what the cat animated icon is because I think I need it immediately, thanks.

I’ve been finding the same and have just started using the filter option in my client lately. It’s not ideal but the alternative is that I get bored of seeing it and stop using Lemmy altogether.

I do worry that the repetitive content will drive new users away

I’m in Wayland but that’s because I’m Intel Integrated. If it was Nvidia I might have leaned more towards X111

The second hand market for Lenovo laptops is usually pretty good. Lots of corporations have hardware cycles and recycle the things in huge waves. I’ve picked up an X230 and X270 for fractions of what they were worth new. Accessories too.

Recently I went through some pain with this myself. Had a full Heatmiser setup with wireless receivers in every room and 2 manifold controllers for our underfloor heating on two floors.

The devices ate batteries like nothing I’ve seen before and regularly dropped off the network and didn’t send call to heat signals properly, so I decided to switch out the thermostats for cheap ZigBee temperature sensors.

I then ordered a relay board from AliExpress with a baked in esp8266 cheap and flashed esphome onto it. These replaced my manifold controllers

After trial and error, I now have my heating system run by esphome and home assistant. It has been faultless! Will probably reinstall the Heatmiser kit if I sold the house though

Yep I thought the same after seeing 3 Tesla bashing posts one after the other in my feed. I don’t care for the brand but I also don’t want to hear about every single defect with them in individual posts.

I think the ‘technology’ topic is too broad and allows for this sort of shit slinging to happen too easily.

Did the same on my ThinkPad X270 last week. Went for Arch and everything worked out of the box. KDE Plasma + Wayland was a doddle too. Very happy!

It’s dual boot with Windows 10 for now but I think I’m ready to delete the Windows partitions already
