  • I’ve really enjoyed the GE Cync Matter bulbs. They respond instantly, and I’ve had no issues with them disconnecting the way Nanoleaf bulbs would.

    They do seem to really easily go to a peach color instead of warm, but you learn where you can set the temperature before it goes peach.

    I only buy Matter/Thread now, despite manufacturers making that difficult.




  • I have never seen them used well. I expect there IS some use case out there where it makes sense but I haven’t seen it yet. So many times I’ve seen factories that can only return one type. So why did you use a factory? And a factory that returns more than one type is 50/50 to be scary.

    Yeah, I went through the whole shape examples thing in school. The OOP I was taught in school was bullshit.

    Make it simpler. Organizing things into classes is absolutely fine. Seven layers of abstraction is typically not fine.






  • Its Ubuntu 24.04. When I started it, it took quite awhile and then said “there as a problem, please log out”.

    Now that I’ve got it started (where I’m posting from now), it still refuses to arrange my monitors. And I have no idea what this 5th, 13.3" monitor is supposed to be.

    It looks like my issues are related to this hardware. I guess that’s understandable. I thought this hardware would be transparent to the OS, and apparently it’s not.

    If I hit apply here, it will fail and put them back in a line. I’ll also get around 4 fps and no cursor on the additional monitors.

  • I installed a fresh copy of, I believe, Debian. Wayland, for some reason, couldn’t handle 4 monitors, with one above the other three.

    Not the issue I expected on a fresh install. Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Windows was copied straight into Linux. I want my (single) taskbar on a monitor that isn’t my primary.

    I’m currently back to Windows. It was already going to be a rough transition, and missing the ideas I was looking for while also adding complications just hasn’t made it worth it.
