Nah - it’s at least partly correct.

I believe the states responsible for those silly outcomes have since passed laws to prevent it happening again.

Could be wrong, but I listened to a podcast last week with an American professor who’s pretty much written the book, explaining the history of the Electoral College and how it really works. I’m sure he said those states since fixed those loopholes.

Either way, the damage is done today. Another four years of stupidity in charge.

Lol @ “some 20 years ago … ADSL from 2002”. Thanks for making me feel old!

Ah, no worries mate. Almost got excited for a minute there.

Are you sure? I went looking after I upgraded and I still only have Assist; Scripts; Actions; and Open Page.

Well, thanks for the fall down that particularly horrifying rabbit hole. I can only imagine the pain these women went through, given this was at a time that predates anaesthesia.

If your strategy as an employer is how to keep your people in indentured servitude, that makes you a cunt. Be a good boss - help your employees achieve their goals and get to the next step in their career. That will help you attract newer talent when you need it.

Oh, sure. I get that. Sending yourself reminders is absolutely understandable. Sending yourself documented evidence of your plans to defraud someone is entirely different.

I use Shortcuts with NFC tags to automate some stuff with HA, and could probably achieve something on an entity by entity basis.

My point is that we used to have the ability to put a widget on the screen with about 6 or 8 entities on it, for simple, single-click access. And now we don’t. Seems silly to have taken it away from us.

In a 2017 email to himself, Smith calculated that he could stream his songs 661,440 times daily, potentially earning $3,307.20 per day and up to $1.2 million annually.

Great idea, but why would you email yourself about it?

Maybe the cop lives there, decided to bring his work with him

Isn’t the picture from Logan?

Edit: oh, it’s called johntucker.jpg.

The casting bit is the missing piece for me.

I’ve built a RasPi with Kodi for our caravan, to use Plex and stream our free-to-air TV here in Australia (using Musk’s space innernets). I just miss being able to cast from my phone, for the occasional thing I can’t do with a Kodi add-on.

RAID5 and unlimited downloads on my 1Gbps fibre. All I backup is my library metadata itself, using a 2N+C strategy.

It possibly would, but I don’t have any Homekit devices, and I just feel hat this is a simple thing a home automation app should offer, it’s almost conspicuous by it’s removal/absence.

Yep, that’s it. One of my most frequent uses of this widget was to turn the kitchen light off - the teenagers are forever walking in to the kitchen while we’re watching TV in the loungeroom nearby, then forgetting to turn the light off when they leave again.

Having a quick access widget for it just made it such a non-issue for me to turn it off. No fumbling and swiping for the app, and no interrupting what we’re watching to issue a voice command.

Disappointing that, if this was a thing, they removed it. Seems like the very definition of regression to me.

At least I know I’m not imagining it. Or that I’m not the only one. ;) Cheers!

Nah - not a widget per light. Per my OP, I had a widget that had a number of lights on it. The number varies based on widget size. I think mine had about 12 entities on it.

So you can’t possibly conceive that a single finger tap on a home screen widget to control a light is far simpler, and takes less effort, than having to open the app each time, potentially scroll to the location of the entity you want to control, then tap?

Yep, but I’m talking about widgets that you place on your phone’s home screen - not in the app directly.
