  • Well first, this deal was part of that sale. That’d be like someone’s boss pocketing a tip and telling the waitress “you don’t deserve this tip you already got paid” or a salesman “you get something hourly, why would you need this commission?”

    They worked for it, after the sale, because it was in their contract.

    That said, the company didn’t even say it was a mess. They said that they needed something like, one more biome, one more leviathan, a few bits and bobs like that. Requirements that they added on later in development, that those three guys say aren’t needed.

    I really wanna hear from the other devs, the ones under the 3. Theirs is the opinion I’d trust in this mess. But I’m leaning towards corporate fuckery, personally.









  • You’re missing how a bunch of their friends from their new social class already do drugs and how good those drugs feel.

    Easy hole to fall into, but money honestly makes it harder to climb out of, you can always afford the drugs.

    So it becomes the norm, whereas someone at the poverty line with an addiction can’t afford them regularly and has to spend grocery money on them and therefore might be addicted but also resents them.

    Rich people can afford to normalize drugs and consider themselves fine while they’re on them, because they’re still living within their means.


  • Zigbee is a mesh network, but Zigbee with mqtt has a hub that stores messages. I haven’t used it myself but it would mean that if, say, a Zigbee bulb was routing a message on the mesh network through a smart switch across the room to the hub, and the switch dropped the connection for a moment, a hub reply could be dropped entirely. Just briefly, but thatd be the intermittent issues that people are describing here.

    MQTT stores all those messages in the hub though and makes the light bulb check in to get the messages, so if a light bulb were to do that and the switch disconnected, the light bulb would notice the failure and just retry, and the message is still on the mqtt hub to be redelivered.

    Dunno if this description is exactly correct, but it sounds like it from my brief look on Wikipedia on communication differences.





  • Pretty sure it’d fry the power supply. Thats my first bet, is that it wouldn’t even get through it.

    If it did pass through, it could fry your electronics. A USB killer is a short pulse, and not at all strong compared to main, so I expect that it’d act more like if a neutral was floating, than an actual surge at the voltage a USB killer usually gets to.

    No idea for sure though and I’m not an electrician.
