What even is the point of landing rockets? They're mostly fuel so the part that's actually valuable is gone when it lands.

I can't remember the shuttle itself was a design by committee clusterfuck iirc Powerful Two-Hander fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Feb 6, 2018 |

hifi posted:the only bulb with a shred of intelligence that appeals to me is the philips one that is dimmer compatible and switches from daylight to like 4000k white at lower power levels I started with a single bulb + switch for my desk light and found the different settings good depending on time of day, but remembering to click the light on time when I was computering was a bit hard. I got a discount on a few more bulbs + a hub and had that light plus my bedroom lights automated, and found that it was much easier to get up in the morning if I set the lights to fade in gradually. My sleep schedule started shifting as well, something I've struggled with a lot. With that kind of success I went hog wild and decided to automate the rest of the living room and hallways. Hence, 600 dollars of light bulbs.

ate all the Oreos posted:not that i actually want each individual loving lightbulb i own to individually connect to my fuckin' wifi network though, so w/e Once set up you control the lights with the smart switches, with the phone app, with the automation rules you programmed, or by turning them on/off with mechanical switches and dimmers.

ShadowHawk posted:The Phillips ones don't connect to wifi, they connect to a little control hub that plugs into your ethernet, or directly to the dimmer switches if you buy them in combo pack. The hub only listens on the local network, and you program it with a phone app that you have to keypair by pressing a button on the hub. yeah that's what i was saying in the post right before the one you quoted
