Cocoa Crispies posted:they suck rear end, have batteries that wear out, impossible to program, no remote control how often do people adjust the ambient temperature that a remote control is required ? I have the good ol knob job up on the wall and if I feel like giving er a twist I can without verifying the thermostat’s certificate chain

The Management posted:the thing that hosed all pc game controller support has been that there is no standard controller. console controllers are standardized, developers know and test what the customers are using. it doesn't matter since all they need is a d-pad and like one button to tap your buildings every few hours when you get a notification.

Perplx posted:i wish i had a thermostat, i have 4 baseboard electric heaters with a loving knob on each one and in the summer i break out my window air conditioner Our apartment (a post-war two story/4-unit building) has "free heat" meaning that we have no actual control over it. If (when) it's 20 degrees in September or 80 degrees in April we're just kinda  , it takes the company a week or so of lead-time to catch up by which time the temperature will statistically probably have gone back to seasonal so we freeze or fry accordingly.E: I mean, it's Whitefish Bay, it's still better than probably 80% of rental properties in the metro Milwaukee area (although after reading Evicted I suspect that number might be dramatically higher  ) so I count my blessings but still, kinda sucks when we have to blanket the kid three-deep.
