I have a "smart" bulb from IKEA for my room in my rented apartment it came with a little round battery powered thingy with 5 buttons (brighter, less bright, warmer, less warm, and on-off toggle) I end up basically cycling between WHITEST BRIGHT when cleaning and dimmest yellowest any other time it does literally everything I'd ever want from a light, it doesn't interface with anything other than the bulb socket, and it won't obsolete until the LED elements in it burn out

It was part of what made me read on while researching, because I deal with Zigbee at some of our warehouses that have temperature probes that report back to base stations and it’s so much more reliable than the warehouses that cheap out and get a million little T&D thermometers that all have to be connected to the WiFi individually.

Well it sure doesn't feel low latency. Super low power though. Also important: It's a mesh network. But yeah I have mobility issues so these are a godsend. And it's hella cyberpunk dystopia to have to choose between having lightbulbs someone can compromise and risking dangerous injury due to living in a hellworld where disability automatically makes your soul worth less. (And as such I don't get the assistance I'd need and instead have to hack together things myself.) ... then again I'm a cyborg as-is since well, the mobility issues didn't come alone, so maybe it's just the cyberpsychosis talking.

If you're gonna live in a cyberpunk dystopia, might as well have fun with it. I really feel it when hacking or viruses are front page news.

The switch harvests energy from button presses to send the command to your base station, so they need no batteries. The whole Hue world of lights and accessories is a buckwild rabbit hole for me to discover this close to middle age.

well its not like getting a new remote from IKEA would be some herculean effort, and you can still just use them like regular light bulbs in the interim however I will say that proper integration with all major phone operating systems is one of the nicer aspects of the Hue, b/c you don't need another piece of hardware to serve as the remote e: though yes the switches are also really nice because you can do things like mount them to the side of a cabinet/bookshelf to get an adjustable light switch somewhere where wiring it would likely be infeasible LGD has issued a correction as of 20:02 on Oct 21, 2019 |

Well, you probably can't, since it's an expensive elective surgery, but that counts the same for eyeball replacement.

Cyber eye installation will absolutely be available from affordable street vendors when they become available. It will be a lot like when the guy gets a skull gun installed in Diamond Age.

you can get multifocal lens implants these days like for cataract surgery so if your eyeball really sucks you really can have the important bit replaced with a synthetic enhancement. it comes with a knob that sticks out of your face to allow you to easily select between three different focal lengths.

It sucks now that I'm getting old and I need to have reading glasses but for twenty years just being able to see perfectly was so great. It cost so little as to be nothing, took maybe five minutes and after I woke up I could see perfectly with no pain and no side effects. I should note I have a thing about eyes. I can't think about them, they gross me out, and I could never do a contact lens. I can't even watch someone put in a contact lens without getting queasy and I had no trouble getting the surgery. I highly recommend it.

Also how did they even let you get knocked out? Everyone I hear from says you have to be awake and they numb your eye with liquid cocaine. Nooooooooooooooooooooo thank you to literally any of that.

my only experience with Hue bulbs is my cousin yelling into his Alexa room names, bulb numbers, and colors while his wife kept asking him to stop changing the lights until she was finished cooking. If I want to control anything in my house I'm buying cheap, old pro control equipment like I use at work and do serial or IP control from there on its own airgapped network. Meets DoD standards, so it's probably at least secure enough to be random rear end in a top hat proof.CharlestheHammer posted:everything is the same thing if you think about it

I want to say less than a thousand twenty years ago, whatever that works out to after inflation. Part of me wants to say $700 but even back then I know it wasn't the cheapest place being advertised. Necrothatcher posted:My brother-in-law got Lasik and now cannot drive at night due to all the lights being blurred. And apparently this is a common side effect? Put me right off. I work overnight and only really drive at night. I had halos for a few months for sure but never full-on night blindness. I'm sure it's worse for some and better for others but all that went away for me. Probably the two most annoying things were avoiding getting water near your eyes in the shower for a few months after the surgery and the smell which they really should warn you about. Honestly the best depiction of what it's like is probably the Home Movies depiction. All of it's true, the sketchiness of the doctors, the outrageously low prices, the frivolity with which it's all handled despite it being pretty serious, the video they make you watch that doesn't tell you anything, and the smell. I mean this really is exactly what it's like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W-DtIAzWVc
