What have I missed? I'm guessing it's likely a bunch of 'long tail use cases' e.g. turning off water main for a broken pipe.

I'm not against smart homes! Just saying we need to drill down a bit and find better, more pragmatic use cases.

Probably my favorite "smart home" feature is the bed is tied into the whole system so the lights come on and off contextually. It sounds simple but it's so nice. I talk more about it here https://aaronparecki.com/2019/11/07/1/home-automation

I’ve felt fine for almost hours and within the past hour I started feeling really lousy. Feel like everything in my head is swelling. Throat, sinuses, muscles around my head. Weird pressure behind my eyes, dizziness. Just came out of nowhere. I thought I was in the clear. Oh well. Worth it.

For me it ended just as suddenly as it began! Just take it easy and don’t plan on getting much done for the next 24 hours. Totally worth it.

Looks like a “true simmer” is actually lower in temperature. What I’ve been calling a kind of simmer for years is really a kind of low boil.

I think this old physics major has become the punchline of the “imagine a spherical cow” joke .

My main argument is that you can't cook the pasta faster even if the water is boiling harder, because water can't get hotter than boiling.

The temperature of the water is the same, either way. Your method is the more climate-friendly and energy-saving.

you wouldn’t believe the number of times I’ve tried explaining this to a certain someone...

If you were closer I’d say drop one off for my Post Production World class tomorrow! Oh well.

Ah well, next time! I have some (mostly functional) prototypes I need to get rid of so don't be surprised if one of those shows up, unless you want to buy one of the "real" ones tomorrow 😉

Haha have you expanded your design to accommodate this beast?

I sure did! It's launching tomorrow, and it's the reason I have made no videos for the past 6 weeks

I guess this (mini) tip on the Mini isn’t so mini after all.

The only thing missing from this picture is a nice stand for your ATEM Mini Extreme to attach all that gear to... 🤔😉

@aaronpk I've spent the past few days setting up InideAuth, microsub and micropub. Pretty happy with it. I'm now at the point where I need to parse all those micropub posts into a nice feed, like the one you have on your website. What tool did you use for that?

Nice! The thing that does most of the work for me is all in a library XRay:

https://github.com/aaronpk/xray

It normalizes content from Microformats feeds as well as Twitter and other stuff. Then it's a matter of reformatting the resulting JSON into a nice feed using some templates

Yeah that's gonna be a process for me and my 16 year old profile.

yuuup. One thing I forgot to mention in the post is some posts from 2004-2006 throw up "Error performing query" messages when I try to delete them.

I might have to use @aaronpk recommendation and just use my FB profile as a "placeholder". Can we dub this FB squatting? lol. https://twitter.com/aaronpk/status/1378792460801830913?s=20

I'd love to see you do a video about this whole process too! I just re-read that post and it's way more intricate of a process than I remembered it being! 😅

Oh cool, I missed that. What desk?

My Flexispot standing desk!

Now my next question is if I ever mention the desk in another livestream so I have to disclose it again? 🤔

Verbal is best IMO because you can explain. With the checkbox, I feel like “ok, what’s your opinion, and what were you paid to say?”

I agree, and that's why I rarely check the box. I prefer to say very clearly what the relationship is at the beginning of the video. I checked the box for my 4 hour desk build stream cause I figured people would be dropping in and out and might not hear my initial disclosure

The YouTube video seems to indicate that even if the company didn’t pay but provided the product for free, you’re supposed to check the box.

my understanding of the FTC's rules is that you need to clearly disclose when you get something of value, whether cash or a product. They don't specify what form that disclosure should take, so either verbal at the beginning of the segment or checking that box is fine.

Problem is, “paid promotion” is pretty ambiguous. And, does checking that box affect YouTube’s algorithm to share your video? Or change the ads it runs, or your potential to earn revenue?

It's super ambiguous, mainly because the definition varies significantly by country. It's anyone's guess whether The Algorithm takes that checkbox into account. 🤷‍♂️
