    @aaronpk So I can see now why the home automation topic was burning a hole in your proverbial content pocket. Lots going on there, right now,... on the home front.

    Aaron Parecki
    This is just one of many home automation projects in the works!

    Thanks, but this is only the temporary space! This goes back to being a rental after the big project is done!

    @aaronpk Same goes for boxes unopened since the last move.

    Aaron Parecki

    @aaronpk upper right looks like Ghibli and lower left Pixar. Not sure about the others. Good luck.

    Aaron Parecki
    Good one! First is "kawaii" and last is "Rembrandt" but you got the other 2!

    @aaronpk Networking cables I assume. I love that I'm not the only one still installing wires for networks.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah! Ethernet everywhere!

    @aaronpk Is it an electric bike? Do you do live switching? If so, with what?

    Aaron Parecki
    It wasn't when I got it, but I swapped the front wheel with a Swytch kit and it's been amazing!

    @aaronpk donโ€™t rate-limit my leftovers!

    Aaron Parecki
    I swear microwave UX design got forked in an alternate reality in the 1980s and has kept evolving in its own timeline since

    @aaronpk While not much is less appealing than an IOT microwave, _maybe_ one would solve my gripes? Or possibly just create new ones.

    Aaron Parecki
    at this point, my criteria for microwaves is whether I can press the +30s button repeatedly. My current microwave makes you wait 2 seconds after each button press to add 30s at a time and it's infuriating.

    @aaronpk Same! I have had to break out a USB B cable to do network reconfigure a couple times. But Brother seem to actually respect their customers.

    Aaron Parecki
    Ironically the USB-B cable method didn't work today, even when I busted out my windows laptop to run their windows config app. I ended up having to recreate the previous wifi SSID that it was connected to and then I used the web interface to enable the ethernet port again.

    @aaronpk I still love my Brother laser printer.

    Aaron Parecki
    me too! I've had this HL-2270DW since 2014! I am determined to keep it running!

    @aaronpk for printers, I always leave set to DHCP and then assign a static IP from the router.

    That way. When it inevitably breaks, there's less to touch in the printer settings (and it's more likely to come back online)

    Aaron Parecki
    My problem was the printer was previously configured for wifi and the ethernet jack was disabled. Still can't believe recreating the wifi SSID was the solution
