I’m just this guy, you know?
You get what you pay for, though. I’ve had nothing but good experiences as an Amex card holder. You need to live a lifestyle that gives you opportunities to use the system, but you can offset the cost of even the Platinum charge card if you sign up for, and then use, all the perks.
For how I use it, I’d say it pays for itself.
edit to add: their customer service is always stellar, and their disputes department are really effective.
What brand of shirt do you wear? Also, which wrist do you prefer to wear a watch-- left, right or middle?
Excellent.
The tears will be delicious, and I shall slurp them.
SLURP THEM, I say!
I’ve been happy with the GE Enbrighten series, though they do require a neutral wire. I use the Z-Wave models, but I can’t imagine the ZigBee models would work any differently.
Neat feature of the Enbrighten line is they recognize several gestures including short tap, long press, double tap, and I think even triple tap. I configured mine so that short taps on/off toggle the lights between off and 100% on, long press on/off brightens/dims, and double tap on activates the preferred evening lighting scene.
I think Minoston are also a GE product line? Again, Z-Wave, but rated for higher wattage in my case. They also require a neutral wire.
I had a pair of no-neutral ZigBee switches sold as ‘Martin Jerry’ brand, but they were super dodgy. Terrible feel to them, and they made a sort of electrical whine when the fixture was on. I pulled them right out and sent them back.
I don’t know this for sure, but if you installed the mobile companion app thru the Store for your platform, then the integration is probably using its push API to reach your device remotely.
I’m >90% sure notification workflows find me even when I am remote and untethered from home when I notify the app on my mobile devices.
It’ll be remembered a dark age when the lights go out and all the disks rot. And, if I know archaeologists, they’ll call our data centers ritual centers or temples.
Otherwise there will be disbelief at the inexplicably sophisticated engineering, and how we could have achieved it all with no written records. Probably it was all just ancient aliens.
The rankness of a fart can be expressed in decibel-Farts (dBF), a logarithmic scale where dBF = 10 log10(F1/F2).
Characterizing F in standard units is a bit of a chore, but broadly speaking the resolution concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in air for humans-- the concentration at which 50% of people can detect its odor-- is about 4.73ppb, or 4.73 x 10^-9.
A cubic meter of air at sea level (1 atm or 760mmHg) at 15°C contains about 2.53 x 10^25 molecules of mixed gasses. Scaling to a cubic meter, the volume for detection of H2S for humans would be about 1.19 x 10^17 H2S molecules per cubic meter. This value is your F2, our reference intensity for detecting farts.
A typical human fart has a concentration of anywhere between .001ppm and 1ppm of H2S concentration, or between 1x10^-9 and 1x10^-6, or scaled to between 2.53x10^19 and 2.53x10^22 H2S molecules in a cubic meter of air.
Therefore the rankness of a typical fart could be expressed as a decibel ratio vs the resolution density falling somewhere between 23dBF and 53dBF.
This is a useful expression of rankness for modeling attenuation over time, accounting for dispersion, wind drift, and distance from the zero point.
That’s the neat part, you don’t!
Seems It was actually 2024.6.1 that introduced the change. Not sure where in this release notes it said it was a breaking change, but
I’m all turned around. I updated the main post with the link to the PR and I had the right version from the get-go.

Smashing Pumpkins 1979 was released on their 1995 album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Its already much longer between 2024 and 1995 than it is between 1995 and 1979. Almost by twice!
I remember the actual 1979. Egads, I’m old.
I happen to have LMDE installed on a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 (Gen 3) tablet. It has a stylus that takes a AAAA (yes, quad-A) battery. Its an i5 or i7 Intel processor, and has a 3k Wacom sensor display. I’ve played with Inkscape on it and I think it fits the bill nicely, but it’s also discontinued.
Cinnamon was the only DE with DPI scaling that worked worth a damn, and also had good native support for screen autorotation and onscreen keyboard.
I need to completely wipe and reinstall the system now because I configured my slices too small, and for some reason decided not to put root in an LVM like a sane person would have (it was 2017 tho. Different times…)
Anyhoo, if you can come by one through the refurb market, I think it comes closest to your spec, saving the no-battery stylus.
That’s almost exactly what I was looking for! I even tried searching stainless mesh on Amazon and it kept steering me to screen door meshes & chicken wire.
The new AI algorithms suuuuck.
