Firefox@lemmy.ml•Firefox Nightly adds Web Serial after years of saying noEnglish
8·2 months agoThis has always felt like something that doesn’t belong in a web browser to me.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Thermostats compatible with selfhosted Home AssistantEnglish
3·3 months agoI’m using a Drayton Wiser thermostat, which uses WiFi but has a fully local integration via HACS. Has worked great for me so far.
Maybe it’s just me but it’s felt like a particular bleak January and February this year.
Happy to see some sun even if that also comes with the start of allergy season.

World News@lemmy.world•Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested and in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public officeEnglish
267·4 months agoAs a British person that’s something I thought I’d never see.
Arrested on his birthday too.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public officeEnglish
8·4 months agoWell that’s something I thought I would never see.
The school thing is a good point. We called hot meals at school dinners, that were served by dinner ladies.
But we also had packed lunches that we ate out of lunchboxes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Hazardous substances found in all headphones tested by ToxFREE projectEnglish
23·4 months agoBPAs have been shown to absorbed through the skin. Headphones are increasingly worn for long, continuous periods. Unlike other plastic objects which are handled for shorter periods.
I’m not entirely convinced of the danger myself (tinnitus seems a bigger worry for headphone use to me), but I thought it was a matter worthy of further discussion.
Tea. Dinner only used for Sundays or Christmas.

Technology@lemmy.world•Passive RFIDs can now stream telemetry data from sensorsEnglish
2·4 months agoMostly Zigbee. Depending on the sensor, location and activity I’m getting between 6-18 months per battery, but I do have a lot of sensor, so there’s a regular churn of batteries.

Technology@lemmy.world•Passive RFIDs can now stream telemetry data from sensorsEnglish
10·4 months agoHaving passive sensors for smart home use would save me lot of time and money changing batteries. Interesting to see where this goes.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Why this school will ditch a shirt, tie and blazer from its uniformEnglish
2·4 months agoI didnt realise how rich some of my friends were until I went to their house. The uniform made us all equals in the classroom
Uniforms have never done that in my experience, because there are plenty of wealth signifiers outside of uniforms kids will still notice (pencil cases, bags, PE trainers, mobile phones etc), and even the uniforms themselves are not worn equally. The rich kids have clean uniforms that get regular replaced each term, the poor ones had dirty and ill fitting hand-me-downs.

Technology@lemmy.world•LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV marketEnglish
1·4 months agoFor a lot of people most of their content isn’t even 1080p. Plenty of people watching DVDs and many TV channels only broadcast in SD.
Display technology has long outpaced content delivery.

1·2 years agoDigimon started as a Tamogotchi clone more than a Pokémon clone, the original Digimon toys were virtual pet devices.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Daniel Khalife pleads not guilty to escaping custody at Wandsworth prisonEnglish
0·3 years agoMaybe he somehow fell and got stuck under the truck, and then got lost on his way back to the prison?
As far as I know you can enter a not guilty plea regardless of the circumstances. Maybe he wants to appear a martyr, and use the resulting trial to attract attention.





















Maybe you could improve this by using two separate Firefox profiles? One for the normal tabs you keep open all the time, and another for the temporary ones which you can apply much stricter data retention settings to?
