I’ve bought additional #SmartHome devices today, but apparently the #WifeApprovalFactor is very low.
The setup is 2 color bulbs with 2 remotes for each of my boys desk lamps. I guess I’ve made a mistake to set it up just before the sleep and now my Wife is angry, because they now are trying to play with it…🙄
@JSCybersec Thanks for the kind advice! Unfortunately, the availability of such hardware in EU is somewhat limited, as we have a different format of the electrical boxes and there’s no neutral across the entire apartment…
On the top of that, I’ve managed to get ahold of a remote that looks exactly like my current Zigbee switches for half the price - damaged box!🥹
Now there’s #WifeApprovalFactor in play as well! Waiting for my Waifu to get back home to check if she have noticed what I’ve done…🫣
We’ve also been to Ikea and I’ve sneaked in (paid of course, but low #WifeApprovalFactor) a #Zigbee closed/open door sensor.
My Waifu says it’s pointless, but I’ve seen kids opening the doors on random and venting the apartment without any reason. It’s going to have it’s use in my head.
Pretty intense day in my book… I’m surprised I haven’t been more pissed off during all the events, as it was all chaos…
@fhekland Yeah, read about it too… It’s been suggested as a possible solution in cases people can’t get it running at all.
Mine is running ok most of the time, having issues on occasion, lowering #WifeApprovalFactor significantly…🤡
In the spirit of probing the #WifeApprovalFactor, I’ve created a conversation by returning to my desk after 3 weeks of recovery.
I have immediately started complaining about my current monitor’s DPI and how uncomfortable for my eyes the resolution difference is compared to iPad Pro.
She immediately started laughing maniacally, instantly seeing through a smoke…😂
I guess I will have to fight for it a bit more…🫣🤣🤷🏻♂️
This looks SO MUCH better… #WifeApprovalFactor bonus points have been gained!😂 It’s now 1 PDU instead of 3 power strips. Easier to manage, easier to clean, easier on the eyes… Yes, I like to look at the hardware inside…😎
At some point I will have to add 2 more fans to that black chassis, as Raspberry Pi and a hard drive inside are idling at 60°C. Also, I think I will take the modem out of that chassis, but I’m not 100% sure yet…
I’ve been wanting those #8BitDo bluetooth Nintendo themed controllers for RetroPi, but it didn’t sit right with me to pay €40 for a gamepad for kids.
Today I went against my gut and I have bought one - discounted exposition model for half the price and I feel somewhat violated.
The #WifeApprovalFactor was high, though. Hoping it will be in a nice condition. Damn, I’m hoping it will ever arrive…🤣
EDIT…
Damn, I’ve just found another one - used…😅🙈 Guess what…🤦🏻♂️
@extrowerk Haha! That’s funny! Unfortunately, I’m not in charge of the money at work and, what’s worse - I have to look at the #WifeApprovalFactor at home…🤣
In terms of spending money it’s always very strict set of rules…😂
@extrowerk This looks nice, but it has really low #WifeApprovalFactor…🤣 It’s to big, as it has to fit into a half of 1 unit Besta cupboard along with 1U gateway, switch, modem and RPi.
It also looks like loud fans which my wife will instantly dub LOUD NOISE…🤣
I’d go with it in an instant if I was single, though!
