Alanna 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️This 2 gang light switch was €2.75 in B&Q and looks nicer than the old one ~20 mins to replace the old one. Probably saved us €100 and loads of time just waiting to see if a Sparky actually turns up!

How to fix: Windows automatically goes to Dark Mode (after Oct 16th 2025)
Problem: Windows automatically goes to dark or light mode, no matter what is set in the system settings. Even worse: when you change the mode in the system settings, windows switches back after a few seconds. Solution: Check if you have MS PowerToys installed (and very likely updated recently
Dummy-X 🇮🇹PowerToys si è aggiornato ed ha introdotto (con attivazione automatica) l'interruttore della luce, ovvero il Light Switch che attiva e disattiva la modalità dark in automatico in base all'orario. Ho perso mezza giornata per capire perché la modalità scura si disabilitava sempre da sola.

Jon SullivanHere's an old light switch that's in the basement of a house across the street from us. It works like any light switch. Click it one way and it’s dark. Click it the other way and the light's on.
Notice anything odd about it?
(Does anyone know why it would be this way? It's cast metal so it's seems like an unlikely mistake.)
MikiHere is my Tiki light switch cover that I sculpted, it still needs to have a mold made of it, and i will cast it similar to the Tiki Flask that I made. I will have it up in my shop once I have some made. Shop link in bio. #art #artwork #sculpture #sculptureart #sculpt #tiki #tikiart #tikiartist #tikicarving #artist #lightswitchcover #lightswitch

Smart Home JunkieHere's this week's new video!
These Aqara products solved my problems with taping over my switches!
PerryHoping someone out there can offer the advice I need to solve some of my light fittings 😅
I’ve got a few of the #aqara #zigbee light switches around, but have a few points that are like these brown switch panel on rough brick. I’m not sure how I’m going to get a switch to sit on that as they’re 2-3 gang vertically, are smaller, and it seems as though the brick was cut to fit them.
The Aqara switches are larger and wouldn’t fit.. so is there some custom mould I could put there to raise the switches from the wall?

Chiel G, NeveleMy current home in Melbourne is my first house in Australia where the lightswitches make sense. The button closest to the kitchen turns the kitchen light on, and not an overhead light in the hallway. The switch closest to the door turns the outside light on, and not a back patio somewhere. Only recently realised how much I missed that sense of sanity in my life in the last 13 years 😂
