I work in a production line that makes parts for diesel engines. We wash the parts in water and alkaline solution, then they hit a drier and get dried. Basically a giant dishwasher. The company is multi million dollar and world wide.

Just a long winded way of saying your imagination is wrong

Instead of connecting it to WiFi, have a look into power line adapters. They route your internet through the copper wiring in your house.

I have a router in my subterranean ground floor linked to a power line adapter, a wired router in my front room a floor up so my PC, TV, Playstation, etc are connected via LAN, and another power line 2 floors above that plugged into another WiFi router running in bridge mode, which supplies WiFi to the top two floors, and another playstation wired in to that router

Basically it means that my ground floor router is hooked to the internet and everything else in the house that needs wiring in is wired in because of the power line, and the WiFi is coming from 2 routers, one on the top floor and one on the ground.

My ISP thought a WiFi router on the ground floor of a 4 storey house was a great idea, but they're stupid. WiFi should be in the highest point of your house.

With a few Power line adapters you can sort your internet out for ยฃ25

The general population is very much influenced by the Home Assistant community since the Home Assistant Community is made up of people who are heavily into technology. My parents will run purchases in the tech world past me, as will many of my work colleagues and friends.

The general population are very interested in what we do, even if they do not do it themselves. I mentioned to a tech-phobic friend that I have sensors in my bath that notify me when my bath is run and he takes the piss out of me to my face then talks about how amazing such a thing is behind my back, I know because it happened yesterday. Who do you think he's gonna talk to when he buys his next expensive appliance?

Don't talk our influence down, we have an influence even if you can't see it.

I had 5 minutes so I've just sent em a snotty email. I don't have an air conditioner and won't buy one anytime soon, but shit like this gets my goat.

The older I get, the longer a headbanging hangover lasts.

Last time I went to a gig that I head banged at beginning to end, I had neck pain for A WEEK afterwards. I had to hold my head up with my hand for a couple days when I was eating.

This dude is over a decade older than I am.

Respect the neck

Haha I've just come from a comment about Brexit, and I'd argue that a lot of Humans don't think either.

Wrong explanations only

I do not agree.

Chrome: I know everything about every web page I have ever seen but don't understand it.

So I don't understand how to play a song.

YouTube: I know everything in the video from the thumbnail.

Closer, but I have to rely on the people on YouTube knowing wtf they're talking about, meaning I gain knowledge about a lot of shit, and incorrect knowledge too

So the Spotify one, combined with the knowledge I already have of music, makes more sense for learning music.

Obviously using Musical Knowledge as the example

I can already sing and play the guitar, not brilliantly but idgaf, so the Spotify one is really tempting. But I learned to play the Guitar from YouTube, and also how to speed solve a Rubik's cube and pick a lock, so that one would be super useful too. In fact I could just type in "How to play X song on the guitar"

So one of those two I guess, probably the YouTube one because job interviews would be way easier after a quick scroll through the thumbnails of a quick search before going in.
