Blast my addled brain. I swear one of their products was hard-wired.

Good luck on your hunt and let us know where you land!

Yes the MSC-1 is battery only. There is another part number that is smoke only and interlink/hardwired.

Sidenote: you can click through for the UL x-sense products here.

I just went through this battle and ended up ordering a set of sensereo MS-1 (matter over thread and home assistant ready) to replace the battery-only detectors in our basement. Our main floor is nest protect hard-wired.

While this product isn't UL certified, it is EN certified and the functional difference seems to be 85db at 3m vs 10ft. And their website says they're working on a UL certified model.

They do have a hard-wired interlink model too: https://sensereo.com/ms-1-interlink/ but that's smoke only. And again EN certified but not UL.

But at least it's an alternative to the x-sense products.

The reviews of the official replacement (FA SC-5) are mixed to awful.

RFC3339 or RFC9557 or bust.

2 ten-packs would be a real score.

Fucking NPCs on the freeway!

/s of course, but yeah: road rage.

If you want to blend some French in there: À la board.

Don't forget the mandatory quarterly drug testing at the shittiest understaffed LabCorp "branch" at least 45 minutes from both work and home.

What else would a good actor do?

Sidenote: I think Face Off is a perfect embodiment of this sentiment. An objectively terrible movie with a monumentally dumb premise, and his acting is what takes it from unwatchable to downright fun.

Flex tape or other wet seal tape for hose repair.

Channel lock and a small mixed set of worm drive clamps.

Other things I don't see mentioned: JB weld, RTV (silicone sealant), thread chasers, tire spoons, dialectric grease, all depends on the services you want to offer!

 

I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

No ragrets.

No regerts.

Team red 4lyfe (again).

 

I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don't have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).

I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it's always nice to have a reason to get new tools.

In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.

 

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
