Have you considered just putting the lights in the same group? If you can make your switches control the group you should be all set.

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/group/

You might also be able to link them together on the Z-Wave/Zigbee level, depending on your hardware.

"Just Google it" was always worthless advice, even when Google worked right. When you look up information on the Internet, you need prior knowledge in order to assess the information. Maybe this is great info? Maybe it's dumb and whoever wrote it is a moron? Without prior knowledge you don't know. With prior knowledge you can see what they say about the things you already know and decide from that.

I once tried to configure a Cisco access point, with zero prior experience with Cisco IOS. Simple stuff, but I knew nothing and had to Google it. I found some blog explaining it, but it looked weird. But I also knew IOS is weird, so maybe it's right? Hard to say! I reached out to an old friend who is Cisco certified to verify, he told me to ignore that thing and showed me what I should actually do. It really made me realize how useless googling something is if you don't have the prior knowledge to assess it.

Geocities were gone before Gen Z was born. They were born after 2000 and grew up with tablets and apps. A Gen Z family member of mine learned about file folders from me after the age of 18.

The challenge makes sense coming from Trump. He was super proud that he passed a cognitive test earlier, while everyone else was asking what prompted the test in the first place. No doubt he thinks he's actually smart for having passed and thinks he could beat Biden.

This is sad to see. It's a great movie except for the inherent spoilers due to it being a prequel (instead of going "oh shit" you go "ah, this is where she loses her arm"), and it deserves better than bombing. I hope it recovers in the next couple of weeks, but at this rate they'll probably cancel The Wasteland.

To be fair, any modern truck built for the US market will kill you on the spot, usually by squishing you like a bug against the grill. A Cybertruck is low enough that it will probably just chop off your legs, so you probably still die, but you can have a half open casket! 🎉

Fair, I was thinking in the context of Stack Overflow.

Why not skip the middle man and ask ChatGPT directly?

You probably mean Comic Chat. It was actually just an IRC client, and I think it's still usable (but frustratingly ineffective) today. But there is a website where you can convert IRC logs to it, I think.

Russians kept using it, just like Brazilians kept Orkut alive for years.

They were acquired recently.

Mirabilis created ICQ. AOL bought Mirabilis in 1998. Russian investor DST (which soon became Mail.ru and later VK) bought ICQ from AOL in 2010, probably because Russians were among the few nationalities still using it. Russians were over 25% of the hits, and it was the biggest instant messenger in Russia at the time. They also own VKontakte, hence why they're directing people there.

Yeah, that was my assumption as well. I wonder how they're going to work around that SO is getting spammed with AI-generated answers, though. You really don't want your LLM cannibalizing itself.
