  • The same behavior happened when sync came out. Endless complaints about an app being from on app store with the option to pay the hard working developer for their work.

    Do they go on public transit complaining that see ads there too? At least when you pay for the app the ads go away forever.


  • I have had USB-C phones, battery packs and other devices since 2015. Not a single port or cable has failed me so far.

    Worrying about the durability of USB-C 7 years later seems unwarranted. But I can see wanting to use up your lighting cable subscription before moving on.

    I told my partner, just get the phone ASAP when you can, it’s the only non usb thing we have left.






  • For dimmers, you either need smart bulbs that do it themselves or a dimmer switch that you know is guaranteed to work with that bulb, it’s tricky. Also, LED lights that get warmer (change colour tone to a more orange colour) as they dim are far more pleasing than just dimming since they emulate what incandescent bulbs do. Sometimes if the power supply to your unit or building is choppy leds are the first to show it, so hope it’s not that.

    Good luck with your landlord, let’s hope they’re a good one.



  • I’m curious about what fixtures your led light bulbs were in.

    Old incandescent lights worked great at high heat levels, so a typical boob light fixture that kept the heat in would be fine for an incandescent. Put an LED light in there, and it can still heat up beyond design capacity and might not get enough ventilation and age prematurely.

    The only leds that failed for me were inside a fixture meant for incandescent lights. All our open bulbs or specially designed for led fixtures have been going strong for half a decade or more.
