BAH! Discovered my automated IR remote control isn't sending commands to my air purifier. I recalled having a similar problem several months back and, when I looked at my old notes, saw it came from a forced firmware upgrade. And sure enough, they pushed out a new firmware upgrade a week ago, which seemed to break their SDK functionality. Again.

I really appreciate links to articles based outside the US. Seeing websites from other countries shows very clearly how homogenized US websites and mass media have become.

My least favourite part of `the web`

No Adobe, there will be *no time ever* in which I will open a document in Acrobat Pro and want an AI summary rather than reading it. The entire point of opening is to read it, not your guess of what it says.
