Are you dealing with aliexpress or the store? Escalating is straight up necessary - one relay board I bought had the MC enable pin grounded and after fixing that the relay pin would flicker high on boot. No idea how that got to production as without modifications it didn't work at all, then with mods only worked badly. The store first didn't understand the issue then accused me of user error. Escalation was my go to

Co2 can be effective as a mild anesthetic at certain percentage, causing relaxation and drowsiness. So can be used to euthanize animals humanely and without toxicity. If the levels rise above that threshold, you experience a burning throat and a feeling of suffocation. Which is not humane. I imagine it's what the videos show.

I bought 4 4tb HDDs for $500 total last year, went to buy a spare last month and they're $250 each now. So no. Not even a little bit true.

Overnight and school hours make up the majority of hours in a week, those must be staffed by 18+ by law. Given that a store remains in one place, there's a finite number of 18-20yo over a given period. A store that routinely uses this to maintain low wages will be left with low potential candidates, on top of increased costs of training and uniform since each hypothetical candidate is only good for 6 months.

Before this change I think it was easier to select based on age- the window was 2 years and incremental. Now there's going to be a 6 month window including training for those essential positions. Maybe I'm being optimistic but it seems like a positive step.

Yeah so you'd probably just be grounding the positive side of the button momentarily. I'm pretty sure I did that with a ducted heater remote once, if it's 3.3 you can just attach it to a pin from your board, then send the pin low to press. 5v you might want a level shifter in between. Have you used esphome before/do you have home assistant? Then you can automate the press to a motion sensor or widget on your phone.

You need electrical experience, I wouldn't recommend anyone to work with high voltages unless they knew what they were doing. The method depends on the device, every one is different. For the aircon unit the esp is an internal remote, so I spent time decoding that model's IR codes and building a platform for reliable control via home assistant. I have fans around the house that use mains voltage motors with 3 speeds, those got an interlocked 3 channel relay board. The ice maker used digital logic, so the esp sits between the control board and the rest and intercepts button presses to keep track of state and the injects its own commands for remote control(not my work). If you are lucky there will be a guide on the internet you can apply to your specific device, otherwise you'll have to work the project out solo from smaller guides.

Yeah home built and programmed smart devices are the way to go. I'm addicted to the rush of making dumb appliances automated.

The smartphone controlled aircon for $150 extra? Slap a $4 Esp in that. $400 to get sleek control of your central heating? $4 Esp. Turn on the ice maker on the commute home? You guessed it, $4 Esp.

This is proof of citizenship. Not drivers license or proof of age. Passport, birth cert plus supporting, citizenship cert and supporting. Discrepancy between the latter two options resulting from change of name could disqualify voters.

Then you have my country where you enroll to vote, which requires id, lasts forever and you only have to update your address. On the day the volunteer looks up my given name on a ledger for my area, asks for my address and phone number, then explains how to write my vote.
