Did you read my post, or just the subject? I’m not asking for help, just sharing an observation - just in case I got a bunch of "me too"s.

I resolved my issue by unplugging and replugging my Zooz USB stick.

It seemed to be a hardware issue - the blue light on the controller was out until I removed and replaced it. It’s too much of a coincidence for me though that I just happened to have this hardware issue at the time when the software that uses that hardware was being updated.

I use Vendor/Product ID to access it:

# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP210x UART Bridge
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1a86:55d4 QinHeng Electronics 800 Z-Wave Stick

I feel that this battle is lost. Many of the cars that blind me are newer models with (presumably) the headlights they came from the factory with. Yes, the lifted redneck trucks with ill adjusted LED “bulbs” in reflectors that were made for halogens, are worse - but not a lot.

As long as design regulations allow it, they will build it. So, anyone wanting to do anything about this should focus their energy on lobbying their relevant government agency.

Maybe someone might invent night driving glasses that can filter the particularly annoying wavelengths.

I’m not a server admin., just a user. The Lemmy instance I’m on setup a Piefed instance in parallel and is giving users the option to use either, or both. I’m still trying to get my head around the history and the pros/cons of each but for now it seems like I’m switching to Piefed. I imagine that if most users move then the Lemmy instance might get shutdown in the future.

and added the government had “rigorously applied international law” in relation to the war in Gaza.

I’m no lawyer, but if the law allows for the continued sale of weapons to a government when there is an active arrest warrant for the leader of said government, for misuse of those weapons - then the law is broken.

And it’s not just any arrest warrant - the warrant is issued by the ICC, and the UK is a state party to the Rome Accord, which is the treaty that gives the ICC authority.

I didn’t know all that, I went and looked it up for this comment. The Wikipedia page was interesting reading.

yeah, I need a TPU - my CPU is 5 generations too old

but not really sure what you are doing?

I want to install one of these in a machine that doesn’t have an M.2 slot.

Done - thanks

Yes - I should have noted that I’m using “Compact UI” = “Yes - thumbnails only”.

I should also add that the current layout has advantages. When scrolling other platforms in “mindless meme mode” it’s frustrating to click on a thumbnail expecting to expand the image and instead following a link to an article.

Ideally Image posts and other posts should appear subtly different in the feed - different enough that you know what you’re clicking on, but not so different that they interfere with the visual flow of the feed page. I have no design skills and can’t suggest how that might be implemented, but I’ll know it when I see it :-)
