I assume you have a larger home than me, but 30 seems high

Switched to energy saving bulbs when I bought my first place end of last millennium, and by mid 2000-and-naughts went with LEDs as they became available. All I've had fail was 1 in kid's room where the line is unstable (seems to be shaken lose by the nearby metro line), while I've replaced perhaps 4 IKEA (decade old) bulbs due their low output and slow power-up

Even my (1st gen) LIFX lights are still going, tho the networking in them are long-since dead, and somehow the couple of cheapo ZigBee-based LED bulbs aren't fried yet (I really expect them to die early...very cheap "no-name" lights off of AliExpress)

Yeah, fsck deaf people and others who use it to get a tactile or otherwise notification via their mobile phone :)
I have something set up to trigger my phone when the dryer or washer ends, and it also alerts my kid so they can go deal with it if I'm being lazy or out.

(also, apparently people were saving money because it alerted them when clothes were dry before the dryer program stopped on its own)

Sony moved pretty much everything Playstation to the US just prior to this generation, and it's now effectively the home-market, plus the one where they aren't generally out-performing MS/Xbox

Can't be; if used by anyone with any airborne disease, it'll blow particles everywhere

Basically, it's a portable super-spreader event if used during anything akin to the COVID pandemic

Counterpoint: Anybody who talks about who's right and who's wrong at this stage of the pandemic is acting prematurely

We won't know what was better until 2021 or 2022

Damn, MsSmash, that post isn't loaded at all, nu-uh...

I have had no significantly bad experiences with Lufthansa, and they've handled delays, re-routes etc admirably every time.

I have had no good, or acceptable, or really barely tolerable experiences with KLM.

Flown half the word for work, had plenty of poor experiences, KLM is the only one I've ever asked a booking agency to blacklist in my profile.

What, you haven't read the article, and haven't gone balls-to-the-walls MAGA over the headline? Are you sure you're on the right website?

For years recommended people to NOT fly KLM at any cost

Prolly prefer them alive instead of denied critical medical attention

just aim the packages at your production facilities

Fuck off with this neo-imperialistic bullshit, we don't need US "Standard Practice in Contracts" to be law in EU just because it upsets US companies doing business over here.

Well, it IS part of Europe, geographically, and it IS part of the Council of Europe and it IS a signatory to the European Charter of Human Right (req by CoE), and it IS subject to the European Court of Human Rights (req by Charter).

But thanks for playing.

Since late '90s I've installed energy saving bulbs (different types over the years) where ever I lived (except for a couple of 2-month sublets), and I've never replaced one, except for a single first-gen IKEA LED bulb.
6 years in one place, almost 13 here, couple of years somewhere else.
Key is to not buy crap ones, off-brands/store brands seem to have issues from what I've read, but e.g. Phillips has been consistently good for me.
Quality of the electricity might also influence them; Lots can't handle dimming, which could be a problem if you have brown-outs etc.
Currently living above a metro-line, the shaking seems to have killed regular bulbs, and I do worry that it will kill the current LEDs by shaking them loose and rattling them in their socket.

Argument: AMD wouldn't want to support DXR right now because they have no properly DXR compliant HW, and their next targets are PS5 and Apple (Navi) where they will focusing on Vulcan and Metal
