That should rather make you think twice on what the ADL has become (or perhaps always was).

This is the worst product page I have ever seen, just a massive wall of text, it's not even scannable for the important stuff.

It's a news post with detailed information. The main page for the device is available here:

> A rational company

I've never worked at a rational company. I'm not sure that's a thing.

One might argue (successfully, I'm not sure) that the influencer referral link program was a form of Ponzi scheme.

Volvo's Epic Split comes to mind.

I thought they used Starshield and not Starlink now? Doesn't USAF control that?

> Without billionaires you wouldn't have SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink or FSD cars.

If that's your best argument, billionaires are in trouble.

That's just the contributions of just one billionaire.

(And keep in mind that FSD cars are 8 times less likely to get in an accident.)

Billionaires get that way by making things and services that people want to buy.

Research tells us that most billionaires get to be billionaires by being mentally ill.

Very few normal, sane, and well balanced people are capable of doing the things required to become a billionaire. That level of wealth requires such a massive disregard for the well-being of the rest of humanity that it leads to some terrible outcomes. Being so wealthy that nobody can really do anything to get in your way is inherently bad for the human mind.

And you can't have democracy (everyone has an equal say) when you have large wealth inequality, because wealth is power. In practice we have a few billionaires who control everything... that's not democracy, that's oligarchy.

I am not sure I'm OK with the fact that people like this are allowed to set the stage, much less roam free.

I'm sure that I'm not!

But it's good that they say this out loud; the sooner that the public comes to realize what monsters are in charge of these labs, the better.

Something is wrong somewhere, because I've had ~15 of those and battery life is 16-20 months for me (I use Battery Notes in HA which keeps a timestamp since you last changed the battery so I have a pretty good view into battery life). I have not adjusted reporting thresholds/intervals in zigbee2mqtt.

They're really annoying to pair though, so I've replaced most of them with Sonoff SNZB-02P which runs a CR2477 battery and I expect the battery life to be at least 3 years; with some luck maybe 4? Not as slim however, but the built-in magnet makes up for it.

I too use Battery Notes, and that is how I know they are only lasting like 3-6 months. There are outliers, some of them have lasted a lot longer, but most are much shorter.
