For me it’s a fun hobby, plain and simple. Some people like maintaining saltwater tanks, some people like miniature train sets, I like maintaining a smart home and automating repeat tasks.

Yeah, how is “end” in god tier and “home” in replace tier? They’re 2 sides of the same coin

Tbf the people at the end of this line will wait maximum 20 minutes. They can achieve this because instead of doing the typical intercom->window fast food setup they have employees outside walking between cars and putting the order into iPads, then another set walking food to your car.

On another note, those outdoor employees are regularly forced to stay outside in extreme heat and cold without proper protection. If they want to wear a jacket it has to be a Chick-fil-A jacket, which they have to buy from the company. Lots of videos online about people working the drive thru line.

I moved away from “Gaming headsets” years ago and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Bad audio quality, connection issues, and poor longevity are rampant problems.

I’m an advocate for a desktop mic and a nice set of headphones. I use a blue yeti snoball and a pair of Sony Wh1000-xm3’s. I am considering upgrading to some open back Sennheisers though.

The main disadvantage is that you can’t walk to the kitchen/bathroom and keep talking in discord but it’s well worth it for audio quality and longevity.

I bought my two sensors two years ago now. Haven’t had to replace the batteries yet and no connection issues or anything. I use one of them to turn on the lights at my front door when I open it and it’s always done it’s job quickly. Z-wave so ofc you’ll need a dongle.

Teamspeak has a pretty slick new version that looks very much like discord. Not fediverse but pretty easy to self-host.
