Re:A manifesto on shower temperature control on Thursday February 02, 2023 @06:41PM (#34634962)
I've focused on this problem for some time too.

The ultimate solution was to buy a color changing shower head from LIDL. This made it so easy to always be in the right temperature zone when taking a shower. It seems to be self powered.

The shower head has lighting that turns to green when the temperature is between 34-38C° and to red when it's above 38°, and is in blue when it's below 34°C.

It also shows the current temperature as a display which you can see while you are under the shower.

I hope this helps.

This seems to pop from time to time, see my previous comment from nearly 3.5 months ago. Nothing has changed. No releases.

I really wanted to like Onivim 2, but went back to Visual Studio code after supporting the creator on Patreon for a while. The last build and creator update was provided months ago for supporters.

I also wanted to vote against the pricing model, because I think it should be a one time purchase. The creator and his company behind the editor tries to create a serious FOMO on likely customers. I considered it to be a red flag on a potential abandonment. Additionally, I felt it would be easier for Visual Studio code become faster than Onivim 2 can have support for all Visual Studio code extensions.

On the plus side, Onivim 2 has some smart defaults which made it a joy to use. I encourage anyone who thinks about buying Onivim 2 to first learn how to fine tune VS Code to look and feel like Onivim 2 because you can.

A subscription to remove a forced watermark? No thank you.

I wish this to be "Sherlock"d by Apple, hopefully on the next OS release.
