Just quickly searching "Brother Printer" on Amazon and every listing has "Includes Refresh Subscription Trial" in the title.

While this is interesting it wouldn't work for my needs, mostly because I'm not the one using the printer most of the time. I need something that can print on heavy card stock.

I use a z-wave thermostat (Honeywell T6 IIRC). If you want to avoid the cloud WiFi probably isn’t what you want. I’d look at z-wave or zigbee models. Some thermostats also require a common wire (C-wire) which means they’re powered by the HVAC system itself rather than using batteries. This is especially true of WiFi models.

The cameras are connected to a Unifi Dream Machine Pro. Home Assistant is running on a Raspberry Pi 4.

¯(ツ)_/¯ maybe. I assumed the detection happened on the NVR (Dream Machine Pro in my case).

I don't own a yellow but I'm also blind. I'm not sure it would be that difficult to set up physically from what I know. IIRC you just have to slot the compute module in place.

I wonder if making the ring faster would help get it further away from Yih’s surface. Or would that require making the planet spin faster and messing up the day/night cycle⸮

I hadn't thought of the ring's relative rotational speed, and had assumed the material would have zero ground speed, but that doesn't make sense as that won't provide enough centrifugal force to keep the debris in orbit. This may be another thing I choose to ignore.

After some sleep I realized that having the ring so close shouldn't prevent it from taking on the iconic arch shape in culture. The ring should be faintly visible on summer days with no shadow. The shadow would appear on one side and move across the ring through the course of the night, so the full shape of the ring would be recognizable.

Also, Commonthroat now as a word rMrmg /chuff, long low strong grunt; chuff, short low strong grunt, short low weak growl/ which means both the shadow cast on the ring by Yih as well as the hand of a clock or the dial of a gauge.

When visible during the summer, the shadow would move from right to left counterclockwise across the ring when viewed from the historically more populous southern hemisphere, which reinforces the right to left and counterclockwise directions of screws and analog gauges prompted by the yinrih being predominantly left handed and writing from right to left. This ironically makes "counterclockwise" for humans "clockwise" for yinrih.

Back to the ring's size, the roche limit is the outer radius, and with more research I believe the inner radius should be the edge of Yih's atmosphere. Again, I'm ignoring how brief rings tend to live (I read somewhere they tend to last around 100 thousand years, with Saturn's rings lasting longer thanks to its moons). Culturally, the lower bound of the ring represents the edge of space, and it's the presence of the ring that makes spaceflight so difficult and dangerous at first. But the yinrih's scientific community is also a religion with a strong martyrdom culture. I think of the pre space age Bright Way like OceanGate. Stubborn persistence and zeal win out in the end, though not without a shockingly high body count.

Not unless there's a Home Assistant auto body disposal as well. Also I was wrong, it was a opossum.

I'll look into that, though I was hoping for more of a plug n play solution.
