This just raises more questions.

I used to live near someone who had "Mum use this one", so in OpenWRT I set up several networks with the names:

"Mum use THIS one!" "Mum Use This One" "MUM USE THIS ONE" "Mum use this one (real)" etc, etc

Steven Toast saying "Ray bloody Purchase" here.

No update after thirteen hours. Wife wanted to decorate the tree. He dead.

When I can be bothered (not often) I get a real one. The smell is amazing, it looks great and the imperfections and variations make it look much nicer. Oh, and the best bit? When I take it down I get to take it to the goat farm down the road - they go absolutely fucking nuts for fir trees.

As someone who is all-in on smart home kit, I tend to agree. Everyone who visits my home loves how it all works, but I have a strict rule that nothing is connected to the Internet: it's either a local protocol (ZigBee, Matter) or connected to a local-only VLAN and is orchestrated by Home Assistant. It's increasingly difficult to recommend products to people starting out that don't involve some vague cloud service that can't be relied on, and most people don't want to go from zero to Home Assistant.

Nigel Farage. Donald Trump. JD Vance. Liz Truss. Boris Johnson.

Oh, wait, did you mean "trashy" to insinuate "poor"? Because also, no.

Not sure but it involves walking up to a stranger, spontaneously making conversation with them, handing over a sheet of paper full of your personal information and they being judged for how well you did which sounds about as anti-Lenmy as it gets.

And get a password manager. They solve the problem of both password reuse and typing it in the wrong field.

The reason they were called that is becaus a lot of early models use ultrasonic rather than infrared or radio so they made a loud clicking noise. My grandparents and aunts were familiar with those so they still called all remotes the clicker.

The thing is, growing up we had a Bang & Olufsen TV remote that had clicky buttons - really, very satisfyingly clicky - even though it used RF, but I just assumed all remotes were like that and that's why they were called clickers.

Kinda weird how you started by asking an interesting question but then spend the last two-thirds of your post going full-on tin foil hat.
