Yup, spot on, I didn't explain it clearly enough but how you articulate it is better: it does indeed have a digital "On" switch so just giving it power doesn't achieve what I need

Yeah, I wish I did but alas not

I feel like I'd benefit from a smart dehumidifier.

I'm on a Time Of Use tariff where my electricity is very cheap at night. I'd like to be able to schedule for it to come on for those 5hrs in the winter to take the moisture out of my shed-office. It achieves nothing to put it on a smart meter as you have to physically press go on the dehumidifier

What's madness to me is that people in my country have a holiday to the US booked... and are still going.

My safety is worth more than a few sunk thousand

What's great is Canada is pushing forward will alternative negotiations. The US should know that they need to get to the table immediately before all the deals are done

Thanks, pocketcast is US so I'm moving to your proposal of AntennaPod

I'm afraid I've had to give up on Anytime Player, there's too many bugs and it's missing key functionality. Gone to AntennaPod but too early to say

That's my concern but I'm giving it a go. I asked Le Chat and it said it originated from a developer in Germany so that's good enough for me

I'm not in the US but that's truly chilling to hear. When you're not surrounded by it, you don't realise how normalised something becomes in a different part of society.

Great point, what sort of a hellscape is that!?

Who decides which country is "crazy"?!

I get it, and if there was one standing next to them I'm sure he would have but your natural instinct when you haven't been served on your whole life is to help someone in this situation.

I'm not a simp for him or his party but just feel he gets a pass on this one
