It is all a gimmick but as long as people are switching to a chromium based browser and not Firefox I'm happy. With that said, I don't know how anyone would trust a small team to build them a secure and safe browser. Chrome is so battle tested at this point and Google puts a lot of resources in maintaining it, they stand to lose a lot more given their scale.

This has been happening to me too with PG&E. The page wouldn't load until the Amplitude calls finish.

How many if you had to estimate?

While testing, I noticed that some flags do nothing or contradict each other, but I wasn't sure if I was correctly using/understanding the flags.

Wait, what? I missed this one, what does it actually do haha

I agree; it also makes using Chromium for all sorts of automation a lot easier. I found these because I wanted to automate generating PDFs of a report page.

I wonder if there is a reference behind '--ash-no-nudges', I tried looking but found nothing.

I didn't know that's where the feature flags lived. I imagine documenting them is tough because it'll heavily depend on the version since they graduate to become standard features over time.

I also found this extension to be useful and more configurable: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/allow-cors-access-c...

I remember reading or seeing this post about how SQLite can really scale and supports a really high amount of transactions per second. I don't know if it supports distrubuted loads that well, which might be the reason why it's use didn't pick up server side.

Microsoft is in so many government offices around the world it's not even funny.

Not at all! I just really liked their project and thought more people should know about it. They made a pretty complex thing really easy to setup and very reliable.

This one wasn't that cheap tbh. Without the legos and with all the bad sensors I got, it cost around 130ish.

I was surprised at how difficult Google Home integration it was yes.

I see what you're saying. I honestly used Spring Boot just cause I'm really comfortable with it and can get something going quickly. It later on worked well for the Google Home stuff since they have examples and docs in Java/Kotlin. It also doesn't look like they have Python support.

Not hooked cause the valve it's supposed to turn to control the fluid in the pipes is stuck.

The last part about the thermostat daemon is pretty cool. I set the system to always switch off when it turns on.

How fancy do you plan to go with the control logic?

Yes, I thought about it and touched on it in the article. I just didn't want to mess with the control unit given how old the building is, I'm renting, and I have no prior experience in wiring electrical stuff. Also by doing like that, I run the risk of ruining something in the control unit and living without temp control until my landlord feels like fixing it.

It's not hooked up. The valve it's supposed to control in the pipes is stuck.
