anyone else waiting on their Xiaomi wiha from banggood?

i heard that xiaomi just regionlocked the bootloader unlock

what do

make sure to get the global version

@Kimichiboi me

didn't pay for tracking so who fucking knows when it'll arrive

also bought the Xiaomi wiha magnetic screw pad

expected delivery is 18th nov

but that's the deadline

any of you have yeelight bulbs? are they botnet?

yes

You should assume all chink IoT is botnet.

I have one bulb, scheduled to turn on once a day

It surprisingly only makes two network connections to China a day.

I know a couple of features are disabled if you choose an Euro server for GDPR reasons.

But nothing big afaik

and how does it even work? i see it creates a hotspot, do i have to connect to that every time i want to change the settings?

Only the first time to pair with your app and account.

Any device with the yeelight app and your account will be able to change the settings

Even if not at home.

i see, thanks

i might get one, would be cool to have a light turn on with my alarm

That's what mine is for

a much much cheaper Philips wake up light

with more customization

If you're afraid of the botnet, well you gotta take the same measures you would for all IoT

blocking the chink ips on my network?

i just avoid iot shit as much as possible

seems like the easiest way

wtf

Yeah that's all I'd use it for if I got one, seems like a sick wakeup light

Like a bulb that goes yellow as the sun sets and turns white as the sun rises to help me wake up

i just have a lamp on a timer that blasts me in the face every morning

🤔

thats smart

cause light > sound

strap airhorn to it

then you have best of the both worlds

(and your neighbors too)

im on phone and willing to spend money

are there some good christmas cards
