@ernie, hate to cold @ you, but, are you following this #sengLED smart light bulb fiasco? No one seems to be writing about it. Not the tech publications that promote sengled... no one. It's been days and people can't get their lightbulbs to work, esp if they were dimmed at night when they stopped working.

After a bunch of complaints to their main seller, #Amazon, Amazon finally released a statement to people that have them linked to one of their appliances. I suspect Amazon just wants to stop fielding calls about them, although they are still selling products that can't work now or be setup. #GoogleHome #iot #Alexa #homeAutomation #google #home

@Mumonkan I know the trade war has left them unable to pay 1000 Chinese employees there and there is a big protest about it.

" Employees at Sengled Optoelectronics say the company has failed to pay their wages for three consecutive months, which prompted protesters to march to the local town hall to demand a resolution on April 29.

A Sengled employee confirmed the protest in a telephone interview with The Epoch Times on April 30. “Over a thousand of us went to the town hall to protest,” the worker said. “Employees’ wages haven’t been paid for half a year.”

“Over a dozen people were arrested,” he said. "The company owes wages to over 1,000 full-time workers. We are all entitled to full benefits—pensions, retirement funds, unemployment insurance. The amount they owe is huge, but they haven’t given us any explanation."

The worker said that the factory owner owes the government a great deal of money and the “factory should’ve shut down long ago.”

Supposedly there are youtube videos about it, too.

Good morning tooters. What a difference a day makes. No gorgeous sunrise this morning. I guess the sun must be up but it’s so foggy you’d never know it. It’s even slightly misty in my own garden 😃 & I can’t even see a glimpse of the eucalyptus tree at the end of my street. It was -2c when I got up & it’s now +2c but feels colder. It’s supposed to get to 13c - we will see.
No plans to go out at all today, a quiet’ish day at home just puttering around. I should feed my sourdough starter & prep for making bread making sometime in the next couple of days.
I do plan an exercise class this morning as well, probably balance would be a nice way to end the week. I’ve managed to get some exercise in most days this week which is great as other aspects of life often get in the way, especially lately.
Have a fabulous #Friday everyone, end of the working week for some. Stay warm & dry, enjoy your day. #Weather #Winter #Fog #Exercise #Home
