Won't make me very popular with my #neighbours - but when needs must. I'll try and figure out something better for the future!Screw it, I will give it a shot. I am currently processing the #relatedwork #section of the #journal #paper and there just isn't enough left in the tank to #parse it. Fingers crossed the freaking alarm works.
I want to grab a #nap - but I know my #phone #alarm does not work correctly and cannot be relied upon. For some reason my #android #smartphone believes it should not go off between the hours of #midnight and 6am or so. I think it's the same mechanism that also pauses #youtube #notifications , etc, but it's super annoying that it #ignores an alarm *I* set. I'm not setting it for no reason. Anyway, for this reason I cannot grab a little #sleep ... Instead I drink even more #coffee ... Pushing for 9am!
I saw some #lenovo #smart #alarm #clock in the #shop the other day and I was pretty #impressed - for just $70 or so you got this very powerful smart #device ... Only problem is, they are always #spying on you: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/09/alexa-l.. For this reason, I can definitely see the want for a #linux #opensource #decentralized version of this kind of smart #home device.
