> energy efficient lights seem to have no downsides

Efficiency is good, but this isn't true. Decades into LED-ification we still suffer shit-tier PWM strobing, poor dimming, disruption to wildlife and human life, and streetlights turning purple en masse.

(The last two are installation and quality issues, but when driven by lowest-bidder compliance with simplistic "efficiency" mandates that's what you get).

You're not going crazy :)

Hover over the "minutes ago" string on any of those comments & you'll see the original timestamp. I guess this is a repost, comments got merged, and the "minutes ago" strings are cached/pre-generated from the old thread?

> lawyer ads

I take it you haven't had the pleasure of driving thru Philadelphia. Some say you can even see skyscrapers behind the sea of lawyer ads.

Experienced this too. Having SSH access enabled on the Synology saved the day. There's no 2FA prompt on SSH, so you can SSH in and manually fix the time.
