Habe mir gerade eine Schlagzeile bei dr.dk vom Browser aus dem Dänischen übersetzen lassen. Wir können bald Drogentiere bei IKEA kaufen. 🥳🤔

I built this clothes rail that can be clipped outside on #Ikea #Pax sliding doors, so I have a place to hang fresh clothes while I‘m sorting what‘s inside the wardrobe. As it turns out it fails after being fully loaded for a few weeks (as in „after being used as an extension of the wardrobe with a massive load“).
This is a good thing™️ because it failed before the sliding door hardware failed.
Something always will give in the end, it‘s good if that‘s a part that can be fixed easily.

Hat schonmal jemand die _gesamte_ Traglast von #Ikea #Ivar getestet? Offizielle Daten liegen offenbar nur "pro Boden" vor: https://www.ikea.com/at/de/files/pdf/f6/28/f6282cae/ivar.pdf 🤷 #unverpackt #IkeaHacking
5 kg pro Boden kommen locker zusammen (unproblematisch!), und theoretisch würde 1 Boden alles 10cm reinpassen.
## 29.12.: Sessel wurde verschenkt, bitte nicht mehr boosten. Danke an alle Booster und MItdiskutanten ##
Zu verschenken: gebrauchter Poäng-Sessel in Buche hell mit weißem Bezug, frisch gewaschen.
Nur Abholung in Köln-Ehrenfeld.
Fürs Protokoll: hatte ich Ende Oktober schonmal angeboten, nur leider hatte sich keine Abnehmer*in gefunden.

Here's an interesting bit* of Canadian history and woodworking trivia, brought to you by me being enraged at a screw stripping while I was trying to remove it.
Most people are familiar with two types of screws & drivers: the old fashioned slot screw and the cross-shaped Phillips screw.
What if I told you there was a better way?
In 1908, a Canadian inventor named Peter Lymburger Robertson invented a screw with a square hole for the driver. If you've done any woodworking, you're probably familiar with it. This screw/driver design was very popular, as it is self-centering and the driver rarely slips out of the screw.
So why didn't the Robertson screw catch on in the USA? I blame Henry Ford. He initially was the Robertson screws biggest fan, as it was found to remarkably increase production speed. So Ford tried to get Robertson Inc. to give him an exclusive contract. Robertson wasn't interested. In the 1930s, an American inventor, Henry Phillips, created a screw/driver with a cross-shaped slot. Mr. Ford liked this screw because it worked well with powered screwdrivers. I think he also had sour grapes over Robertson rejecting him. At any rate, Ford's adoption of the Phillips screw/driver made it very popular throughout the USA.
If you've ever tried to build Ikea furniture, you probably know the frustration of cheaply-made Phillips screws. If your screwdriver is not the precise size for the screw, it will slip out of that cross repeatedly or just turn helplessly, unable to engage with the screw. In either case, there's a chance of stripping the screwhead. This can also happen when overtightening.
My husband insists on replacing stock Ikea (and other manufacturer's) screws with Robertsons, especially on anything that requires good structural strength or is made from a harder material. Worst case is that the screwdriver bit gets stuck in the screw, but this is easily remedied. With a Phillips screw, if it strips, you're hooped. You have a loose screw or an embedded screw that's never coming out.
tl;dr: I recommend replacing Phillips screws/drivers with Robertson ones, especially if you find your Phillips screws stripping regularly.
This has been a Canadian Heritage Moment.

Unfortunately the two that I'm interested in for new functionality - the BILRESA scroll wheel and the ALPSTUGA CO2 sensor - were not in my local Berlin IKEA. Honestly I was amazed that they had *any* of the new Matter devices, as they only just got the 2nd gen Zigbee devices in a few months ago (typisch Berlin).
Will report back as and when.
They're much better looking devices than the Zigbee devices they're replacing - they no longer look "nerdy" for lack of a better description. They're all round corners and more thoughtful design. They all use AAA rechargeable batteries, which immediately makes them better than anything cursed with coin cells.
The weight of the 2-3 batteries only increases the feeling of quality, as do the much more subtle magnet attachments.
Got to play with the new IKEA Matter devices. All very easy to get set up in Home Assistant. The only glitch is the BILRESA dual button. The three modes per button are exposed as events, but HA doesn't yet support triggers via entities. But that's coming at some point soon as the old system gets replaced.

@mothninja by the time you get to the end of the warehouse, if there have been no crying children you must find one and make it cry.
Them's the rules.

All the hoopla around the opening of Ikea ...

... reminds me of the 2004 Czech documentary Český sen (Czech Dream);

But the documentary was much more fun.
