That’s ok. So do I.

Performing sufficiently for cheap production cost, they’d be a low RISC high reward investment.
I have a supposedly smart washing machine that came with the apartment. Setting it up in my locked down appliances network, it didn’t work with home-assistant, required cloud access and wanted me to open up ports in the firewall. Nope. No network connection for you. You are a regular dumb old washing machine.
I don’t know. Maybe, if your WiFi and internet is up and you’re invested in their products only. With Zigbee there is no vendor lock in.
The end of easily flashable Tuya devices was what prompted me to migrate to Zigbee too. The few devices that require cloud connection are blacklisted from any other network access.
But it is also a benefit that Zigbee can operate independently from the controller. If HA goes down for whatever reason and automation with it, at least light switches and whatnot are still working as usual.
Indeed I could, but this is the boring job you have the paid employees for rather than putting it on users to ensure a stable version of your product. .
Yeah, it’s totally a fun feature driven project reliant on community efforts despite there is a commercial venture behind it nowadays. The core devs still treat it as their baby hobby project and nobody wants to do the boring job of maintaining a stable branch so it’s not going to happen.
Some while ago I saw another discussion on this topic that was shot down with the opposing arguments that all users have to do is stay up date with the latest version, while also saying that users are at fault for things breaking because they update when a notification tells them that there is a new latest version.
I think it’s arrogant and irresponsible and a ticking time bomb for a big time bug or zero day exploit and not how any serious project should be administered.
I wish I could have Linus Torvalds give his colorful opinion on this mindset on developing the operating system for peoples homes.
Every time I read of issues like this, I so much wish ha devs could be bothered to complement the rolling release as it is today with a quarterly “stable” branch that gets all the bug fixes and patches but none of the monthly new features.
The stable branch could lag 3 months in features, it doesn’t matter with latest features when all you want is a recently patched and updated system that runs your house without going bzzpth.
I’m skeptical anything good will come out of it, but I’m glad if I’m wrong. Meta is about making money. The fediverse is a direct competitor to everything and anything they do. I don’t think Meta is interested in integrating with the fediverse. I think they want to dominate the fediverse. But that’s just me.
Among the four disputed patents is one concerning improvements that reduces the number of steps – and thereby overall delay – when transmitting an uplink package; a Wireless Wake-On-LAN Power Management technique; an invention that allows a user to initiate a diagonal scroll at any location by using two fingers; and a hinge block that enables a laptop to convert to a tablet.
Welp, I guess Lenovo goes on my black list too then.
Try to control some other devices, like your television, to determine if your transmitter is working.
You know when you have an issue with your Linux so you air it on a public forum and are overrun with useless comments that you should switch to Arch because it’s so much better and you’re stupid if you don’t?
Yeah.
Because no need to fix when it works good enough.
No worries. Now go play it.
The original Giana Sisters for Commodore 64 is from 1987, so it’s pretty old.
I’ve been paying the €5 ad free subscription without other premium features for years until they announced that it will be discontinued from next month.
So then I am going to take a new look into ad blockers.
Good job, YouTube.

The big question is, how un/reliable are these drives.
I got me a Zigbee usb stick for home-assistant and have three different makers of window sensors (Sonoff, Ikea, and Tuya OEM from AliExpress) because of no particular reason. Everything is local, no cloud services. The integration of all has been smooth sailing.
