I feel sad cause I just now heard of this haha

These updates keep breaking my seemingly very brittle series of automations and glue holding my house together.

As much as I love ha it still it pretty high maintenance

So rust should solve all their problems right?

Yeah but the dialog sure is a bit bookish and dry, talking a lot about weird theory.

They stopped repairing these. I have one actually got it repaired before they shut everything down.

That might’ve been true a year ago but today apples maps is a viable replacement for google maps as well as their Siri offerings.

Cost of doing business in this hell hole of a platform

"What can you do about it? Before you say "Home Assistant", let me stop you right there."

No let me stop you right there. All the good Hue stuff works with Zigbee so you can (and should) totally just run your own hub and bypass all of this; yes with home assistant!

That's really the best solution. You can just control the lights directly how you see fit without even talking to Phillips.

That’s the spirit; because we can!!

All except their new wifi connected ones... called Wiz.. watch out for those, much more affordable but really crappy app/setup situation.

Happily running Linux now that my job no longer requires windows development ;)

Every time I log into windows and that “Lets finish setting up your computer” wizard starts, I feel abused, betrayed, and forced into whatever bullshit Microsoft wants to shove down my throat.

It sucks.

Find a private broker to locate and acquire a car for you

I find the best furniture at antique shops, garage/estate sales, and charity stores.

iOS only, strict controls on screen time

Think of it like an ac unit, they are expensive but indispensable. I have always envisioned locally trained ai and now it is happening!

I remember trying to use go, it certainly wasn't that easy, the go folder was a really confounding concept. I think they got rid of that though (been a while).

Run from this job it will end poorly for you

That’s funny I did not notice it when I read the article. Had to go back to check again; I think my mind just blurred it all out and let me focus on the tiny scrollable section where the story is.

Best debloat technique is to just switch to Linux

Yeah, no.

Do all these dev boxes automatically setup shit like Candy Crush Saga like retail windows does?

I held on to Windows for years, finally had enough after I was forced to make a live account one day (the wizard just appeared providing no alternative one day).

So glad I dropped windows finally, kfe plasma is a breath of fresh air

Windows is nearly unusable after edge and defender have their way with it

Try as you might no setting you set in windows seems to stick anymore, that or they actively try to get you to reset it. I have seemingly un-installed so many stub apps, disabled onedrive countless times, mucked with group policy etc. etc. etc.

You can't modify the system enough, it's not designed to be modified, its too complicated to be tested in any state but their defaults.

I've finally fully embraced Linux. Microsoft made it happen.

This Edge bullshit pushed me off the edge; I'm all Linux now.

They need a human to scale in the photos or something

Find your business person partner

Sure it does, all the standard calls are universal, hell I wrote a _universal_ directory monitoring shell script. Try and do that with bash on windows/linux/osx.
