I hope this time around he won’t be able to hide behind “he doesn’t mean it, he’d never actually do that”

ZigBee and Z-Wave are awesome because they stay functional irrespective of:

• WiFi
• Router
• Internet
• Cloud

So long as the Home Assistant is alive, everything works. The reliability and uptime approaches the AC mains.

And they allow for battery powered devices to have multi-year battery life.

Exactly. Which allows you to use devices from any vendor without having to worry about the preloaded botnet agent. 🤭

Using ZHA for a year and a bit. No breakage so far. Knocks on wood.

Oh really, like what? I have a few E26 models and two strips. I haven’t tried any others.

Follow up question for PP, what’s a biological male?

I don’t understand, why is this interesting? I thought most assumed this was the case. I can’t help but think that killing innocent people is the more significant crime committed by Hamas and Israel.

I’d believe it. Doesn’t excuse the 30000+ deaths.

Later, nonprofit advocacy group Amnesty International reported that it had found Israeli spyware maker NSO Group’s invasive spyware Pegasus on the iPhones of prominent journalists in India.

Of course it’s fucking Pegasus.

If you haven’t seen the Frontline doc on it you should.

That’s because you haven’t met them yet. Once you do, your friends will do all these things while sitting next to you. :D

Will the license change?

No. Immich will continue to be licensed under AGPL without a CLA.

I think the Framework laptop is absolutely good for the industry. Many of your points attempt to diminish or omit the pros and emphasize the cons of things.

E.g. ports. You don’t notice that the Framework ports also work with everything else that a dongle does. You also don’t notice that having modular ports provides extraordinary durability. Ports are often a thing that gets destroyed on laptops. Repairing often means a main board replacement. With a Framework, it’s $20 port card and 10 seconds of work.

You compare their parts situation to Apple’s by omitting the important fact that Framework’s parts, especially the wear and tear ones like coolers, keyboards and batteries are dirt cheap and easily available for purchase. I don’t know about you but I’ve replaced many ThinkPad batteries over the years and finding genuine ones is often a pain and they’re invariably very expensive. 2-3x more expensive than what a Framework battery is.

Personally, I’ve already seen the benefits of the Framework model. I have a Framework 13 which I nastily dropped and bent as a result. One bottom cover order and replacement later it’s as good as new.

I think the Framework model is absolutely positive for the industry, so long as it keeps working. If they go out of business in a year, or get sold to some profit maximizing group that disrupts the model, then yeah, at that point it may become a negative. In my opinion this is the risk for this company and this product model.
