Growing up without a good male role model, I am eternally grateful to Patrick Stewart's performance of Picard.

His performance (as well as how the character was written) still today illustrate what I view as an ideal male archetype. Fair, honest, in control of his emotions yet passionate. Thank you for the gift your performance has given me Mr Stewart. My life would likely have turned out a lot worse without a solid example of that a good man could be

For those who don't care to be held hostage by the journalist as he forces you through a long winded narrative: gold and silver nano particles are embedded into the glass

Why would I use this over ADB?

That movie was an abomination. The studios should he ashamed of what they made. The studio didn't even wait till Adams was cold in the ground before they drove through his screenplay with a bulldozer

Of all the ancient hacker lore, this is probably my favorite bit. What are some of y'alls favorite tales? Famous, your own stories, I am not picky!

I'd guess that most of the Home Assistant user base is "IT people".

I don't see HA as a consumer established product, as much as Nabu Kasa would like otherwise.

Then again, this is just my guesswork. I have 0 clue the demographics of Home Assistant users

Ok so i am wrong to want interface panels to control things with Home Assistant because I have kids?

Nabu Kasa keeps ignoring the elephant in the room of security and permissions. They have no native ability to set user groups and permissions. There is no serious RBAC. I guess it doesn't sell cloud subscriptions. I cant keep my children from affecting devices they shouldn't. I ended up replacing my automation with mqtt

It absolutely is a waste of time, but was a fun waste of time.

It works now. Updates will never come from directv for this box

Once this hardware dies it's not getting repaired. I really enjoy reusing appliances like this. An old MiFi hotspot is the mqtt server for my house

Ya but that would increase complexity and costs. Currently I can use some Meross branded stuff because it can be provisioned without their cloud nonsense and is mqtt. Other bespoke devices are esphome with mqtt control (no home assistant)
