Hot take, genuinely hoping that you’re not one of those “common sense” people.

The problem is that it only gets fixed when people talk about it en masse. Saying it’s fixed when it keeps making the same mistakes is misleading.

Those group channels do NOT have encryption, telegram misleading users is an absolute stain. All this is stored in plain text on Telegram’s servers.

I actually have a server for my other needs and HA Green. Mostly since I want to run the mission critical stuff for my home on a different machine, this way if something were to go wrong with my home server it’d still keep working.

I should add that bigger esphome projects (with custom components) take up to 5 minutes to compile. But that honestly isn’t too bad.

At what point do you just go for Home Assistant green? It’s still cheaper, yes it has less ram but also consumes less power.

The problem is that most people aren’t making RepRap printers from scratch, they’re buying kits which has everything included.

Bambu makes decent gear, I don’t think we want to have the only option being Chinese machines which always makes compromises to make it cheaper. And that’s coming from a person who uses Chinese printers.

Had this when at uni, mostly due to the amount of requests coming from a single IP

The assistant in your phone is not the same as home assistant.

Home assistant is mostly used to group all your smart home stuff and create automations.

Being a technical person myself, most people I know want to try it but don’t have the use for it due to living in appartments.

For technical people… Yes.

For people who aren’t that technical? No.

Don’t get me wrong, the Home Assistant Green and SkyConnect dongle is great and massively makes maintenance for the regular joe easier (no pis or other hardware that loads from the SD/hardware considerations).

But some stuff in UX would have to improve, which it already is doing ofcourse.

Unless you’re constantly using secret chats all your data is stored in plain text… This is actually worse than WhatsApp

All those things also apply to the quest besides the controllers and cables…

Should be noted that if a password is asked to decrypt the drive it also doesn’t work.

Ah yes, just fuck up streets and waste a fuckton of energy due to wireless charging
