The fact that there is a possibility that this is real and not Satire tells a lot about american society

Most smart home devices are actually not that smart. They are simply a switch with wifi, which logs in to your local wifi and shouts “HERE I AM, I HAVE TWO MODES, YOU CANSWITCH BETWEEN THOSE” into the ether.

Reasons to have a hub are:

1. Not having to open the website of every single device or send a command from the command line if you want to use it, but rather have one place which registerss all devices and bundles them up to serve you in a nice web interface or app.

2. Have more advanced/intercinnected functions (not only: send “up” to the blinds device but send “up” to the blinds device, if the time device says its later then 8:00 and the daylight sensor device senses dalight.

3. Some hubs have security features, like claiming the device and establishing a password, so not everyone in you WiFi can do everything.

4. Good ones act like a protective layer from you to the outside internet (esps and most smart home devices are simple devices, which are rather unsecure and where you don’t know which code is running (your Chinese security camera might not only send pictures to you but also to China, and you would not knowbif its connected to the internet directly). So you can only allow connections to the hub, and if you have an open source hub like HomeAssistant, you could be rather certain stuff like this will not happen as easily.

5. Do all the heavy lifting with more CPU power (user and password login, updates, scripts, voice recognition if you want stuff like this, keeping date and time recently updated, merge (in the case of HomeAssitant) different protocols (like iqtt, phillipsHUE, ZigBee, etc. Pp.) Into one coherent system.

Some other things also, and that being said: it is literally the device controlling your entire house and privacy, so get one you trust, preferable an open source one where you don’t have to accept agbs to give up all rights to Samsung or so.

YSK: When having “open links in private tabs” enabled in your default Browser, pixelix login will not work but load endlessly.

If you deactivate the option in your default browser it will work the second time you try it:

0. Deactivate “open links in private tabs” in default browser
1. Log in, get redirected to your normal profile (but no prompt to authorise the app)
2. Close pixelix
3. Open and log in again
4. Now you get the prompt to authorize the app

Trying to get teamspeak hotkeys to work in arch wayland - tinker with system for 2 hours - give up and try to revert the changes for 2 hours - give up and load btrfs snapshot - still got bugs you didn’t have before - give up and install Debian.

Also interesting because in German progressive/queer feminist groups use the term

“Weiblich gelesen” (literal: read female, meaning: assumed to be female)

If we want to refer to someone who looks like a women by conservative standards but about whom we don’t know if they actually identify as a women.

“Weib” (degrading term for “women/wife” derived from the word “weiblich” (female)) on the other hand is considered very rude and only used by conservative/sexist people.

Just find it interesting which words are differently connotated in which language.

Okay I understand.

So “books with female protagonists” would be okay (because large group referenced) “Bus with female passengers” would be considered rude, because small group referenced, you would rather say “Bus with women and girls as passengers” ?

Honest question from a non native: what is wrong with the term female?

And what word could you use for the sex girls and women are part of where people wouldn’t imagine you look like a space neolib?

Russels teapod is a good example imho

Real in the sense of this being a real screenshot and not edited

Is this real? If so,does someone have the link to the original?

Lul, instead oft making vanilla mean (real) vanilla and calling fake “vanilla flavoured” or vanilin like a sane person

I dont know anything at all, thats why i am asking. Apple not being fan of Foss on their devices was just the first thing that comes to mind.

EDIT: Just saw you quoted them, nvm, thanks for the relay

Feel safe? You think Apple is targeting them?

EDIT: not the case for all we know, situation seems to be complex and they don’t want speculation
