I don't use Haier products but a similar thing happened with Chamberlain when they blocked the MyQ integration even though it was using the legitimate API and not breaking any rules. No attempt to work with anyone in the HA community at all, just shut everything down.

On one hand, this means projects like Home Assistant are getting popular enough to have enough usage to effect these companies. So that's great! In the long term, we'll all figure out solutions, but in the short term it feels like an increasing fight between corporate and open-source control over smart devices.

How could this possibly be ruled as Constitutional? Let alone any remaining shadow of 'party of small government' irony, that shipped sailed into the West a long, long time ago.

“The takeaway I got is that she wants to turn our schools into pedophile molestation factories,” DePape testified

Honest question: what does "pedophile molestation factory" even mean?!

Oh wow, that last part about wars in the middle east being a conspiracy is totally new to me. I suppose it's no less unbelievable than the planet being a flat disc or moon landing hoaxes.

Hamas is not all Palestinians.

Such a weird thing to volunteer, especially for someone that is supposedly a 'master negotiator'. The hook was set and line was being pulled back. The sell was done!

It might not be the #1 rule of sales, but pretty close to the top is "once you've closed the deal, stop talking".

“I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert told TMZ

Doesn't this entirely invalidate the claims of people like Boebert that woke-ism ruins people's personalities and thought processes? Shouldn't she be able to see that this guy was a degenerate trans groomer or whatever without needing to know his "political affiliation"?

If not, perhaps the negative side effects of people-with-different-opinions is not actually a fatal condition, after all.

Kansas state patrol needs to step in and take over this situation, hopefully ending with the prosecution of the police chief for abuse of power and manslaughter. If they don't act soon, the FBI needs to investigate both organizations.

It's always so eye-opening to read about a larger-than-life personality like Brady considering themselves an introvert and being bullied in school. I am glad he got to a point where he is happy and can share his story.

Any official acknowledgment of the rising threat from ring-wing domestic terrorism is good. The first step to solving a problem is identification!

Spot on. I would have no idea Framework existed without LTT, and I likely would not have clicked into the article or comments on this thread, either.

It's hilarious to me that Elon insisted on having a headshot and being mentioned first in the team description. Everyone knows he isn't doing anything of value, but he has to appear as if he's writing the code himself because his tiny ego can't tolerate "just" being the money guy.
