Huh. And here I thought, Piece Of Shit Ready required at least Windows 10.
I also don't want to have to talk to it, so switching to Home Assistant with Zigbee
That's what started it all for me. I have some Hue lights for TV backlighting and started looking for alternatives when Philipps first threatened making their cloud account mandatory.
Threw out the bridge, works like a charm and I have been buying new devices and return everything I cannot setup locally but it's annoying because they don't always tell about their crappy app and cloud accounts on the product info.
Good luck getting any other parents to give a shit though.
That's the big one, sadly.
Joke's on you - I can't even reach my Zigbee devices in the next room, your car won't have a chance from the street. That'll make it easier to convince it to come back home though.
I wish. Every fucking bank has their own shitty app for 2FA instead of just using standardized and proven TOTP, no way around that.
Same about school apps the article mentioned since it's connecting to their (one of many) proprietary system, no website for that.
And recently got into the home automation rabbit hole. Lots of devices that require their fucking app, sometimes with mandatory cloud account, just to connect! And people in reviews even praise how easy it is, it's infuriating! I don't need light bulbs connecting to the internet, thank you very much.
I have already ramped up on that one on their last ad ramp up.
Came here after the comment got deleted. Did that moron really claim that greentext dude is homophobic? He literally let himself fucked by his gay friend ffs.
got highlighted in a horse industry publication
Wait what?
Edit: duh, he was a jockey. I should let the moment of confusion settle before replying.
He's probably driving around in rural areas though. What's the cost of living at your place? Not Silicon Valley, I hope?
