I'm still using re-vanced, as last time I used Grayjay there were still some missing features as compared to revanced, a complete lack of a webapp, and lack of multiple video services I use. Between all of those things, I just didn't find it worth sticking with it.

However, I did pay the 10 bucks and do come back to visit it occasionally.

Automatic physical camera shutters? Only ones I can think of on phones are pop-up selfie cameras like the LG Wing and OnePlus 7. LG doesn't make phones any more and OnePlus dropped the pop-up camera in their next phone, and haven't brought it back.

Enshittification is used plenty often enough, we don't need to be using it incorrectly imo.

If I had a dollar for every time Comcast told me to check if I qualify for this rebate, even after I tell them that I do not qualify, my internet cost would make sense.

Proton can make games from the windows store that I already own work on Linux? Proton can make games that are borked rated on protondb work?

I love Linux as much as the next tech nerd, I have a SteamDeck that I essentially use as a laptop when away from home, and I tried dailying Manjaro on my main machine for a couple months. Proton doesn't solve everything.

I can totally understand running windows on your main gaming machine, as that's what I do. I don't like it, but all of my games work. I also don't want to have to re-buy games on Steam that I own via the Windows store.

They're largely disregarding the fact that the laptop is easily repairable... They're kinda missing the whole point of the device/company.

Sweet, for sure, I have no issue with that.

The people complaining about ads who don't support creators in other ways is what bothers me.

Laughs in.... Supporting creators by supporting them in other ways than watching ads on their videos, right? Right???

According to the example, it just shoves your video to the side and shows a static ad, not a video. If it played a video with audio that would be fucked. If it's just silent stuff, honestly not even that intrusive or crazy imo. Smart TV boxes have been doing similar shit for a while, right?

Also, at least with YouTube you can pay to avoid it, if you'd like.

If so it won't be a buy for me, wifi7 is a must.

Yeah, that's all Alexa and Google have on home assistant. Not to mention that sometimes you have to write yaml to create automations.

Installing an automation and checking battery level manually, or even having an automation tell me to replace the batteries in devices means I'm thinking about it... Not to mention that I still have to replace the batteries which, shockingly, involved thinking about replacing the batteries.

Still something I'd have to think about in 5 years. Also, if I use rechargeables, which I would, it'll potentially be less.

I don't want to have to think about it. Ever.

Also, if you have a bunch of switches in your house, even at 5 years you could be replacing batteries in one switch or another every few months.

At 10 battery operated smart things in the house, thats - on average - swapping batteries every 6 months. As you add more smart things, that frequency goes up. I don't want to be doing that, ever.

I'll have to do some research... Wild that I wasn't able to find them previously.

I can't replace the wall switches, as I'm renting a manufactured home, which has some really wackily wired light switches, likely to save money. If I owned a home I'd definitely install some smart switches and utilize those.

Holy crap, I'll be purchasing that ASAP, guess I just wasn't able to find them, thank you!

And yes, I was aware that simply wiring the device directly into the wall wouldn't work.

No. The lack of variety in options is honestly astonishing. I'm looking for a cheap zigbee button that is wall powered. They don't really seem to exist. Who the fuck wants to be constantly replacing batteries in smart things? Probably the same people who don't want wires running everywhere, but their priorities are in the wrong place imo.

I'm also kinda shocked that a product doesn't exist that's just a AA or AAA fake battery with wires hanging off of it that you could plug into the wall. Probably a safety hazard or something.

A camera isn't your eyes, you could point it at the sun all day.

I'll have to check out Aeromatic

I wouldn't...
