  • Only when it stops getting views. These and similar types of videos can garner views, which can then in turn garner money. If it’s a low-effort/high-reward scenario, why not try it?

    I don’t like them anymore than you do cause they’re so predictable but it makes people laugh and thus want more. That 10 second dopamine rush is addictive.










  • Highly disagree that Z-Wave is dead. There are many companies, especially Zooz, coming out with new products all the time. Yes, ZigBee is far cheaper but I’ve had the worst reliability issues with ZigBee and moved everything to Z-Wave. Zero issues with connectivity or batteries dying too fast.

    But that’s the beauty and strength of HA. Openess and selection.







  • My biggest question to FUTO/Immich is if they’re worried about a revenue stream, why not do something similar to Home Assistant? You never have to pay HASS a dime and never see anything to “shame” you. All you get is essentially a forwarding subdomain with some “easier” ways of doing cloud related things. There’s zero “shaming” or calls to pay. I pay HASS/Nabu Casa monthly cause I’m lazy and it makes my life easier. FUTO should consider doing something similar.



  • A pure analog recording can be superior to digital recordings. But those are so rare these days, we don’t have a good comparison.

    There’s things like “bass bleed” and cross talk that made analog so interesting to listen to.

    As long as the original recording is 48kHz or higher, digital recordings are awesome. We might not be able to hear beyond the 20Hz - 20kHz, you can most certainly feel it. Especially in the lower end.
