Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.

As recently as last month, Tesla said in a securities filing that it needed to expand charging to “ensure adequate availability” for customers, particularly after automakers including Ford, General Motors, Toyota, and Hyundai announced they would start making their cars compatible with Tesla’s charging plugs, giving their vehicles Supercharger access.
:lol: This is the entire reason Elon is axing the charging division, isn't it? Other people might get to use it, so he's going to take it away from everyone.

Another one? The man is obsessed with AI companies, hopefully this time he’ll succeed in creating an AI that says the n-word to stop a bomb. Not entirely sure why you’d set up a company to compete with your own other companies but that’s why nobody is voting to give me $55 billion I guess

He gutted the entire charging division because the head of the program refused to layoff more than 20% of the program because it wasn't gonna work so he fired her and everyone else

Gonna have to throw in with 3O here. I was homebrewing this poo poo with Perl and X10 hardware back in the early 2000s. This is old tech at this point; it just isn't neckbeard-only territory anymore.

It isn't even rich people poo poo now. It's all quite affordable if you look into it.

If you see someone driving a Cybertruck you have a social obligation to make a rude gesture and mouth something vulgar to them. Not because Cybertrucks are that bad (Although they are), it will just be funny watching them develop the weirdest persecution complex in history.

I mean sure, it's fun when it works, and I built plenty of my own Arduino fixtures and gadgets myself back in the day. Same as I used to build PCs from components off the shelf at Fry's, and same as I used to congratulate myself for getting desktop FreeBSD to work. But (and maybe this is just a me thing) at a certain point things become mass-market and polished enough that I don't care about the thrill of the hunt anymore and I don't care if the hood is welded shut, I just want the lights to turn on.

And it sucks when the mass-market stuff is garbage.

Honestly X10 worked pretty well, I had X10 dimmers on all my light switches in my first apartment, it was reliable and worked great for dimming the entire house at one. I left all of them when I moved, 20 years ago and have honestly kind of wondered if they ever bothered replacing them of if someone wonders why the light switches are so weird.

This was poo poo that RadioShack sold in the 90s, just like today there are lovely setups but if you just wanted to dim a bunch of lights in an open concept home, it worked fine if you spent the money.

It's the same as it always has been, people buy a bunch of lovely cheap WiFi lightbulbs from some random Chinese white box company, link it to their $20 Echo and wonder why it works like poo poo and everyone is mad at them because they can't use the light switches any longer. There is a reason why a Lutron Caseta light switch costs $60 and a Hue lightbulb starts are like $15, they just loving work. Unless you interacted with one of the touchscreens in our house for some reason, you would have no idea that every light and fan in our house can be controlled by voice, app, or touch screen, everything works exactly as you would expect it to and nothing breaks if you touch the wrong switch.

Not to go wildly off topic but I tried that Nabu Casa app that someone mentioned itt earlier and it required me to log in to a server. Do all these home device networks require a server? Does everyone have a box whirring away in a closet? My bulbs all just replace regular bulbs and you control them over WiFi with no server. Am I completely missing something here?

If you want more info, feel free to check out the Home Automation thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3635963

But yeah, you're completely missing something there, which is that Home Assistant is an operating system running on something that acts as a hub that connects to various devices from various vendors and allows them to interact in a way that they can't on their own because they're in walled gardens. The app and subscription to Naba Casa is just an easy way to remotely connect to your Home Assistant server when you're not on the same network (among other things).

https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/

Think of Samsung's SmartThings, but more community support and wider vendor compatibility, and prioritizes devices running completely locally first.
