I mean - the ones you can buy from Amazon are the same you buy from Aliexpress, just more expensive. Of course, one could fear that some of them have failed QA or whatever - but I would not have much reason to suspect malicious firmware - and if you do, you can flash your own. You do that anyway if you want to use the dongle as a Zigbee router (instead of coordinator).

What is a sketchy option?

I just bought a Sonoff Zigbee Dongle Plus E and use ZHA and it works like a charm. No third party cloud based coordinator. I guess you still have to trust the firmware of the dongle, but that is about it.

There are still a lot of other billionaire I would shit on before Gates and I really respect his pledge to give away his wealth and his work with charity, but yeah well, I guess he has pretty awful sides still.

Good point. It could stop working if api calls change.

How do you define dead if not by “no future updates”?

Tbf, I dont this Argo Tunnel has anything to do with zero trust. The product has just been nested under that umbrella.

My guess: to give the “the longer you look the funnier it gets” effect. Otherwise your eyes would go straight to it.

It is the Tasmania devil push, isn’t it?

Why? What fact checking did you do?

Yeah… IMO it is important to fact check especially when someone tries to push views that seem extreme and missing the nuance I would expect from reality. But fact checking with AI might be too lazy.

Who to believe - a random image online or a neural net with the ability to search a few pages online?

Hodor.

Unless you mix with the door and all molecules in your body mess up and you die.

I feel a little disappointed that yara is not a yara.
