Ya but someone told me something that gave me pause.

Microsoft, Google, etc, all have other very successful revenue streams. They can afford to lose on this for years and years until it hits. Or until they become the only game in town because they’re the only ones that could afford it for so long.

And what then? Maybe processing power becomes much cheaper. Maybe big contracts have been gained by other businesses to manage segments of their businesses. Maybe it’s improved that much more?

I do ponder this from time to time.

I sync to TrueNAS scale with photosync and then I sync scale with back blaze b2

Sun thing for me was absolutely terrible. If I recall correctly, huge pain in the ass because I vlan off my wifi and had to mess with policies for discovery. I found the app would often freeze and lock up, glitch, etc. And this was on two different phones.

That said, once any term is used in a negative connotation long enough it becomes offensive and a new word is chosen. Until that becomes offensive.

It’s an endless cycle.

Who is renornalizing it?

Because they’re offended 😂

Maybe they’re at work.

I never forgot when I watched water world

Definitely. I use home assistant but I found a lot of things require enabling integrations with other platforms. They’re bricks if that platform decides they are.

This is why IoT isn’t sustainable. If you don’t have total control you’re fucked.

I guess this really depends on the country you’re sourcing from.

Part of the reason I own and maintain such an old vehicle.
