Home assistant can talk to homekit devices without involving Apple, so you can assume it'll be around for a while.

In the last 16 years there's been multiple SSL vulnerabilities, so if someone was motivated enough, they could probably hack it, especially considering they'd have physical access. You could probably even dump out the filesystem and overwrite certificates with your own.

For a thermostat that's built into a house, 16 years doesn't seem long enough, tbh. A 'dumb' thermostat can easily be in use for 30+ years before anyone would even consider replacing it.

But yeah, as you said, if it's connected to the internet you have to worry about software patches, certificates, etc.

It feels like blending hoses would be a more complicated setup?

So is the implication that he's just going to source all those things from a Chinese company? Basically the next Tesla and chargers will just be rebadged BYDs or whatever?

That's definitely something I want to see when I pause YouTube to take a phone call or whatever.

Yep, now they own ansible and terraform. No way they'll let both exist long term and they'll likely kill both.

I went the other route and got a more expensive, lighter bike. Pretty sure they would've stolen even the shittiest of bikes, my first one was.

Yeah, I was definitely fitter as well. It did suck that it wasn't safe to keep your bike downstairs, so I had to drag that thing up and down every day.

I bought a dedicated mini PC for it, and if you just manage it using proxmox it's pretty straightforward (if you already know how to do Linux things and paste the right commands from the tutorial in there).

There's still stuff I need to fix to make it the only smart home controller, right now I have a ton of different stuff (switchbot, meross, Google home and HA).

I guess Google didn't want to risk finding out.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be enough for most western countries.
