Don't have particular case to recommend as the one I have has been printed but get one where you can add an SSD. SD card are not well suited for home assistant due to the amount of overwriting.

It is a good voice assistant but it isn't an ai voice assistant, Also only works for your home assistant devices/entities unless you link it to gpt
So pc is consuming 13W, this is with one nvme + one SSD, pic at 30w for a few seconds at boot.
Curious, might have same machine but do consume a bit more, do you have one SSD + one nvme?
Do also have a n100 processor running proxmox with 3 VM. Can't try right now but can come back in a few days to let you know how much power it draws
Exactly, neither fit right for an AI
ZigBee are not designed for high bandwidth applications but +1 for Home assistant
Think it depends the language, in french gpt is very very close to "j'ai pété" which means "I farted". But, yeah agree that Claude ain't much better name
If z2m, zwavejs,... Are installed from the adon store of HA, all you have to do is create a full backup of HA, and all your automations will be saved and restored automatically.
"do we straight up invade.. like we did...." Do you know the mess that actually comes from there? And How much it had enforced extremist behaviour in other countries.
"What US needs to do?" Start by taking care of your own issues like guns, they will inevitably end up in dark market serving cartels and others, it would also stop massive killing happening in your own country at the same time... Priorities to education and healthcare, Stop invading countries (can't remember last US invasion which was actually useful...), start supporting smart guys instead of bad/extremist guys so they don't get more powerful (exemple: Masoud instead of Bin Laden in Afghanistan against Russia).
A complete and affordable setup that will merge anything you want inside a single app will be by using home assistant. But while it is much easier to setup and maintain than a few years ago, selling the house will require new owner to have a few tech knowledge. You also have to make sure that your setup is designed to be used by all family whatever there age and knowledge (and it isn't always simple)
Describing everything available that would make it a perfect place will take a very very long comment but here are some hint, look at ethernet cameras instead of wifi, ZigBee and zwave instead of wifi for most of the devices as those protocols are designed for smart homes unlike wifi, use as less as possible cloud base solution.
As a starter, you can check for temperatures/humidity sensors, contact sensors for doors/windows, automated curtains, switches, presence detection, lights, leak detectors, weather station, energy monitoring,...
