Not as far as I know. One can look up a certain motherboard or laptop to check if it's compatible with Linux before buying it.

The author had hardware with known compatibility issues. They've decided to make some rather strange choices, including the use of NTFS as a file system for their data. I don't want to gaslight them or say their experiences aren&#

This device has planned obsolescence written all over it. The pen includes a built-in rechargeable battery. The device's battery is also not user replaceable. These are the same issues that the Remarkable Paper Pro has. They use the Li

It is unfortunate if you want to deduplicate and encrypt in the target backup.

Do you plan to fix https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/18549 ?

There's no such desktop PC which offers 128 GB of VRAM. The Framework Desktop doesn't do that for the time being. It's not yet available. There will be more options by the time this becomes available.

It is indeed better than the Mac. It's still 1000 times worse than a regular desktop PC which lets people swap RAM modules, the CPU, add a dGPU and so on.

I'm aware of all the limitations they've brought up and how it was sold to the public. It's not as if someone forced them to build this product. They've chosen to build it this way. This product goes against their princi

There's absolutely nothing repairable about this computer. The motherboard is the entire computer. Only the storage can be replaced. Do you plan to make computers which can actually be repaired? How exactly is the Framework Desktop any

This is a cool product for people who want a lot of RAM for LLMs. Those like me who build their own systems would get better value out of a machine they've built. The only parts which can be customized for this product are the presence

This is all fluff. It doesn't provide any proof such as links to these changes.

Thanks. I understand where you're coming from now. Your requirement to use Python code for automation could be satisfied by an external component which uses the Home Assistant API or through some internal custom Python based component

It's a major pain to write YAML for Home Assistant. Some parts of Home Assistant lack complete examples which are up to date. The documentation doesn't include examples for every single thing. Part of writing some automations was

Tuya's entire business model is about getting their customers' data and getting them to pay for their services through vendor lock-in. They're not going to give up on all that juicy data collection and on the money they curre

Those are just the direct dependencies as far as I can tell. The frontend has its own dependencies.

Home Assistant and the Home Assistant Operating System have a log of bugs, regressions, shortcomings and usability problems. They have far too many problems for me to even track them or write all of them down. That's not related to you

As I've written in the other comment, the Home Assistant Operating System is useless without an Internet connection. It has to pull the Docker images since it doesn't have any version of the images at all. Yes, there are resources

A fresh Home Assistant Operating System installation is useless without an Internet connection. It needs to download several gigabytes of Docker images for it to be usable. It's very likely they'll take the infrastructure down if

How do you like the Discord based forums? Having knowledge buried in a proprietary closed source platform hosted by a third party is another problem. They can wipe out countless posts and exchanges through a simple terms of service update t

This isn't some regular contributor. They appear to be one of the most important Home Assistant maintainers and a Nabu casa employee. This contributor is also the author of many release note blog posts such as this one https:/&#x

I've been using Home Assistant for about three years. I was very glad it exists. I wanted to make the most out of it. It has numerous problems and regressions are very frequent. The disappointment lies in it not being as it's desc

Some of these instructions have fiber glass or similar for insulation which appears to be used for this. It's not something anyone would want next to their ventilation system or inside it. This isn't something to even consider wit

Their tech may be more than adequate today. Bigger businesses may not buy from a small startup company. They expect a lot more. Illumos is a less popular OS. It wouldn't be the first choice for the OS I'd rely on. Who writes the s

They've built this a while ago. A hardware refresh takes time. The good news is that they may be able to upgrade the existing equipment with newer sleds.

Yes, you can. Can you boot them from external drives when their internal SSD is dead? This isn't about booting them when their OS is wiped out. Having a dead SSD seems to kill these computers. That's expected for something with so

I've watched that guy's video. The Apple arm64 Macbook Pro doesn't even charge without a functional SSD. I suspect it also doesn't boot off anything else if its main SSD is dead.

by farawayea 2y ago
That's not a solution when your main SSD dies. The system no longer boots. The guy from the youtube video explains that as well. Normal computers with NVMe storage will always be more repairable than Apple's hardware with everythi

Does this still have soldered flash chips for the SSD? This would've looked a lot better without the soldered non-upgradable SSD. It's not great at all. This guy will probably have a lot of clients https://www.youtube.c

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just replace the 7 speakers with something else?
