By your logic then, capitalism is great, because that means no one would've engineered these crazy locks but instead just used the tried and true ones.

Wait. That's not what happened?

Oh.

I actually had to force it via the CLI.

ha core update

That didn't work either, I had to manually specify the version:

ha core update --version 2025.7.0

Is there some trick to getting this installed? My HAOS instance (x64 generic) has no updates pending despite refreshing by clicking "Check for updates" in the android app....

Hell, windows itself does it.

I can tell you that Mediacom cable will cut your service off for it, and you have to call in and get scolded before they turn it back on.

And, if it happens 3 times, your service is disconnected permanently.

What's crazy is that Trump claims to be against the current ruling in Sony's favor, and is siding with Cox.

We have a choice between T-Mobile 5G, 3M ADSL, coax docsis and Starlink.

Of those, the most reliable is the DSL, then Starlink, and it's a tossup whether the T-Mobile or the Mediacom DOCSIS is the least reliable

I worked for Mediacom for 5 years. It wasn't reliable then either, but at least then, I didn't have to play the "first we have to send out a tech that may not actually show up the first time because it's working at the exact moment he checks before he cancels the call" game.

When I left them, we switched to DSL, which was ... painful, but we managed for a couple of years. Then the pandemic happened, and the kiddo went to remote schooling, and the DSL just couldn't handle it. So we used the "reduced cost" internet plan for going back to Mediacom.

Except after months of fighting to actually get the reduced price plan we were supposed to be getting, we were told the T-Mobile now serviced our area, and switched with glee.

And for almost 3 years it was GREAT. But in the past year or so, we began having horrendous service issues. Speeds were no better, and sometimes even worse than the DSL we had previously.

Finally, I had enough, and bit the bullet and switched to Starlink.

Now, our service is great. The bill isn't, because let's face it, $120 a month for 200ish Mbps down and 50ish up is nuts, but at least we have fast, reliable service now.

That's less of a defense of AI slop than it is a condemnation of the entire music industry.

Eh, IoT devices typically use 2.4ghz, or even 933mhz...

No shit? The thing security geeks have been warning about for years with all the cameras everywhere actually happened?

No way! Whodathunkit?
