I mean - the ones you can buy from Amazon are the same you buy from Aliexpress, just more expensive. Of course, one could fear that some of them have failed QA or whatever - but I would not have much reason to suspect malicious firmware - and if you do, you can flash your own. You do that anyway if you want to use the dongle as a Zigbee router (instead of coordinator).

What is a sketchy option?

I just bought a Sonoff Zigbee Dongle Plus E and use ZHA and it works like a charm. No third party cloud based coordinator. I guess you still have to trust the firmware of the dongle, but that is about it.

“Pull over” - are you assuming I am checking Lemmy while driving?

I hear you. But I would still be cautious by default.

I am not talking about the bubble. I am talking about AI being a threat to humanity up there with nuclear wipe out.

Well, we will likely die with them in that case.

Apologies for the bait. Saw the shot and took it.

In the trash where it belongs.

All my cutlery is also the same, yet there is still one fork with a rust-spot that I really hate.

Believe it or not, but this is how CPUs and other microchips are handled. For a specific architecture, the chip is tested and depending on how many cores are working and how well it performs, it will be sold as say i3, i5 or i7 (in case of Intel).

Yeah, let’s pray. I just saw the opportunity to make a joke. But in reality, I understood what you meant and feel the same.

I have got bad news for you.

Grok, is this true?

Wasm cannot modify the DOM iirc

What’s your alternative for web development?

Server side rendered content can only get you so far.

I am an advocate for LKPPR (Linux, Kubernetes, Postgres, Python, React). Doesn’t roll off the tongue that well.

No, but single quotes will.

Oh damn, haha.
