Interesting, when I took Waymo, it was cheaper than Uber and Lyft, pre tip.

Going off what fishpen0 said, Waymo actually has sensors on it to detect things and can "understand" its surroundings much better than Tesla cars can wish just cameras.

I've ridden in Waymos and they are smooth riding. After the initial "OMG! There's no driver!" You kind of forget about it. You get to your (limited area) destination safely and without much hassle.

I can go more in depth if ya want.

That's a good version of it too.

Whenever someone says that, my reply is "So is a fire. Go jump in one and let me know how it feels." 🤣

It's brual. If you don't have AC in your house/mode of transportation, you can literally die of heat stroke in a few hours.

A fire fighter trainee literally died in Tucson recently from heat stroke. It's bad y'all. Stay away if you can.

Winter is decent though since it's like 50 - 70 lol

Highly disagree that Z-Wave is dead. There are many companies, especially Zooz, coming out with new products all the time. Yes, ZigBee is far cheaper but I've had the worst reliability issues with ZigBee and moved everything to Z-Wave. Zero issues with connectivity or batteries dying too fast.

But that's the beauty and strength of HA. Openess and selection.

Signal stickers is a good enough repo to integrate them

Signal Stickers works well enough to have a good repo of stickers.

Poorly worded but your wifi manufacturer. They put in stuff to "protect" you or "help monitor" your home but all it really is spyware.

Doesn't bring their trust worthiness into question but it is kind of annoying. I get the marketing blitz but tone it down a bit, yeah?

But I can't use the same logic to yarr-harr their content even though I pay for the subscription. It comes with Hulu Live TV + no ads so I have to have it.
