Nordic nations embrace total defense as the risk of sabotage and war rises
  • "Defense" sells better than "war."

    When we go to war abroad it is in "defense" of our interests.

    Please note the use of quotes. I'm not saying it should be this way. I'm saying that's the spin/marketing and that it works.

  • Russian launches massive nighttime drone and missile attack on Kyiv
  • I never said I supported it. That's something you read into it.

    Bombing of civilians is a long established part of war. As was looting, pillaging and anything else that reminded the populace that war sucks.

    Gengis Khan doesn't have as many descendents as he does because of consentual relations, for example. War is war.

    It's not pretty. And none of that is me saying it's okay.

    Find your villain elsewhere.

  • Russian launches massive nighttime drone and missile attack on Kyiv
  • They may not, but it's part of the war.

    London was bombed. Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Go to Europe and hear how things were more beautiful before the war/bombing.

    Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

    That said, I see Ukrainians as fighting for their survival and I dont fault them in the slightest.

  • Matter 1.3 is here to help get your smart home energy usage under control

    This seemed more balanced and upbeat than other reporting on the topic.

    I'm always happy to see support for Matter and increased awareness.

    The more we expect matter devices and insist on them, the better things get for consumers.

    Photo Gallery - Hardware & Software Recommendation Request

    Now that HA is getting further with local voice control, I'm working towards a full non-cloud, de-googled home experience.

    We have a Google Home Hub and we love the slideshow aspect of it. If the Hub goes, I'd like to replace it with something visually appealing and take on the responsibility of putting photos into some directory(s) for use in a slide show.

    Does anyone have:

    • Preferred HA card/integration/HACS solution?
    • Recommended hardware (ideally it's a screen, not a tablet)?
    • Advice for me while I'm on this journey?

    Where do you turn for game information?

    I tend to rely on City Planner Plays, and then Biffa, for hands-on explanations or analysis.

    There has to be other sources of solid content - what is your preferred source of information?

    I may give the dev diaries a read-through today, but I strongly suspect the content creators have already done a credible job of surfacing the bits that matter.
