Same reaction here. My Plex install lasted until I realized that I had to log into their servers to watch my own content. WTF is an understatement.

Heat pump water heaters are relatively new, but heat pumps for interior heating and cooling have been around for decades. I have a 14 year old system that works well.

Windows update went way further than deleting Grub on my laptop. It completely wiped my Linux partition, and I'm not alone in having Microsoft blow up my system:

Explain please, exactly who's going to do the dissolving? The same government representatives who are controlled via donations by that corporation? Wishful thinking doesn't make it so.

In fact the opposite is true. Since Citizen's United allowed unlimited ~~bribery~~ political donations, companies hold all the cards. Unlimited funding and advertising can make or break most any candidate's chances for election, especially in purple areas.

As long as the cost of breaking a law is less than the cost of complying, American businesses will choose breaking the law every single time.

Absolutely right. Consistently awful dealership experiences are the primary reason I have kept my cars for a long time. If the dealers weren't so miserable I would have owned twice as many vehicles and would be driving something much newer right now. Who needs a fight and to spend tens of thousands of dollars just to end up feeling screwed?

It seems like some of the car manufacturers might have figured that out by now.

Perhaps so, but I've run HA on a Raspberry Pi under Raspberry OS, HA OS on that Pi, and HA Supervisor on a PC using Debian and am currently running it on a PC under Linux Mint. All of these worked with little or no delay between HA start and device status updates.

HA OS on its own doesn't behave that way, so that leaves Proxmox or perhaps your specific hardware. Can't help you though. Haven't tried HA in any kind of virtual environment.

Someone's overcompensating. It would have been interesting to see Mullin and O'Brien side by side:

Something's wrong with your configuration. What hardware, OS and HA config are you running?

My HA install does not lose anything when restarted. All my wifi, Z-wave & Zigbee devices, various entities and thermostat come back in the same state as prior to restart. I've run HA Supervised on two HW platforms and 3 distros and they've all functioned this way.

Let them refute all they want. I just bought a MicroSD and a SSD and wouldn't even consider Sandisk.
