I believe that’s their usual release process.

It’s in America so yes.

Go play forbidden west it’s awesome!

I never said anything about Onyx, I don’t own one but have considered them. They look nice and open.

I do own a couple of Kobo devices though and just wanted to say it’s not running Android of any kind but it’s still relatively open. Especially compared to phones, tablets and Kindle. The firmware/OS point you’re trying to make is irrelevant there and I think you know it :)

There is NickelMenu and you can telnet into it. You can also install other OS like KOReader easily, it doesn’t have a locked bootloader or anything like that. So imho that’s pretty accessible and open.

We are talking about the Kobo right? It’s not running any kind of Android or AOSP fork.

No it’s not running Android.

Using Calibre you could probably glue that together. I wouldn’t want Android on an ereader personally.

It’s not open source but it is easily rooted and you can install custom add-ons or even replace the os.

Thanks for elaborating! I don’t use search engines for political/news related queries so I guess that’s why I never noticed (or it’s so effective that I just accept it as the truth of course…). Either way, I agree that’s bad and I hope it’s not an issue with Kagi.

At the risk of sounding incredibly naive, what kind of western censorship are you talking about? I’ve never noticed that as an issue with either Google, DDG or kagi.

What a hilarious oversight with that experiment lol! He must have felt stupid when it was pointed out to him.

Perhaps a repurposed garden hose on a spool could work. I recently saw a pretty long one on sale on amazon and they sell extensions. As long as we’re making stuff up I feel like this should work nicely ;-)

They won’t. Most people just don’t care at all unfortunately :(

Interesting how yours wasn’t weirdly quoted, I already thought it looked a bit strange. I’m on Pixel 6.

You’d need a way to run HomeAssistant and some interface to talk Zigbee, like the Conbee 2 or the SkyConnect mentioned here. I was looking into purchasing the SkyConnect last week after hearing about this Philips Hue crap but am not convinced it’s the way to go, I found several reports of reduced range with SkyConnect compared to the Conbee. See for example https://community.home-assistant.io/t/conbee-ii-vs-skyconnect-performance/545759/2 or https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/86231. Personally waiting a bit before I purchase either option as I have a hub that works now, but leaning towards the Conbee2 at the moment.

There’s plenty of small cases or even 3D printable stuff available to put them in a nice enclosure. You could also buy something with an enclosure included, like the atom lite which I got some time ago as a cheap bluetooth proxy; https://shop.m5stack.com/products/atom-lite-esp32-development-kit

I have a lot of ESPs around the house but they are all in enclosures.
