  • You’re talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.

    Well that’s a wild assumption.

    Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.

    I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I’m not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.

    I’m a vegetarian. Ordering an impossible burger off the broiler from Burger King always seems to make the drive-thru person want to fight me, for some reason. They’re often too occupied to hear what I’m saying well, and they don’t always put it on the screen right away. When I ask to confirm it, ~80% of the time they give me lip service.

    This is my metric. As long as Burger King keeps giving me shit, I’m in favor of AI replacing their jobs. If they were kinder, I would never think this. To be honest, this experience has kept me from going to Burger King most times. Try ordering this at 10 places that aren’t dead and you’ll see what I mean.




  • It’s more or less a consumer version of their RA2 system, which is its own protocol. The gateway interacts with the whole system using commands issued over telnet though, so you actually have a command line for operating and configuring it. It integrates with a bunch of closed systems, and it integrates right into Home Assistant with a first-party HA integration.

    It’s not like you can inspect the source code for their firmware push up pull requests on GitHub, so I’m this aspect, yes, it is proprietary. However, with tools like Home Assistant, which is something you probably should be using, this becomes much less of a concern, in my opinion. It’s robust, high-quality, and is commonplace, so you can get bits and pieces at Home Depot.

    If you’re interested in something that will work with mesh networks and you aren’t interested in running software like Home Assistant, you should look for Z-Wave or Zigbee hardware. Read reviews though; I’ve had a lot of mixed experiences with hardware, even from “trusted” vendors.
