The problem is that Trump isn't actually in charge. He's just the figurehead who holds everyone's attention.
You'd have to remove half the supreme court, Congress, the electoral college, and the entire Heritage Foundation if you wanted a chance at fixing the US.
Trump on his own is a bumbling toddler who couldn't even make his own executive order to sign. I'd rather see him in a nursing home while the people who put him in power get tried for their crimes.
I have all of these settings off, but it's still summarizing my emails and offering to add it to my calendar because there are no conflicting events.
Send them a pride flag with the return address of the preacher.
It depends on your skill level or willingness to learn. Home Assistant is designed specifically for home automation tasks. It runs locally (cloud access optional) and is completely under your control.
I have put several widgets on my phone's home screen to control the smart lights in my room.
I haven't personally tried the voice integration or media streaming, but I see no reason why they wouldn't work for you.
I understand how frustrating it is. You can tell yourself "mistakes happen", but that doesn't seem to make you feel any better.
Imagine instead if your partner had put in months of work to make you happy and then made a single mistake. Would you be angry at them, or would you still love them for the effort they put in and forgive them?
Don't be too hard on yourself. There are solutions, but it will take time to think of them – even the really obvious ones. Take some time off from concentrating on the problem (even sleep on it if you have the time), consciously relax, then start looking for what can be changed. Strong emotions make it really difficult to think logically.
You may be surprised at how much most people care. Many people will empathise with your position (some who've done the same thing) and do everything in their power to help you fix it.
In the end it doesn't really matter if nothing works out. You'll still be disappointed, but there will be other opportunities in the future.
I think I cursed myself. I just got woken up at 6am by my smart light turning on for no apparent reason.
In this case the limit was entirely arbitrary.
The programmers were told to pick a limit and they liked 256. There are issues with having a large number of people in a group, but it wasn't a hardware limit for this particular case.
A lot depends on how you use it and how accessible it is to the outside internet.
I have a few smart devices, but they are all controlled locally. If my internet connection stops working, I still have full control of everything. I also have manual options in case my home network stops working.
Not advice, do your own research: I don't see a big problem it Bluetooth. It can be hacked, but the person hacking has to be near you. That alone protects you from about 8 billion people.
The most knowledgeable IT people have the least IOT devices in their house.
I've been planning to make one of these for a few years. I'll probably keep planning to make it for the next decade or 2.
My 50+ yo mother uses Linux Mint daily with fewer problems that when she used Windows. Her crowning achievement in IT is learning how to use email.
I helped my 93 yo friend switch from Windows 10 to Linux 2 years ago. He called me 3 times in the first 2 weeks to ask how to do something, but hasn't had a single problem since that's related to the OS.
Linux Mint, Bazzite, Fedora, and several other Linux distros are already easier to use than Windows. The only thing holding most people back is fear of change.
There are some people who have specific setups in Windows or a large number of "Windows only" apps, but these people are in the minority. The average person can't even tell you which operating system they're currently using, and wouldn't notice the difference if you swapped the OS but kept the same web browser.
