Those of you who are married, how do you go about privacy if your wife or husband does not care? (lemm.ee)

I have always been curious about this. Did you get them to use other services or did they stubbornly refuse and you just accepted it? I am talking using Chrome, using Windows, using social media like Tiktok or Facebook or Instagram, etc. Bonus points if you have kids because that is even more work in the privacy realm

Home assistant really is a game changer. Not having ten different apps is great, finally got our roomba fully offlined with rest980 and it works better than the official app and doesn't take forever to load or abrupty stop when there's an aws outage

Robot vacuums are something non-tech people love, then they use the app and they don't love it anymore haha.

Shout out to Valetudo, which saved the day on our chinese roombas.

I am not quite happy with how the current iteration of the documentation no longer supports DIYing the firmware, it is actually still possible and you don't have to use dustbuilder.
