Land of the free, home of the brave or something. Doesn't sound very free or brave to me though. More like government mandated helicopter parenting.

Even better, Shelly. Their devices have optional cloud connectivity, but also have a local API. they're compatible with home assistant and their bluetooth sensors use the BTHome standard, which works beautifully with home assistant as well.

Indeed, just let them be responsible for waking up on time. If they wake up late, the consequences are for them. Don't want the offered solution, find your own, it's not my problem if you're late for school/whatever.

Without a doubt, that would be the first car I ever owned, a Renault 21 2.0 diesel that was about 12 years old when I bought it in 1999 of thereabouts, for slightly north of € 1000.

It had some rust, but the worst part about it was that it was slow as molasses. It would do 0-100kph in 25 seconds on a good day, with a top speed of 125 on the speedometer. I laughingly called that my highway cruise control 😁

At the same time, I have very fond memories of that car, as it allowed me to visit my then girlfriend (and current wife), and had loads of cargo space. It also handled speed bumps incredibly well, so I didn't really need to slow down for them. It also helped that I never had any reliability issues with that thing, until it was totaled.

Damn, it costs even a lot more than my Zero (which I like a lot). On top of that, it's basically a moped with limited range (ok, halfway decent for a moped, but come on).

That said, if this kind of look is your thing, RGNT has you covered for less money, while offering more range.

Understandable, but I was sold on it after the free trial. I actually got the results I was looking for most of the time, and I love that you can block/demote/promote certain sites, as well as the search lenses as they call them.

The incognito search url is also practical, searching with Kagi from your incognito browser windows.

No ads, no personalized search bubble, ... Worth the money to me. Apparently much of that can also be achieved with SearXNG, according to what people say,but you tried that already.

With the important sidenote that the protective gear has an abrasion rafting that's only valid with the default protectors installed. If you remove them, the abrasion protection of the garment will likely be a bit lower.

They do however state that they will add these destinations in October. Will any EU countries still be missing out when those will have been added?

The social stuff may be bloat to you, but it helps me to see which friends are online, and let's me join their games or invite them to mine.

There's nothing that epic adds that I care about and I refuse to buy their exclusives, because that encourages them even more to keep doing that.

Steam may not be perfect, but it's pretty damn good. I have enough with GOG and Steam, and don't want to add multiple storefronts to the list of launchers on my PC.

I don't have an issue with the soft limit on the number of keys, if the limitations aren't too strict. The way it's described makes it sound like it's just to prevent abuse.

I didn't even have a problem with the price parity, since that's limited to the sale of said Steam keys on other store platforms, which makes sense. The developer can still hand out keys for free, just not sell them cheaper anywhere else. I would however find it problematic if they also required price parity for sales of non Steam key copies on other stores.
