This software can never get enough praise.

If, like me, you like to verify the information, here’s the official press release.

curtail developer choice

Yeah no shit. When developers choose to be anti-consumer, that must be curtailed. That’s precisely what regulations are for.

I have HA on a separate VLAN from IoT devices and have set up mDNS reflection so it can find them.

He does? He essentially denied any wrongdoing, only in a roundabout way.

Yes that’s fair. I live away from home now where bananas are always shipped by sea.

My understanding is that they reap the banana still green, stall their ripening (presumably by somehow making the ethylene inert or some other mechanism), then accelerate their ripening upon arrival.

This has the very evident effect of making the bananas last a very few days in between becoming ripe and getting mushy and improper for consumption.

Back home, they last maybe 4-8 weeks at different stages of ripening, from thick and bright yellow skin with a firm and slightly dry and zesty fruit, to a fairly blackened and fragile skin with a very soft and sweet fruit but still not yet mushy and gooey.

It’s common here to eat green bananas, to the point that many locals think that’s how it’s “supposed” to be. I have explained to friends that’s not the case and it has transformed their views of the fruit. It’s quite curious!

Thank you for that. It’s always nice to be “corrected” by a stranger who has no idea what they’re talking about.

Having had both mandarin and orange trees in back gardens in Brazil, I stand by my confidence.

From a link posted elsewhere in this thread:

When they’re expose to temperatures below 55°F (12.7°C) for long enough, the green chlorophyll breaks down and the orange carotenoids surfaces in a process called “degreening.”

Are you confidently suggesting that in Brazil it doesn’t get colder than 12.7°C? I have a land plot on the moon to sell you. Or, if you prefer to be educated instead, I can point you to some lovely mountainous places to visit in Brazil with a chance to see snow and some of the absolute best artisanal chocolate in the world!

Hell when I was a kid I saw snow at ocean level even!

I can also say that bananas are quite yellow when ripe, without additives. Have had banana trees in 2 different houses, of 2 different banana varieties.

Having grown up in Brazil, I can confidently say that most of our oranges are indeed orange. Green is usually the colour of non-ripe ones and you can expect extreme acidity from them.
