Question about the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

I never had any luck with zigbee USB dongles. All my devices would just continually fall over and it was a massive pain getting them back talking. Someone ended up recommending me the Zigstar UZG-1 which is a network Poe device, and I have never had a problem since. It has been up and problem free now for about half a year.

As it isn’t plugged into your device, you should also eliminate the issue trying to get it to work in docker

Cornered by the UK’s Demand for an Encryption Backdoor, Apple Turns Off Its Strongest Security Setting. in c/technology@lemmy.zip

Apple should have just shut down all services to the country and let the constituents sort it out. Australia tried a similar thing with Facebook with the Government trying to strong arm them into media deals.. Facebook just chopped off all Australian media and it got rolled back shortly after. Not siding with anyone in the Facebook one as it was a pretty grubby situation all round, but I think Apple has the edge

Coles to dramatically reduce number of products to simplify shopper experience in c/news@aussie.zone

[–] kowcop@aussie.zone 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

About 18 months ago, there was a big uproar from sheep farmers that the price they were getting for lamb was a fraction of what Coles were selling it for. At that time Coles reduced the price of a leg of lamb to $8 a kilo and this has slowly crept back up to $15 a kilo as of last week. At the end of the day, Coles could have left the price as is and paid the farmers more, but nope, they did a short term price reduction which didn’t help them one bit..
