I’d honestly prefer raw parroting in most cases, even if it’s “obviously” wrong. I don’t want people selectively interpreting the facts as have been conveyed to them, unless they’re prepared to do a proper peer review.

Though btw, I also think it’s fascinating the difference if you look up Pyhäsalmi Mine gravitricity "2 MW" vs Pyhäsalmi Mine gravitricity "2MW"

You’ll get different articles entirely

I googled Pyhäsalmi Mine gravitricity "2 MW" and EVERY article covering this has also cited 2 MW.

Now, under Occam’s Razor, what’s more likely:

1. Absolutely none of the article writers have any clue what the difference between a MW and a MWh is because none of them remember any physics
2. Some of them could suspect that it’s wrong, but an authoritative source of the claim wrote/said 2 MW capacity when they meant “2 MW peak generation” or “2 MWh storage” (I’d presume Gravitricity, but I’m struggling to find such a source, myself)
3. One writer miswrote/misquoted as per 2, and everyone is mindlessly recycling that original article’s contents with no attribution or care.

I don’t know which one it is. But I’d generally lean against 1.

Right? Like, I felt like I was missing the punchline here.

I hesitate to ask, but, why do you have your IP change every minute? You seem to have a very atypical usecase

Session network binding on its own seems pretty damn basic.

To add onto this:

Home Assistant isn’t “yet another” service. It’s not trying to do vendor lock in: you can think of Home Assistant kinda like a “glue” framework.

It’s meant to let you systemically attach devices/software across any number of mediums, and pre-existing services, and let them play nice.

So if you’ve already gone and set up your Google Home, or Alexa, or Apple Homekit, you don’t have to abandon them to use Home Assistant.

Sometimes you can’t even get away from it: the thermostat that came with our rental basically only has a useful Samsung Smartthings integration, but we can still use it with Home Assistant.
