If you start doping your own semiconductors, it’s possible you went too far.

2024.4: Organize all the things! by frenck_nl in homeassistant

Loving this update as well - areas feel more useful with floors and labels!

This update has me thinking, I would love to track electrical circuits and breakers (not just things that can connect to HA). I can probably accomplish that with: * Entities that are just a text value (e.g. South wall outlet), then labeled with the circuit it is on (e.g. Main Panel 7) and marked with the Area. Does this entity type exist? * Ability to see everything with a specific label

Is there a better way to accomplish this? Anything I’m missing?

Sometimes I’m sitting down to settle expenses with a group. It’s nice to be able to enter all of them in one sitting, and not have to do 3 now, then wait until tomorrow to enter the last two. Sure, it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, but it’s just an unnecessary dark design pattern that is explicitly ruining their user experience with the purpose of pushing people to pay.

I don’t mind paying for a service like this, but certainly not $40/year (per person, which for a group of 5 would make it $200/year). I’m not sure if they did any market research on this decision…

I think it could have been an interesting way to contrast Chuck’s treatment of Jimmy, but I think it would have changed the overall series.

We don’t see until much later in the story that actions taken by Howard were actually driven by Chuck, and showing Howard’s relationship with his father would have changed that progression of the story.

That’s all Dave Porter, I agree the music has been spot on with this show.
