  • They do these types of things, a lot more often than open source projects actually.

    Thread Group:

    • ARM
    • NXP
    • Samsung
    • Qualcomm
    • nest labs (google)
    • Apple

    I will list more that for example google and/or apple are a part of, but not the involved companies to not make a wall

    • OpenID Foundation
    • FIDO Alliance
    • AOMedia (AV1)
    • CSA (formerly ZigBee alliance)
    • Bluetooth SIG
    • Apache Foundation
    • Unicode Consortium
    • WiFi alliance
    • LLVM Foundation

    Not to mention smaller groups that collaborate to discuss strategy over activies like golf or dinners.

    The downside is that very very often, the collaboration involves how best to fuck over consumers and the general public for more profit margin.



  • And this is why I try to recommend to every single person starting their smart home to plan it so that if everything dies, their internet, their router, power gets restarted, and their HomeAssistant gets corrupted, and you die, at the same time, that everything will work exactly as expected, because with MANY smart home systems they will just stop functioning or be stuck in a bad mode until your family hires someone to fix it.

    That’s why I lean hard towards KNX


  • I might catch flak for this, but I understand Fahrenheit made a ton of sense of an illiterate bygone era (well, I guess coming back maybe)

    The vast majority of people were uneducated. Decimals were a non-starter, maybe negatives were also difficult?

    0-100 was very easy. Under 0? Don’t go outside if possible. Over 100? Don’t go outside if possible. >50/halfway? Time for a coat. Having the same scale from -15 to 40 might have been confusing and not centered for them?
