Google nest hub outage shows why not everything should relay on Internet connection

People on this subreddit aren't angry enough about things like basic alarms not going off or not seeing your photos on the screen when the internet connection goes down or when Google has an outage.

All I see is, "Well, I missed my alarm, but... it happens; just wait it out till they fix it."

Do you really need an internet connection for remembering photos, calendar events, reminders, alarms, and basic preset voice commands on the device locally?

That's why I left the google ecosystem I had enough of massive data collection and solutions that require someone else's computer and an internet connection.

Be aware, to use Samsung x Nanoleaf Music Sync feature, you must send your data to China

I discover this by accident, i was setting up the music sync feature inside SmartThings platform and it would just not load (Could not find compatible devices).

After checking error messages via ADB, it turned out that the connection was blocked by my firewall to china. (Address integrations.china.nanoleaf;co)

Whats even funnier, they could pull this integration off on a usa/eu based servers, as Nanoleaf can integrate devices back to SmartThings via cloud, that is not based in china.

I'll investigate more...

Thread diagnosis app thinks there are two thread networks

Smartthings report that the network is intact and still functioning as a whole, but Thread Diagnostic app tells me that Google Home created separate network with the same name?

Another EU W move makes degoogle-ing much easier

Good, it hits them in place where it hurts the most - ad revenue.

We lost free speech on the internet long time ago

Hate speech, strong racism, stalking, and targeted actions against specific person and groups are bad and wrong. But not different opinion that might seem like a negative/hateful one for a certain group of people. You can't question anything.

The thing is, the internet changed so much since it was introduced to us. I remember when it come out for the first time, you could say anything, feel free to discuss anything, anything controversial, uneasy, weird.

Now everything is filtered on the "visible"/"surface" internet, you can get so easily banned, muted, you dont even have a chance to show your opinion.

Often you can feel it the most in politics, and controversial topics there. For example, you will be banned for saying anything that will question rights and boundaries of changing/colorful people on a subreddit about them, and in the other way you will be banned at if you say at conservative subreddit that children should be taught about possibility of changing to the other gender.

I hate subreddit bubbles, I hate whole websites being bubbles. Tools of moderation are a good thing but are overused to mute, and drive/correct opinions of the public.

I see the direction that we are heading to. No "negative" speach, no ability to speak your opinion if it does not match other people's "nice", "clean" and "correct" opinion.

Is it really wrong? To ask for more freedom of speach and ability to question stuff or even - yes having an ability to write something less appropriate/a bit hateful to people.

Let me show my anger, let me show my hatred on a situation, let me use bad words

LET ME SPEAK!

We're being guided like children tru the internet, being hold by hand, and constantly reminded "oh its really really bad to say things to person that does not want to hear them", it shouldnt be this way.

I'M AN ADULT, I DONT CARE THAT SOMEONE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE MY STUPID OPINION, that someone will rage over it, cry about it, report me to mods, kill them selfs??? (I would say, in the last case that person/child should not be on the internet, and should get professional help to get tru thier problems)

First, creating bubbles, than, light moderation to prevent "hate speech" inside that bubble, then banning vpns, than asking for id to access an website, and in near future to access your god damn phone that you bought.

What, are we going to be judged in real life with real consequences for light/calm opinions soon?

Do we really need to go deep in to the "dark web" to get the things back that we lost....?

Hello, I found the toggle in ConnectLife app, but this only applies to the commands send from the app.

Is there a way to turn off the sound completely when using an physical remote/voice assistant?

Thank you.
