Ngl, some of you anti-AI people are becoming just as insufferable as the AI techbros...

You don't need to devolve into contorted bad faith arguments to try to prove LLMs serve absolutely zero useful purpose. Really.

The world isn't black and white.

Federal officers just shot another person in Minneapolis. This is horrific. We are still learning more about what happened, but one thing is clear, the President needs to get ICE and Border Patrol units out of our communities. NOW.

Sharing Is Caring! OpenEVSE JuiceBox Load Sharing with Home Assistant and Node-RED - Transport Evolved
As regulars know, when EnelX dropped support for JuiceBox charging stations, we decided to take matters into our own hands. Using OpenEVSE drop-in boards, Home Assistant, and Node-RED, we’ve hacked our Gen 2 JuiceBoxes to dynamically share a breaker, keeping multiple EVs charging safely. In this video, we show you how we made it happen—and how you can take control of your own EV charging setup.

I have been excited waiting for this podcast to release. I want to have discussions about how we can actually improve the way our world is run. Actually understanding how to actually listen to everyone’s opinions and a government that does the same. Can’t wait for more.

Mark Kelly is a patriot who has served his country in combat, space missions, and the U.S. Senate.

The Trump administration’s threats and intimidation won’t stop Senator Kelly from standing up for the country he’s always served.

NCAR provides weather data that is critical for everything from agriculture to public safety.

Trump wants to gut NCAR and put our communities at risk. We will use every tool to keep that from happening.

RFK Jr. is getting what he wants — public health decisions based on his conspiracy theories, not science. This decision will put the health of our children and communities at risk.

Happy #NationalUglySweaterDay! What started in the US has become an international event as we embrace the beauty in ugly. 😌

Today we're showing off our ugly sweaters: now show us your best! 🤩 Or maybe share a design you'd like to see in our merch store for Holidays 2026... 👀

#HomeAssistant
Paulus Schoutsen, Founder of Home Assistant, sits in his office looking left off-camera wearing a red, black, green, and off-white GitHub ugly sweater obtained from GitHub Universe 2024; across his chest in text is "GitHub", the green sections have GitHub iconography patterned around, and the heads of Mona and Copilot in the off-white section. The wall behind him is white 3D-printed panels, with a Home Assistant Green poster and a block star from Mario Bros on a table. He's sporting a scruffy beard and the "Home Assistant haircut" (meaning, no head hair). Framed around the image is a red border with "@PAULUS" in white text in the top right, the white Home Assistant logo in the bottom left, and "UGLY HOLIDAY SWEATER DAY" in white text is vertical in both the top left and bottom right. JLo Pouffier, Lead of Product & UX @ the Open Home Foundation, sits at a table in his home in his green party dog ugly sweater, holding a mug as if toasting the onlooker; the party dog has red sunglasses & sequin party hat on, surrounded by a pattern of candy, ornaments, & stockings. On the table lays Home Assistant hardware devices, a 2-way radio, and at least 1000 stacked business cards, and the TV behind him has Now, Next, Later roadmap items intentionally left blank. He's smiling at the camera with his black hair short, sporting a full beard, and he's wearing round wire-framed glasses; the arm holding the mug is tattooed. Framed around the image is a red border with "@JLO" in white text in the top right, the white Home Assistant logo in the bottom left, and "UGLY HOLIDAY SWEATER DAY" in white text is vertical in both the top left and bottom right. Missy Quarry, Community & Social Media Manager @ the Open Home Foundation, is wearing Microsoft's infamous blue and green Clippy ugly sweater in front of her Yule tree holding 2 Furby Connect dolls in her hands - her current tinkering project; the left Furby is pink and the right one is teal. Clippy has a text bubble next to him with the text "Happy Holidays!" in it and an "ok" button below. She's smiling at the camera with her dark green curly hair down, wearing large cat's eye glasses with black frames and an intricate rose gold nose ring. Framed around the image is a red border with "@MISSY" in white text in the top right, the white Home Assistant logo in the bottom left, and "UGLY HOLIDAY SWEATER DAY" in white text is vertical in both the top left and bottom right.

Our WWHA partners at @apolloautomation.bsky.social released their 2025 Holiday Ornament, the H-2. All proceeds go to non-profits & this year they're donating a portion to the @openhomefoundation.org! ❄️ Just in time for the holidays ➡️ apolloautomation.com/products/apo...

#SmartHome #HomeAutomation
The H-2 device is gently hung on an evergreen plant decorated with holly and pinecones; the plant has a metal reindeer head to the left of it. The H-2 is a white, snowflake-shaped PCB with LEDs on the branches and Apollo's "A" logo carved in the center. White text at the top reads, "Apollo x Open Home Foundation", and at the bottom center is the Works With Home Assistant badge.

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

‼️ SAVE THE DATE - NOVEMBER 19 ‼️

We're excited to share the next piece of hardware in the Connect series. 👏🏻 Join us in ONE WEEK @ 12:00PM PT / 3:00PM ET / 21:00 CET to see how we made the best better. Hit that 🔔 so you don't miss out! ➡️ youtube.com/live/HSRvso6...
A teaser image in a deep blue color palette for our next piece of hardware in the Connect series. On the right, in dark shadows with a little light coming from the left, is a device that looks similar to the Connect ZWA-2 but is in fact not that device - it's a little smaller; it sits on a circle that has geometric waves in it. Aligned to the bottom left is white text that reads: SAVE THE DATE The best just got better November 19 @ 12:00PM Pacific / 3:00PM Eastern / 21:00 CET /text At the top left in white is the Home Assistant logo and name.

After a few days of data, the pattern was obvious - every time I smelled smoke, PM2.5 would spike. So I pulled 6 months of historical data.

Absolute vindication. I wasn't being a "difficult tenant" - my neighbor was creating EPA-level air pollution in my living space daily for MONTHS!
