  • I’m still trying to figure out my network settings so that I can have my IoT one one network while still being able to access my home assistant from the other network.

    Unfortunately, my ISP is also my cable company, and I have to use their modem/router combo else the cable boxes won’t accept the cable signal. I’m using my own wireless access point (which also doubles as a switch for the handful of Ethernet devices I have), and it can split off a separate SSID, but that’s not really doing much.














  • USB-c has a bunch of futureproofing in it, like a bunch of pins that aren’t used yet. And even without those pins, is supports usb4v2, which has 4 lanes of PCIe 4, and they keep doubling the speed every minor release of usb.
    If we get to a point where those other pins are needed in the next decade, I’ll be surprised.

    So unless there is something physically problematic with the connector, like after all this time we suddenly realize that the design causes failure in some common scenario, or material science leaps ahead and the port becomes too large for consumer devices, then it’s probably good that they’re not making a new standard.
