That Ring argument is interesting. There are some pretty strict regulation here in Finland about what you can save on camera and I could see how those would be illegal in a lot of cases. You can't legally install a camera that watches over the neighbors front door for example.

There's a few countries in Europe with serious restrictions on where cameras can be put. France comes to mind.

Just remember, Atxbyea is a HACk
I'm not going to say home assistant core every time :D

My only complaint on the discord structure is that there's not a general chat that allows home assistant discussion. By the channel topics asking what everyone's favorite home assistant project is, generally doesn't have a home

Yeah, but did he react to it or not
junior forge
yes he did

he even made a suggestion that was applied in this change.
midnight adder
so theere was a change? you changed the name of the channels?
clear ferry
No, it's just you @midnight adder
junior forge
yep, 14 channels removed, 5 new ones. bunch of renames as well.
forest edge
I messaged him like right before all this over my guides suggestion and he let the cat out of the bag but wasn't expecting it to be today lol
junior forge
#guides are probably better suited in a forum
forest edge
had enough? throwing in the towel?
forest edge
@junior forge yes and no, current video and shorter tutorials would be beneficial in here just as much imo because a lot of the same stuff get's reexplained over and over and then you have those hours where not many are around where quick access to something like that could be useful to someone.
kind of like how the pinned feature works except more indepth lol
