  • While I don’t hate it as much as I’ve disliked some of the smaller assistants in the past, it’s still not as useful as basic assistant was in say 2017 before they killed the shopping list in favor of the grocery delivery app they ran for 6 months, or killed a number of integrations over the years.

    While the Google Home scripting interface is great, there are no variables or saved states so you can’t do interesting Home Assistant level stuff with them.

    Gemini still hallucinates so much I can’t call it reliable.

    I have to listen to any of the LLM assistants with the same skepticism I use when watching a White House press conference cause a huge amount of what they say is just bullshit.












  • Unfortunately my Viofo 139A Pro is a piece of shit. It will hard lock without indicating, the lights are all on as though normally working but it’s frozen.

    For the first six months saved videos would get overwritten until they released a firmware update.

    The now 12 year old LG camera worked significantly better and was reliable, they discontinued the app and you can’t control or configure it anymore making it a brick.

    I really wish there wasn’t a trash dashcam that had 3 channels.
