I’m embarking on home automation, but reading #homeassistant posts over the past few years has me dissolutioned. There seems to be a lot of turnover issues: proprietary #hardware, and pre-ordained #obsolesence. And complicated integrations that fail after being in use.

So is there a #training available that enables a new user to adopt #bestpractices from the start? There seems to be too many novices that slap stuff together and post about it. This is not the way to build a strong open source alternative to corporate offerings.

Suggestion welcome!!

Wieder mal ein Fall von geplanter Abnutzung. Dunstabzugshaube mit zwei massiven 100 Watt Motoren startet nur langsam auf voller Leistung. Geöffnet, nachgeschaut... Die Lager beider Motoren sind hinüber - bin mir nicht mal sicher ob das mal Kugellager waren. Und tauschen kann man nur die ganzen Motoren um 115 € pro Stück. Das Lager kann nicht mehr wie 5 Euro kosten. Ich hau mal Fett rein und schau obs dann geht... #obsolesence #Abnutzung #diy #reparatur #motor #lager

On a une "vieille" tablette Samsung bloquée sous Android 6. Je cherche quoi en faire pour la garder en fonctionnement malgré l'obsolescence programmée.

I thought this was a conscience choice 🤷‍♂️

But hey, 8 lines later and suddenly the previously unsupported, obsolete legacy devices are working again 🥳

Yaaay not yay, my phone has a confirmed use-after-free #vulnerability in its proprietary #GPU #firmware which #Samsung will of course not bother to fix.

The device is not even 6 years old. 😠

Mali GPU Driver Vulnerabilities

In certain circumstances, some versions of the Mali GPU Kernel driver can become compromised.

Dites, question pour Ceux qui Savent :
Quand un smartphone fonctionne toujours bien (hors longévité de batterie, offcuuurse) mais qu'il a dépassé la durée de vie consuméristement (rapport à des mises à jour, tout ça 😑) acceptable, y'a rien à faire pour le sauver ?

J'ai regardé s'il était compatible avec #graphène ou /e/ et ça n'a pas l'air..

J'aime bien quand on me force à choisir entre consommation responsable et sécurité. C'trop l'fun.

@risottobias This is the one thing I really dislike about #apple : quick/planned hardware #obsolesence.
They are doing rather good on #ios (way better than #android support) but this can be improved.
On #macos, #OpenCoreLegacyPatcher (#oclp ) proves hardware support is voluntarily removed with each new release.
On both sides, they can provide longer software support even if some new features are not available on older hardware. 1/

#LeMonde a testé le #Fairphone 5, et semble convaincu.

Mais cette réflexion m'interpelle:

"Il n’est pas non plus certain, dans six à huit ans, que le processeur du nouveau Fairphone reste suffisamment vaillant pour faire tourner les menus du mobile de manière fluide, alors que les applications seront devenues plus gourmandes."

Pourquoi ça devrait être normal que les apps soient de + en + gourmandes ?

L'efficience, on oublie ?
Les sources de l'#obsolesence aussi ?

On a testé… le Fairphone 5, un smartphone écoresponsable enfin convaincant

Ce téléphone assez volumineux embarque un très honnête équipement de mobile moyen de gamme, aisément démontable. Un saut qualitatif notable en comparaison de son prédécesseur, mais qui se fait au prix d’une facture plus salée.

#obsolesence through missing SW support is something we have not yet started to address.
Ideally, we would force companies to publish documentation and specifications for products they don’t support anymore as open source. This could be a part of #RightToRepair
