    Stick to Z-Wave and ZigBee products only and come join us in the wonderful, free land of Home Assistant.

    So... I got a zigbee outlets bar because I want to control some stuff independently, and apparently the firmware does export its 5 switches at the zigbee interface, but will relay any command into all of them unless it detects you are using the app that goes to the cloud and requires an account...

    The shit is in all IoT, not only on the WiFi stuff.

    I think you might have posted to the wrong community.

    Because this isn't shitposting, it's just a legitimate frustration.

    I'd agree if it was under unpopular opinion, but a shitpost can be something everyone agrees with. It's just low effort, both the post and usually the replies.

    I feel shitposting has to have an element of trolling, either by being ostentatiously low effort or low quality, purposely offensive, obviously being said in bad faith, etc.

    Politely stating something that most people agree with is just posting.

    I agree!

    The way that I combat this is that I have my own domain and make a trash@yadayada.something and that's all they get from me.

    I can get the verification link and the rest goes to a box called "the void". The void auto deletes every night.

    Same but with Addy.io

    I do wonder though. With device fingerprinting being what it is (and I'm only learning how deep it goes) I imagine it would be fairly easy to say all @yadaya.something are all the same person, and not individual people.

    I do a lot to stay anonymous/blend in (so many different threat models) but I wonder how much it does if they jsut know anyway.

    Yeah, it's a cat and mouse game for sure. I think if you do anything that is more than voluntarily give your data to them, that's a win. I hope that at least I'm wasting some of there resources even if some data base has linked me to the trash email.

    I also love when reps ask for my email in person. I love spelling out "trash" phonetically and watch there face connect the dots. Also my domain is let's say ... Not user friendly and I say it fast and hope they miss hear or type and it's wrong because of them.
