Big deal. I did something like that once with no AI whatsoever.

Yep. I’m doing it currently with my work laptop. I have two G speakers set up as a stereo pair and connected to laptop by BT.

That’s the most devastatingly effective description of the shitshow that I’ve ever heard.

Well worded and thanks. ✌🏼

1tn is plenty to go round surely!!!

Yet they still are knocking on the door of a 1tn valuation. 😖

For me the win is being able to delete my Google speakers for voice control. Paired with Home Assistant Voice device it can pretty much replace Google. I’ll just use the Google speakers via bluetooth as music players.

UI is a bit clunky as mentioned, but I’m happy to live with that for now due to ^^^.

Alanis could write an extra line in a particular song about this.

Or she could write a new song about NIMBYism, hypocrisy etc.

It’s not FOSS though I think? Free and paid tier. Website doesn’t say much about privacy etc. I actually have Lawnchair running silently and almost configured to mirror my Nova home screen but there doesn’t seem to be folders in the app drawer which is a pain, unless I have totally missed it.

Edit: Indeed, I totally missed it, in the settings. FFS.

Excellent. Lawnchair it is then.

The Fossify suite has a messages app. Available on Fdroid. No internet access, no trackers.

It’s not as polished visually as the mainstream apps but works absolutely fine.

Nabu Casa is the way. Built by Home Assistant for Home Assistant, and utterly seamless and reliable (in my experience).

Most importantly it supports the developers who have created this amazing piece if software! Do it! 👍🏼🙏🏼
