US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

The iMessage lock-in is too real for some of us. I know some iPhone users who won't even install FB Messenger (I know, I don't use it either. Fuck the Zuck) because it's not Apple/iMessage. I finally got my family on Signal and "OMG! We can send videos and pictures now!" Yeah, been saying it for years lol.

My SO and I recently found out that Walmart (I see the Great Value brand) has actually become one of the more expensive places to buy goods from. We've done comparisons from Trader Joe's, Fry's, and Safeway. We've found that Walmart is the least value. Take what you will.

Can you share a screenshot of the error? (Block out any PI of course.) I run into this issue due to my DNS blocking things that Google uses for the integration. I take my cell phone off WiFi, run the integration steps and viola, it connect.

I don't believe remote access is required but I pay the subscription cause lazy and want to help fund the project.

Job site got canceled, away from home, nothing else to do. Spent the last few hours cleaning up and "perfecting" my Home Assistant. I'm sure I'll do it again in a few days.

Eh, it's just like Linux. Sometimes you just backup valuables. Scrap the whole thing and start from scratch again.

Personally, I'm loving the less YAML configs I have to do these days. Use to spends hours configuring it. I much prefer the click a button here and there and I'm done.

Getting old and lazy.
