I don’t think that’s entirely correct depending on what you call the “past”, I have an HP server that is about 10-15 years old that I cant use iLO after post because of the same message. They have charged for OOB management for years, but I think it was rolled into support contracts. This server was from an old job and iLO worked when it was dcommed
HP has been doing it for at least 20 years, I remember doing HW scans to send for contract renewals and I’m almost positive that included iLO licensing. Back then it was a “luxury” because we still had most of our servers on prem and could walk up to the KVM if needed. But, maybe you’re talking about back before that time.
However, I agree, it doesn’t make it right, but it also doesn’t mean it hasn’t been done for a long time.

It’s especially true when it comes to things like HACS. I love HA but I’ve also told everyone I know that, if I die, rip all that shit out and replace all the “smart” stuff with regular stuff.
You’re not wrong and, to be fair, I’m mostly exaggerating when I say to rip out all the smart stuff.
Thermostat would stay, Alexa is being phased out but google home would stay, flood sensors I have at this time do not beep because of the stress is causes the pets just during normal testing, but those could be easily replaced.
However, I also have a ton of lighting, zigbee sensors, zigbee smart plugs, camera motion automations, alarm system automations, garage door automations, and other routines that can’t just be taken over by someone that has no desire to mess with HA. It’s not always about the functionality of the device itself, but what HA does to enhance it.
Mine as well, i have a closet with a half rack with all my networking gear, NAS, UPS, proxmox server, etc. If I’m gone, it’s time for whoever lives here to just get a combined router/modem from the ISP and call it a day.
“can’t use the wiring” So in the old days they made people leave all their phones connected when they moved right? /s
Just to play devil’s advocate, does that mean any “artist rendering” shouldn’t be in a documentary? Documentaries have had drawings, with a disclaimer that it is an artist rendering, for as long as I can remember. Or what about when they hire actors to do a “dramatization” of what happened, how is this different?

The quote above is in my first post in this thread. And to say a human can’t render as well as a machine, is arguable, but that isn’t what this is about.
So again, if people are told that it’s a rendering, regardless of who or what rendered it, what is the issue, and should all past documentaries with human renderings/reenactments not be called documentaries?
I’m more bothered by the fact that there is, what looks like, a knife right there. Yet, seemingly, this person has decided to rip off chunks of banana instead of cutting it.
NUC was an Intel thing, it’s used commonly for any USFF PC but NUC was specifically a line from Intel and, I believe, they sold the name off to Asus. They stopped making them, but other people are still continuing to make USFF PCs with Intel chips.

I use proton coupled with my own domain and SimpleLogin (which is now merged with Proton) to create infinite custom email addresses in my domain. I then use filters to move the recipient address to folders and I can turn off one of my SL addresses if it’s compromised or sold and create a new one.
I wonder if you could use a VOIP number from someone like MySudo for that phone. Or just get a prepaid SIM and you’d have a number that could get the texts for activating Signal.
Don’t forget cost, I’m working on replacing mine, but a 30 dollar camera now being replaced by ones that cost around 100 each is just taking time. The ones I have outdoors I don’t really care about, but I’m working hard to replace all the indoor ones. For now all my indoor wyze cameras are on zigbee plugs that cut power when we’re home.
