There are ways of making money without damaging society.

And so what? I have 1.5 Gb symmetrical with latency to many sites and game servers under 10 ms (on Wi-Fi!)

I have fiber to home in Canada

Don’t worry it’s not an attack on you or a lie about what you said, just sarcasm.

That’s a tablet with a keyboard case

All I’m hearing is potential savings $$$

Haven’t been on there since the event, though I do read some threads if they come up in a search. Not intending on returning, though I haven’t gotten rid of my old account yet

Sarcasm sure, but I would say that nothing about it is subtle

Right now they’re actually doing more launches with less money and waste, but hate on I guess

For c to c cables, the devices need to be able to communicate with each other to establish which one is the host (the charger in this case). With a to c cables, the type a side is assumed to be the host by default. You’ll often find that manufacturers of cheaper devices prefer not to spend the extra money to implement this technology, though some will, and in fact allow for even more functionality. For example, one of my flashlights does have that chip, so it can both charge from a c to c cable if a charger is detected, and also automatically act as a power bank if I connect a device to it such as a mobile phone.

It’s not difficult to find though it can be expensive. I’ve been using Anker multi port type c chargers for years

Of course

Same on all points

But how else could companies make more money off of something you already paid for? Will someone think of the shareholders‽

Grayjay is also an option

Some day most people will upgrade their devices and it will become smarter to go back to 5GHz

Would be funny, anyway

Definitely use it sometimes to see what a mathematical formula thinks the right tone is for the kind of email I want to write for example

Well I’m glad that you were able to get it to work again then and that it is fixed now

Going from your suggestions I was able to find a workaround to change the device’s state with just one click, so thank you for that.

For the second problem, it seems that while HA sends a command instantly, it only actually changes states on the dashboard once the device sensors update, which seems to be hard coded to happen about every 30 seconds. I am using an integration from HACS (Custom VeSync) though, so I feel like the problem is more likely to do with my own setup. Then again HA would previously just send the requested command no matter what the state was before…

Either way I’m not really familiar with Github beyond reading release notes and readmes.

Edit: Reading further into the integration I’m using, I realized that it relies on cloud polling. I wonder if there’s a way to make Home Assistant assume that a command went through, change states immediately, and then confirm the change with the next polling cycle, rather than just waiting. Unfortunately I don’t know how to implement something like this.

The benevolence!
