I would expect it to behave like all other smart home systems, or like a physical dimmer switch/power switch.

The fact that dimming a room turns ON all the lights in the room is actually wild

4·23 hours agoI personally think Paramount appeals for nostalgia
Discovery was a big hit, and although it had some nostalgic elements in the first season, it very quickly became it’s own thing and had a unique style.
SNW also seems to be pretty popular and features TOS characters, but even though it’s set in TOS era I wouldn’t say it’s appealing to nostalgia.
SFA is another one that very much it’s own thing and is NOT relying on nostalgia.
Lower Decks and PIC absolutely appeal to nostalgia, but those also seem to be much less popular with general audiences.
Just saying- that if I was a Paramount big wig I think it makes more sense to take the franchise where no star trek show has gone before, rather than backwards. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
right lol
This one broke zigbee2mqtt for me but I’m not sure why. I rolled back for now.

The thing with Orville is that there are are a lot of very online insecure men who all LARPed that it was amazing because they were upset with the Black Lady show.
It’s not a bad show it’s just hard to gauge the actual real world authentic audience reception.
Sorry what did you mean by “Helium is a fork, so they can keep compatibility going forward”? A fork of what?

Is there a list of sources this pulls from?

Quark's•Paramount’s new, hostile offer to Warner Bros. Discovery: Larry Ellison will personally guarantee $40 billion | CNN BusinessEnglish
1·4 days agoDo they think anyone is actually watching CNN? I know it’s the enemy of the conservative movement, but I don’t know a single person (Liberal, Centrist, Conservative or otherwise) who would even entertain the idea of actively changing the channel to CNN and watching it.
CNN’s primary viewership is doctor’s office waiting room occupants. I have to assume conservatives are just so deep into their own lore that they actually believe CNN is influential at all.

It was my understanding that moving forward full fat UBO would not work on any modern Chromium browser, but I’m admittedly not enough of an expert to know better.















99% of the time I want to adjust the current lighting, I don’t want to first turn on all lights and then adjust all of those lights to a uniform standard. Powering on all unpowered devices when adjusting brightness of a room should be the edge case, not a baked in standard. That’s how a computer thinks, not a person.
For the record all other smart home systems treat room groups the way I am describing (like a dimmer knob and power switches). But there isn’t even an option in HA for rooms to “only adjust devices currently in use”. The smart home companies seem to have researched how people naturally intuit such things.
