Huh, I wonder how that works. How can it differentiate grid power vs the power it's supplying to the wall? All I can guess is maybe it polls for grid power by cutting its own supply for a few milliseconds to see if the grid is still there? Couldn't find anything getting into the details online...

I'm curious what the purpose is here, since I don't see it explained on the linked page. Are they essentially trying to bait the state into issuing fines so they can challenge these laws in court? Or just demonstrate how dumb the laws are?

Civil disobedience in this way (buying or owning an "illegal" product) doesn't seem like it would have the same impact as a sit-in against segregation or something like marching on a highway. There's nothing really visible for media to show off, and no real inconvenience to anyone. The state could just ignore these entirely, right?

Edit: answered my own question by reading the main Ageless Linux page. Seems like the point is to bait the state AG into fining them, or if not, explain why they aren't enforcing the law? Dunno if this will do anything but good luck to the project anyway! They certainly have the right spirit.

You mean the homeassistant community? For Home Assistant users? I think it's taken for granted here that people know what HA is, and that doesn't seem unreasonable. I wouldn't expect every post in /c/android to explain what Android is.

Home Assistant users are huge on devices with full local control (no internet connection required). Yes, HA works with cloud-connected devices too, but HA itself is just a platform for connecting all your devices together.

Most users here probably agree with you about avoiding internet connected devices, but your condemnation of HA makes it sound like you have no idea what HA is.
