Thankfully, at least recently, most devices have settled on only a few standards. And some older devices can be modded to work with newer ports. I know rhere are some mods to add a usb-c port to the 2ds, and from what I understand they're not too difficult to do.

True, but thankfully there are a lot of choices in that space, and it's constantly growing. And if there aren't, a lot of times it's possible to make one (or buy someone's) using an esp32 or similar. Zigbee, zwave, and matter devices should all be possible to run local only.

That is a bit surprising for the reasons you say. EVs having less reliability overall kinda makes sense given the market is still going through growing pains. I'm betting it will improve quickly given that most manufacturers are still ramping up production.

Same here. Verizon Fios?

The critic vs audience score divide is pretty telling for some movies. Ant-Man: Quantumania and both Venom movies come to mind as movies that were critically panned but had pretty high audience score. They're nothing spectacular but still dumb fun movies.

Maybe it was just buggy a couple weeks ago when I tried it, but I tried blocking feddit.de and it didn't work. I would still see magazines from that instance, I had to block them individually to make them go away.

I use something called What's Up Docker to check for docker updates. It integrates nicely with Home Assistant, so I made a card on my server state dashboard that shows which containers have updates available. I'll check every so often and update my docker-compose files.

Agreed with this, they may want the setup but have no interest in managing it, no matter how simple you get it. If you do it for them you might be setting yourself up as their permanent support.

I'd gauge how interested they actually are, and make sure they're willing to learn enough to follow basic maintenance routines.
