Schlage’s Zwave/Zigbee stuff works really well with Home Assistant. Ours have been hooked up since day 1 and don’t have any issues that I know of

Laptops that businesses used are pretty good value for the quality. My SO gets Latitude 5590s from eBay that are in near pristine condition and are workhorses for everything he does. They work great with Linux too.

The order of the comment headers is the other way - above the comment it goes with. If you scroll to the top, you can see it better there. The Microsoft person is Zied Aouina

The coasters are so pretty, I put them everywhere. I don’t have a letter opener so I’m stoked for Nightblood to help me with my junk mail.

I agree, these kits are all awesome. Last month’s with the bag is so far my favorite just because of how useful it’s turned out to be (putting my crochet supplies and current project in it because I don’t want to dirty it with toiletries)

From an IT perspective with little context on this change other than what’s in the article, if there’s no way to import your own certs using an MDM, this change is terrible for businesses.

You need custom certs for all kinds of things. A company’s test servers often don’t use public CA certs because it’s expensive (or the devs are too lazy to set up Let’s Encrypt). So you import a central private CA cert to IT-managed devices so browsers and endpoints don’t have a fit.

For increased network security, private CAs are used for SSL decryption to determine what sites devices are going to and to check for malware embedded in pages. In order to conduct SSL decryption, you need your own private CA cert for decrypting and re-encrypting web content. While this is on the decline because of pinned certs being adopted by big websites, it’s still in use for any sites you can get away with. You basically kill any network-level security tools that are almost certainly enabled on the VPN/SASE used to access private test sites.

Not OP, but we just installed Caseta/Lutron switches (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Lutron-Caseta-Wireless-4-Speed-1-5-Amp-White-Smart-Touch-Fan-Control/1000790772) and they work like a charm. They do require a bridge, but it integrates pretty easily into Home Assistant.
This obviously wouldn’t work if your fan is hooked up to the overhead light switch. You’d need a box to put in the fan itself.
We have a bedside button (Shelly, I think?) that when we press it for bedtime, it turns off all lights in the house (Hue bulbs and Kasa wall switches), turns off the TV (Kasa outlet), turns up the fan speed (Caseta wall switch), and plays rain noises (Google Home speaker).
