"I'm assuming Home Assistant here" Insert Picard facepalm here....I only left out the important detail. Yep I'm switching to HA. Update on mom using Mint, she's trying it on a live USB and so far is positive about it, she likes that it looks and feels like Win7. She's still not ready to take the plunge, but I'm on the lookout for one of those Win10 laptops people are getting rid of when moving to Win11 and then I'll just do a full install so she can try the full experience before making the switch... she needs a new laptop anyway, two netbirds with one gemstone/S.

2k Heard it on the This Week in Bitcoin podcast.

4k First, enjoy the vacation, it's well deserved. Second on Ace's thought on the Amazon coin, I agree with his assessment but I think the real play will be the interest. They will treat the Amazon coin like a gift card where you deposit money with the company and redeem it later, and in that in-between time the company is accruing interest. Starbucks is rivaling some banks with their gift card interest bearing holdings and I'm sure Amazon is not far behind them.

4k I was pro Bitcoin prior to this, but operation choke point was what turned me into a Bitcoin hardliner. Also first boost from my start 9 Alby hub connected to fountain. It took several sessions with ChatGPT to figure out the issues but if you're reading this then it finally worked.

4k I have ADHD and use podcasts and audiobooks to help me focus at work, video just distracts me and so I never use it. That being said if others would like video I'd have no issue with it so long as you remain an audio first show. I've given up on a few long time listens due to the hosts moving to a video first mindset and making the audio a waste of time to listen to, I'd hate to see that happen to TWIB. tl;dr: Video is a fine addition, as long as you keep an audio first mindset.

4k While I do believe that the establishment Democrats are anti-bitcoin, I don't think the El Salvador investigation is just about the use of Bitcoin. While I'm sure the use of Bitcoin is a factor it may just be a convenient way to mask their true intention of driving a wedge between El Salvador and the current administration over the migrant detention center. Then again this is the Dems we're talking about so they may just have their "Bitcoin bad" blinders on and are just taking any opportunity to attack Bitcoin.
