I did have a weird issue with my printer under nix, turns out it was a bug. I guess 1h time investment is about right.

But that also meant that my Laptop and my GF's PC were a 0 seconds time investment.

I think that's neat :D

Nvidia Shield. The bigger one.

Yes, it's a couple of years old at this point, but it's still the best device of its kind.

Not to mention the remote is FANTASTIC.

We only have two "smart* things: when we get up to pee at night, a motion sensor turns on a light in the living room. Much dimmer than those premade motion activated lights, so we don't wake each other. Returning to bed and triggering the sensor again turns it off.

And when it has been raining more than a certain threshold in the past 24h, the outlet into which the pump that feeds our drip irrigation is plugged turns off, and on again when it hasn't been raining for a while. Saves lots of water, especially when we are on vacation. (The rest of that system is " dumb", though.)

Security by default is fine, but not if its being forced.

If I go out of my way to root my phone or sideload an app, I have a reason for that. I'm fine with an app going "Hey! This phone is rooted / this app is not from an official source! Wait 10s before you can click 'I understand and take full responsibikity in case of a security breach'".

I'm not OK with an app going "I will not work on this device because yiur environment is non-standard, period".

Pretty sure you can configure it with a key so only authorized clients can use it
