[347.50 --> 351.24] I mean, if that happens, I think I've probably got bigger problems, really. |
[351.72 --> 352.26] Oh, I don't know. |
[352.66 --> 353.10] I don't know. |
[353.42 --> 354.10] You're on the west coast. |
[354.20 --> 356.40] I don't think the fallout would make it quite that far. |
[356.64 --> 357.10] I'm joking. |
[357.24 --> 358.72] Of course, there'd be bigger problems than that. |
[359.36 --> 361.40] There's one or two mountains between us, I suppose. |
[361.70 --> 362.74] Maybe I'll do all right. |
[363.06 --> 364.72] And then, really, life should just go on as normal. |
[364.88 --> 366.18] There would be no other repercussions. |
[367.54 --> 367.86] No. |
[368.02 --> 372.14] I mean, if the federal government disappeared tomorrow, I don't think anybody would be too upset. |
[372.24 --> 372.48] Do you? |
[373.30 --> 375.72] No, I'd just vote with blockchain, I think. |
[375.84 --> 376.50] That's what would happen. |
[376.50 --> 377.24] Uh-oh. |
[377.42 --> 378.42] So, was that your prediction? |
[378.70 --> 379.38] Was it 200? |
[379.56 --> 380.32] What was it? |
[380.44 --> 381.66] I think I missed the prediction. |
[381.66 --> 384.78] A 20 terabyte easy store for $250 or less. |
[385.74 --> 386.10] Okay. |
[386.68 --> 387.00] Okay. |
[387.34 --> 391.98] Can I ask you what you think, Alex, your success rate might be? |
[393.40 --> 393.76] Zero percent. |
[395.34 --> 396.16] Oh, man. |
[396.74 --> 397.86] But he's doing it anyways. |
[398.32 --> 400.92] A couple of years ago, I was pretty confident about it. |
[400.92 --> 402.52] But, I don't know. |
[402.60 --> 408.60] The way things are at the minute and, you know, chip shortages and all that kind of stuff, I'm not so sure anymore. |
[408.80 --> 410.68] But, you know, can't blame a guy for trying. |
[411.64 --> 411.72] No. |
[412.04 --> 414.58] What about diminishing returns when it comes to hard drive? |
[414.88 --> 420.38] Like, I don't know, squeezing that much data into tiny, like it's a physical space. |
[420.62 --> 421.58] Is there any... |
[421.58 --> 422.66] Terabyte is a terabyte. |
[423.22 --> 427.18] Yeah, but I guess what I'm saying is, is there any physical limitation to how far this can go? |
[427.26 --> 429.02] Oh, there's been a lot of innovations in that space. |
[429.26 --> 430.72] For better or for worse, for sure. |
[431.12 --> 437.70] Yeah, they do all sorts of shenanigans to fit more bits and bytes and stuff onto a single platter. |
[438.82 --> 442.30] You know, that's way beyond what I think about generally on the regular. |
[443.08 --> 446.62] I think about how much space I can fit into a single drive slot. |
[446.62 --> 454.66] And for me and my backup server, for example, I've just built a new backup server that has five hot swap drive bays. |
[454.90 --> 460.14] And so for me, I want to be able to cram as many terabytes into those five slots as I can. |
[460.38 --> 464.62] So trying to get the most terabyte per slot for me is the name of the game. |
[465.48 --> 467.48] Yep, I totally agree. |
[468.08 --> 472.34] So Santa brought you a few gifts and some of them speak HomeKit. |
[472.34 --> 479.58] And this is a topic we've danced around on the show because we appreciate not everyone listening even cares about this kind of stuff. |
[479.70 --> 482.54] You've been prepping for this episode for years. |
[483.40 --> 483.52] Yeah. |
[483.86 --> 490.12] You know, honestly, before I gave Home Assistant a go, I gave HomeKit a go. |
[490.36 --> 494.62] Like, I just tried to do everything with HomeKit because there's things I like about it. |
[494.62 --> 501.76] If you're not familiar, it's basically a software framework that Apple created that exists in the iOS ecosystem and now the Mac. |
[501.76 --> 507.98] And it allows for LAN-based smart automation and device controls. |
[508.76 --> 511.62] And because it's LAN-based, it's really quick. |
[511.82 --> 518.18] And because it's Apple, it's integrated into the OS and it's integrated into any of the Siri speaker devices. |
[518.54 --> 523.28] And anything that you can invoke Siri on, you can control a HomeKit device with. |
[523.38 --> 525.96] So that it kind of opens it up to a pretty wide ecosystem. |
[526.16 --> 529.26] Even the Apple TV remote can be used to control HomeKit devices. |
[529.26 --> 534.84] And, of course, Apple builds HomeKit automations into their Shortcuts app on the iPhone. |
[534.98 --> 542.84] So you can build automations in your smart home using the Shortcuts app just if you really live in that ecosystem. |
[542.98 --> 549.76] But obviously, because it's Apple's ecosystem, it's a big sandbox, but it is absolutely a sandbox and it does have walls. |
[549.76 --> 551.26] So absolutely. |
[551.42 --> 558.40] I'm already bumping up against those walls on, you know, day 10 or whatever of my iOS transition. |
[558.68 --> 567.30] You know, I've been using Android for the best part of a decade and figured I'd give the iOS side a proper college try this year. |
[567.34 --> 569.08] So I'm going to keep going with this phone. |
[570.12 --> 571.12] I'm going to try and do a year. |
[571.36 --> 572.04] We'll see how it goes. |
[572.24 --> 573.72] I'm liking it so far for the most part. |
[573.80 --> 574.58] There's a couple of things. |
[574.58 --> 579.72] But coming back to HomeKit, what's really nice is how it's seamless, right? |
[579.80 --> 589.02] And when I pull down on my notification kind of control center thing up in the top right, I get a button there called Home, which has some favorites within it. |
[589.16 --> 594.90] And one of the things that came up right away without any configuration at all was my LG TV. |
[595.08 --> 597.24] So I can just turn it on and off straight from my phone. |
[597.32 --> 598.64] No need for a specific app. |
[598.64 --> 602.64] Yeah, as you would expect, Apple is pretty good at what they do support. |
[602.86 --> 603.84] It works pretty well. |
[604.58 --> 607.10] And HomeKit itself seems to be fairly robust. |
[607.22 --> 609.10] They've open sourced a lot of it. |
[609.30 --> 612.24] It uses encryption that seems to be pretty strong. |
[612.64 --> 615.62] And they're promising broader integration with Matter as that develops. |
[615.70 --> 616.78] They're one of the partners there. |
[617.28 --> 619.10] So there's some things to like about it. |
[619.20 --> 622.62] And I think as we get into this, I want to talk about how you can integrate it with Home Assistant. |
[622.72 --> 623.98] I don't know if you've tried that yet, Alex. |
[625.04 --> 625.66] Not yet. |
[625.66 --> 630.24] I mean, you know that I have dozens of home automation devices around this house already. |
[631.10 --> 634.32] The only one that got picked up out of the box was my LG TV. |
[636.04 --> 637.94] Okay, well, so I think let's start here. |
[638.34 --> 644.60] I think where I want to take this is if you have family members listening that want some home automation, |
[644.96 --> 649.50] they're not comfortable with Google or Amazon doing cloud control services, |
[649.50 --> 655.90] and they're not interested in running something like Home Assistant or OpenHAB or a SmartThings hub. |
[656.36 --> 658.70] But they have iOS devices, right? |
[658.78 --> 662.88] This is a category of user that's perfect for this because they can really get a lot done. |
[663.30 --> 670.92] Here at the studio, I actually use automations with HomeKit to turn on and off the lights when I arrive and leave. |
[670.92 --> 673.54] I don't actually do it directly on Home Assistant. |
[674.08 --> 676.66] It's triggering Home Assistant devices, which we'll talk about. |
[677.38 --> 681.06] But the automation is actually being triggered by shortcuts on my iPhone. |
[681.70 --> 685.56] Also, I use that same setup to scan NFC tags to trigger automations. |
