I’m working on moving to local control as much as possible for my smart home stuff. Switched to zwave for my thermostat from nest, excellent move, I don’t lose connection (and automations) randomly anymore.
Also ripping all my optical media for jellyfin to avoid relying on these assholes deleting stuff from their streaming catalogs for tax breaks.
It’s not just google, it’s all of these companies.
It isn’t cheap, but it is very rewarding. Twice in the past couple of months have I been able to give family members out so that they don’t lose or have to start paying exorbitant amounts.
