Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud - Home Assistant

This always annoys me. How can a device you have purchased outright with certain functionality, have the terms of service changed after the point of purchase which then changes that usage of the device.

This seems like you could return for refund as the device is NOW not what you originally purchased.

Where does this end? We buy a car then 5yrs later they change the terms of service and if you don't agree you don't get the right to have tires on your car.

You know what mate you could have put the above info into your original post to help those trying to help you. Instead of the way you just came across in your reply, whether or not you agree with the aid given just accept it with thanks.

Is it possible to make a world where countries are driven by concern of people as a whole rather than separate national interests?

I had this discussion with my work colleagues before COVID was a thing. I asked the question along the lines of "If aliens were to come to earth and pose an existential threat could you see the world uniting as one"

I don't believe so. I think although we would weakly work together the big world players still could not put aside their issues and trust enough to get the job done.

Then COVID occurred and I brought this question back up citing that even a global pandemic couldn't generally get us to put aside our differences and work for the benefit of the world.

In the back of each countries head would be "How do I as a country emerge from this threat as the dominate force".

Labor's CGT plan flawed but better than what we have, economists tell inquiry

This is what disappoints me. All I ever want is for my government to do a little better for a better cross section of the people. I dont want perfect immediately, but I do want improvement.

But we instead get 'outraged' and short sighted and turn to poorer options like One Nation as an alternative. It's just like the meme of sticking a stick in your spokes.

Where Pauline Hanson got gifted a private jet, has dinners with Trump/Gina Rhinehart folk. ON could not care less about these people.

You have Barnaby Joyce apparently against climate change and is terrified of wind turbines, and makes a 6th grader look intelligent in comparison.

Read, think and vote for the future where you have a chance.
