The survey title seems to indicate they are targeting urban men with these surveys. I would think that would exclude agricultural workers, wouldn't it?

Through a faraday cage? I mean, maybe… but have you checked if you can just turn the wifi functionality off on the ISP device? Most will let you do this and it would be way easier/cleaner.

Don’t forget the 20% mandatory gratuity!

This guy was commuting three hours per day?! Yeah, no wonder his quality of life improved after he stopped doing that. Unfortunately, I don’t think his experience is going to be very generalizable because most people don’t have a commute length that extreme.

Unfortunately the core devs of HomeAssistant have historically viewed external auth as a niche feature that users don't care about.^[https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/issues/832#issuecomment-1328052330] Not sure if that is still the case, but until that mentality changes we are stuck with native auth because PRs are just going to get denied.
