This is sweet. Now I can upgrade my old Mac! How have I never heard of this before?

I didn’t think that book lived up to the hype. But maybe I just didn’t get it.

The only Matter devices I’ve seen so far don’t support Thread, but work over WiFi.

Cool. I didn’t realize Thread was it’s own radio standard, and separate from Bluetooth. Makes sense!

I’d argue it’s perfectly fine for beginners with time and desire to learn. The Arch Wiki is a great resource.

Downvotes really shouldn’t be for comments or submissions that you disagree with, but for anything that does not add to the conversation. Reddit started off with this guideline too, but at some point votes turned into agree/disagree.

OK so what Telegram channels are good to follow here?
