And that’s the fault of whoever uses those hubs. You can use practically any zigbee hub you wish. Zigbee is zigbee.

You didn’t look very hard.

Cheap zigbee stuff exists everywhere. And zigbee is an open standard, so if it works, it will work until the equipment breaks.

The Linux kernel isn’t really much different between any distribution of Linux.

If it works on one, it works on the rest, in like 99% of cases.

The only real exception to that is custom distributions built specifically for a particular device or subset of devices.

In other words, for embedded devices, like phones, routers, TVs and such.

And those aren’t going to be running Ubuntu.

Naive? No. What’s naive is thinking that if you give power to anyone over your own data , even your government, that it will.protect it.

You think the EU cares about your privacy? I know my own government is doing it’s level best to destroy mine, but at least I’m aware of it.

You, however, have the naivete of Pollyanna and think your vaunted EU is better.

That sounds like privacy, not evil.

Because history, as well as current events, tell us that governments will absolutely make privacy illegal, so if you can do an end run of them by not being beholden to ANY government, then that is absolutely a good thing.
