The setup is fairly involved and not super beginner friendly however I finally came across and finished to flash my robot a few weeks ago and i don’t notice any difference vs the stock firmware when using home assistant, beside the fact that its no longer connecting to all these random servers in China. It really is a wonderful project!

Just use valetudo in this case it works great

Well I am about just a sad and relieved that I am not the only one who had this experience. Were you able to cope with it & heal ?

Also care to share a few artists/albums? In exchange i will namedrop bleed the future by archspire

Relatable sadly

These kind of things really messes you up in the long term. My dad was always making fun of me for liking video games and it took me a long time to get rid of the idea that whatever I was interested into was not boring/weird/unusual by default.
