If Haier is claiming that the integration is causing them financial harm it means that their app is collecting your private data and they are selling it.

Just the usual whining from corps isnt it
I think what's funnier about this is that most home assistant users make purchasing choices based on support in home assistant. So anyone that bought one of their units and used it in home assistant would have just bought something else without the support in home assistant being there.
As a result I would think they actually made more money from having that plugin existing.
My man Louis Rossman did a video on this. Its on YouTube and odysee
My man Louis Rossman needs to take a chill-pill and get some sleep. Dudes heart isn't going to last very long. Let someone else take the reigns for a while.
Dudes so stressed his eyebrows are going bald.
The dark circles around his eyes tell me he doesn't sleep.
He explains in one of the videos that he went to the doctor about it and was told he is fine and just looks like that.
Lmao "doctor what's wrong with me?"
"Sorry bro you just look weird"
I have a similar issue. Dark circles under my eyes no matter how much sleep I get. Wearing glasses does a good job hiding it though, thankfully.
He's a multi millionaire and doing charitable work and running a business. What do you expect? Some people are build for stuff like this hence hes his own boss. He can do 9-5 but he chose not to #respect
This was posted yesterday about 15:00 GMT, by 20:00 GMT the github repo had been forked almost 1000 times.
Fuck off Haier
Good Timing - I had to choose between Panasonic and Haier AC, now i will happily avoid Haier/Candy/Hoover/GE Appl. I hope they get a lesson
I cant wait to see them sueing each one of the thousands forkers
Haier today, gone tomorrow.
3 days ago they had ~30 forks. It's over 1500 now.
please, don't make a local copy of the repo and/or forks out of github. It'd make it difficult to retake their intellectual property, and nobody wants that.
Not a lawyer; would this likely stand up in court? Obviously I wouldn't risk it were I the dev, but just curious.
That isn't clear, but probably not. Though if you are a dev there are some open source charities that exist to defend against things like this, so I'd recommend you go look for one.
No pale idea, i hope it goes well for the dev but i think he is ok if he takes it down
That's ok. Andre0513 has forked the repo and will be continuing its development.
Wtf is up with that building in the picture it's lumpy and ribbed
