Am gizmo shopping and would like some smart door locks. Figured y’all might have some recommendations on things that play nice with Home Assistant if networked, and generally don’t suck.

Features I think I want (but open to opinions/suggestions):

• physical key backup in addition to numerical keypad
• rfid so we can use our lovely magic rings
• enough distinct keypad codes that 4 family members and maybe half a dozen others can get their own
• not fugly (current door hardware is black)
• cheap enough that I can get 3 of them and still eat this month
• I’m wary of Bluetooth, but that might be a holdover from old versions that used to be insecure af. Not really up on it any more from a security standpoint.

Any of the above can be compromised on if my assumptions are wrong. Open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

I'm shopping for a new car, and would like to choose one made with the least bad labour practices, if possible.

My reading suggests there is literally no good choice, but curious if anyone here has a perspective that could inform my choice.

Is there any car company that shits on their workers less and/or chooses contractors/vendors that shit on their workers less than the rest? Or are we just doomed to drive around the blood sweat and tears of exploited persons?

Shopping in America.

Edit: New to me. Used just as likely.

Standby for a wave of PR masquerading as news.

As talks with the Writers Guild of America stall, the studio trade association has retained D.C.-based firm The Levinson Group to pursue a fresh messaging strategy.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has hired a prominent Washington, D.C.-based crisis management firm to assist its messaging effort as the double actors and writers strike grinds on with no end in sight. The studios’ trade association has been under an unprecedented national spotlight in its four-decade history as the work stoppages lead to severe ripple-effect economic consequences.

The organization as well as the PR company, The Levinson Group, declined to comment. It’s led by namesake Molly Levinson, a former political director at CNN and CBS turned strategic adviser for corporate clients with reputational and risk concerns. She’s also known for her work on behalf of the restaurant Comet Ping Pong, countering
