Sol-Ark manufacturer reportedly disables all Deye inverters in the US

I gave up on Ubiquiti because of the cloud nonsense. Altium is pushing cloud hard (and pushing me to KiCAD). I'm a weirdo for using a mac w/ only a local account (no apple id). I can't buy any new or electric vehicles because they're all 'smart'.

The cloud is artificial, so it must be chemtrails, which explains why modern software feels like its giving me cancer. Wake up sheeple. /s

Can’t you use ubiquiti fully locally? I haven’t tested my setup but I can access the web ui directly through the device ip

Iirc they've got a one-year timeout for updates, after which they'll make you sign in with a unifi web account in order to update. Deeply frustrating.

If you want an electric truck (or potentially an SUV), consider looking at an Edison Motors pickup truck retrofit. They are technically Diesel Electric instead of pure electric but you can customize the battery load if you want to run full electric. They don't do all the stupid cloud connected software stuff and they are all about repairability/self maintenance.

Probably the only electric vehicle manufacturer that isn't egregiously tech-bro-y and dripping in dark patterns.
