That’s a good mindset to be in. Subscriptions are built to keep us hooked and feel like we’re trapped. It’s no surprise that once it’s cancelled it feels like you’re free.
Push on them for your price. If you don’t get it, honestly home assistant does pretty much everything now for you. Only thing it doesn’t for me are third party online things like social media. IFTTT was good at that.
I’ll be honest I was also a bit disappointed they honored the price, I was ready to cancel but I made such a big deal out of it I gotta kinda go with it lol
This gives me a little more time to find a free maybe self-hosted alternative or come to terms with just eliminating the function from my lifestyle. I’m mostly using it for saving things from one place to another - like YouTube Likes to Raindrop.io and some other stuff to Day One Journal.
@oxjox@scrubbles I have a question. When you say they “grandfathered” you into Pro+, do you mean they accepted you to upgrade to the Pro+ tier for that one-time payment, “for life”? I am genuinely unaware of the meaning because English in not my native language and some phrases do escape my grasp sometimes.
Although, the plan I purchased “forever” for $1.99/month was then called “Pro” and included unlimited applets. They’ve now changed the plans and Pro now has limits while Pro+ is the unlimited plan. So, I’m getting the $14.99/month plan for $1.99. And frankly, it’s far more than I need but that’s besides the point; they promised us something “forever” and that was the only reason I subscribed.
I could be wrong, but I believe the term comes from inheriting property due to family lineage. Because your grandfather owned something, it’s rightfully yours (for better or worse).
@oxjox that is actually a very sweet deal. I’m playing with the idea of building my own server (while keeping my current UnRaid one) on Debian server, and start making it into a NAS server. Then move to that. Its going to take me a while until I learn how to get it to something similar to what I have in UnRaid. The thing is that I want to remain on an array rather than any raid type. OMV running on top of a Debian server should do the trick, in theory, but that’s nowhere as mature as UnRaid.
