The Purple Cow

I ordered a dishwasher and was told it had been in the post for over a week. What's going on?

Sali zeme At the moment I have the steffen wireless switches to switch a few devices (mainly loudspeakers that make noise when the pc is off) that are slowly breaking down and are no longer available in the shop. i could just replace them with the new and hopefully better ones, but as i now have my homeassistant setup with hue and nanoleaf lights, i thought it would be a good idea to buy plugs that are integrated with them. The path of least resistance would be to just buy the hue plugs as I already have the hue bridge. But I think the ability to measure power consumption would also be good. tldr; my goal: prio 1: switch prio 2: measure and at the same time: - swiss plug - home assistant integration for switching (and possibly measuring) as little hacky as possible - as little fiddling and phone home with proprietary apps, clouds and accounts as possible is that possible? e.g. when i google the brands here in the shop i come across home assistant integrations for the brand - but then not for the plugs - or for the plugs but not with measurement - or homeassistant possible but through smart things, tuya etc. cloud integration zigbee sounds like a way to go, with the hue bridge I actually also have a zigbee gateway, but I don't understand if there are limits to the functions compared to a zigbee gateway like the one from Nabu Casa in the discussion about the hombli plugs i found the recommendation: "Eve Energy CH with Matter over Thread", should I just get a thread border router like the one from espressif? if i need an app just to pair, that's ok, but not permanently on the internet just to control my stuff in the house

Hello, I'm wondering about the relevance and, above all, the morality of selling products that are banned for use in Switzerland? As a reminder, electric scooters exceeding 20km/h are banned from circulation in Switzerland. Of course, you're bound to tell me that these machines can be used on private land without being on the public highway, but that's an argument in bad faith, because we know where these vehicles end up in the end. Serious accidents are on the increase and Galaxus should ask itself whether it is responsible for some of these accidents.

... do they still exist in Switzerland ? - I bought the last ones in the USA, why don't they exist in Switzerland ?

Hello, I have just checked how far you have got with my order, which I placed 2-3 weeks ago, and I see a tick next to: slower delivery allowed. But I know for a fact that I didn't tick this box because I wanted to receive the order as quickly as possible. I find this quite impertinent. If I had known that I would have to wait 1-1.5 months for my order, I wouldn't have placed it in the first place. I don't want to cancel it now after this loooong wait either. A really successful stall.
