Virtually every app collects crash reports and anonymized analytics. Better for them to tell you about it than not.

They’re more than great coats.

I’ll give you that they didn’t get the numbers perfectly correct with the 95-99% thing, but I don’t think the accurate numbers change the point they were making – if anything, it’s a stronger comparison. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey#Nutrition), honey is 82% sugar and 17% water. HFCS is 24% water (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup#Composition_and_varieties), which makes it 76% sugar.

When I say facts, what I’m referring to is that honey is basically straight high-fructose sugar, in the same way that high-fructose corn syrup is. Wikipedia: “The average ratio was 56% fructose to 44% glucose”. The HFCS that people freak out about in most food is 42% or 55% fructose. So these are very comparable sources of carbohydrates, which is one of the reasons it’s so easy to fake honey with corn syrup.

I’m not making a value judgement here, and I didn’t see one in the GP post that was heavily downvoted. Just pointing out that honey has a very similar composition as HFCS, do with it as you will.

As a bonus, my favorite use for honey is to make honey mustard dipping sauce for chicken tendies. Here’s my not-so-secret recipe: Gulden’s spicy brown mustard, honey, and mayonnaise. (adjust the ratio to your taste) And if you haven’t tried Mike’s Hot Honey, I say seek some out. You can use it in the honey mustard sauce, but I like to make myself a little yogurt, granola, and fruit parfait for breakfast and drizzle hot honey on it.

People are downvoting a simple, literal fact.

Not the question you asked, I know, but I have been buying my tea from uptontea.com since before they had a web site and you had to call in from a printed catalog. Loose leaf tea is economical and gives you a wide variety of choices. I’m drinking my go-to Kensington Breakfast Blend right now.

As you noted, you can override the warning to download anyway, but it is an extra step to try to reduce the chance of someone accidentally running a malicious program.

Sorry, I forgot about this thread, but I was reminded today when I saw the new bug. The issue that originally affected me was https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/103208. It broke Xbee users, so not everyone. My Zigbee integrations didn’t work after the update so I had to roll back to a backup for my first time with HA. A patch was developed, but it didn’t get integrated into any of the 2023.11.x releases, which I found kind of frustrating but I figured I’d wait it out and eventually there would be a version that works again.

Fortunately I held off on 2023.12, because according to https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/105344 a bunch of people are having problems with this release too.

The last update broke zigbee for a month, so forgive me if I don’t jump on this bandwagon.
