    308: Why 2 Million People Ditched Alexa & Google for This - Me Included

    Most smart homes hand your house to Big Tech. Home Assistant is proof they don't have to. Matt and Sean sit down with Paulus Schoutsen, the software engineer who started Home Assistant, the largest open-source smart home platform in the world, now running in over 2 million homes. It runs locally, it keeps your data inside your house, and it doesn't stop working the day a company decides to shut off its servers. We get into why Paulus gave the whole project away to a nonprofit instead of selling it, how the energy dashboard turns your solar and battery into something genuinely useful, and whether a normal person can actually run this or if it's still a power-user thing. So is the open, local smart home finally good enough to replace Alexa and Google? Or is handing your house to Big Tech still the path of least resistance?

    306: Is This Finally a Real Solid State Battery? With Jorge Diaz Scheider

    Matt sat down with Jorge Diaz Schneider, CEO of Ion Storage Systems, to talk about their anode-less, ceramic-based solid-state battery that doesn't swell or need pressure to work. We get into why they're chasing consumer electronics instead of EVs, the new continuous manufacturing line they just fired up, and why so many solid-state startups have over-promised and flamed out. It's an honest look at where this technology really stands in 2026 … and where it's headed.
