It's a shame because it's an excellent product, I really wish 1P understood this. Their removal of the cloud sync feature and insistence on moving to a subscription-based model is infuriating and drove me away from them. I want to be in control of where my vault is synced to and the only way of doing that is by staying stuck with the older 1Password 7.

Interesting! I have the same TV and never see ads (I'm on the latest WebOS update). My Pi-Hole actually blocks everything and the only times when I see ads are when I disable the blocking to be able to access the app store.

Edit: To clarify, ads served on the WebOS interface. YouTube ads are still there.

1Password. They've taken a fantastic password manager and are slowly moving it to a subscription-based product. They're slapping in the face the very users that helped them get to where they are and are removing local vault syncing with the new 1Password 8. Now I'm faced with the choice to not continue updating the apps (which, if I do so in iOS, I'm screwed because I won't be able to downgrade it) or to start using a new password syncing solution.

Thank you but no thank you. As it receives OS/app updates it'll inevitably lead to the monitor slowing down to do a basic function like displaying the image coming from the computer. This "smartifying" of everything is getting very frustrating, it happened to TVs and now monitors are next.

I would gladly pay the $3/month if they were doing what you mentioned in addition to adding features. One of the problems with their new subscription model is that they're replacing existing support for password syncing with a forced adoption of syncing to their cloud. Syncing to Dropbox (or others) is going to be removed with 1Password 8 and we'll be forced to either keep the old license of 1P7 and lose out on security updates, or, to start paying a subscription and accept that they manage the syncing instead. For many that's not acceptable, and it's a bit of a slap in the face for all the supporters they've had for years now who have been promoting their product through word of mouth.

I really enjoyed reading this, thanks for posting. I've been struggling to find a more sustainable solution on my end for all the sensors and buttons I have set up. Anecdotally I feel their battery life tends to be shorter based on whether they're in busy locations or not. I've ordered the CR2477 and CR2450 batteries they use in bigger quantities but I'd much rather be able to recharge them instead. Have you ever found devices of this type that allow them to be recharged?

Unfortunately yes. You'll still be able to use your license but once that version becomes incompatible with your OS you won't have a choice but to upgrade. I'm disappointed I won't be able to keep the Dropbox sync in 1Password 8. They did have this survey to gauge interest in self hosting it: https://survey.1password.com/self-host/

The lights in my office come on when I walk in if it's dark, and when I unlock my computer it shoots a message out over a MQTT broker which my automation takes as "someone is occupying this space now" and leaves them on. When I lock my computer, two minutes later if no motion is sensed it'll turn them off.

What did you do to send the message when the computer locks/unlocks? This is an exact use case I could make use of

I wasn't able to find a cloud-less home automation solution. Ended up going the semi-DIY route and installed Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi. It's not plug and play, but it beats having to rely on some cloud solution that'll disappear whenever the manufacturer feels like it.

Been using 1P since version 4 or so and syncing with Dropbox. It works really well and I'm quite satisfied with how quickly they resolve issues (especially security related ones)

I recently started playing around with Node for a friend's side project. I helped him set up the database and Sequelize was absolutely horrible to get up and running. The documentation was really lacking and we spent hours trying to track down little details needed to get things running. It does the job once you have it set up, but I found getting to that point was way more difficult that it should have been.
