I think you are looking from the wrong angle. Some court decisions basically said: "based on current Constitution w. amendments, this law fails on constitutional grounds". If change is needed, the people can always amend the Const

Antitrust laws in US rarely works. I have no idea if the problem is bad law or bad enforcement, but the results are bad.

I fully agree with what you wrote. The question is: current laws are fit for purpose? There are many things that are wrong and supported by laws or things that can be improved but existing laws forbid that. Is this a question about net neut

iPhone and submarines have different limitations. Submarines have a depth limit because they are (mostly) empty shells at very high pressure and the hull implodes, which is not the case of iPhones. For iPhones, being submerged for extended

No, full occupation of Ukraine is not an option that NATO will ever accept. With the current state of Russian military and economy, it is a very easy line to draw.

I don't think that is an option of any sort. Wild guess is Putin bet was on Russia getting some territories opening the door for Hungary and Poland to do the same. No idea what is the atmosphere in Slovakia, but the recent surprise in

You don't have to correct everything all the time, especially if it is a sensitive matter. Correcting Covid information 2-3 years ago was a one way ticket to being cancelled everywhere, for example. One needs to accept that being right

I started with HA in a VM and some WiFi devices, added BLU later, never had the need for Zigbee. More than a year later and over 40 devices in 2 locations (with VPN between, using the same HA server), I am more than happy with the results.

Most devices are in the category 3, except for BLU that are currently in 2. I have almost 1 of everything they make and I did set up the BLU ones using 2 with their app, I did not test to see if their app works without Internet, but I doubt
