Let's not pretend that the taxi situation was hunkey-dory before big-bad-tech came onto the scene. There's no regulation that says if I call dispatch to request a taxi one has to show up, and "we'll pick you up when we p

Sounds like it's an 802.11 monitor mode packet sniffer, recording probe requests (which have a MAC address associated with them). Connecting to the internet is probably just to hook up to their cloud service. Defeatable by airplane mod

I once stumbled upon what I thought was a car show, but was actually an exhibition of miniature engines (!). Is this a thing? It seems really interesting and I'd love to build a miniature engine with my kids someday.

It just sucks. I get non-deterministic reactions from "turn off the lights" vs "turn off every light" vs "all lights off".. one of those phrases eventually works. I had to set up a custom action ("goodnigh

Small appliance repair is/used to be a thing, remember TV repair shops? Vacuum repair shops I still see around occasionally. Problem is people buy a $25 hamilton beach blender that doesn't make any financial sense to repair but ma

I have kids, my older is 11 and reads almost whenever she can. She loves to read herself to sleep at night. We've taken her to the library since she was a baby where we'd find new baby books to read to her. Over time, we stopped p

What keeps someone from driving across the border to acquire one, or ordering on ebay, or getting one at a sketchy shop? "Some idiot" is exactly the kind of person that would ignore the law. I mean it seems like a fine law, but i

I dunno what qualifies as south ON, but I see 144 houses for sale from $50-300 CAD south of Huntsville. Your point however is (less charitably) put as "I can't purchase a house where I want the house to be, with the specs that I

seems like they should have turned left and tried to go under the middle section there instead of cranking all the way around right. I imagine they were under task saturation with the power outages though.
