My z-wave temperature sensor works inside my refrigerator. It's a stainless steel refrigerator with no window or icemaker in the door. Not sure how the signal gets out but it works.

But also annoying when your domain is very similar to another business and you keep getting their emails because of typos. My email address at my hosted domain is like jsmith@jsmith.com, and I have a catchall so I can get mail for *@jsmith.

$500K/year to back up a system used by 750,000 people is $0.66/year. Practically free. At least now they see the true cost of not having any off site backups. It's a lot more than $0.66 per user.

My former employer exclusively brought in that kind of talent. But it was so hard to get the visas (and so much uncertainty in whether or not they'd be able to secure a visa for any particular worker) that they opened up a European and

I don't like their product naming -- they use the same name for different product lines. The Domane I was talking about is the SLR carbon series, it ranges from 28.3 lbs for the SLR6 ($9K) to 26.1 lbs for the SLR 9 ($17K) The Domane+

You have to get pretty high in their product range before you hit £360 for a camera. The G3 Instant is probably the closest to a Ring competitor (Wifi, 2K video) and it's £78. The £360 camera is the G5 Pro, which is a 4K camera with 3X
