Philips Hue is older I think and doesn't have this insanity. The bulbs have a serial number on them, you just input that serial into the app synced with a new bridge.

They've done a redesign of the UI with this version. I'd say it's a bit easier to grasp for someone new.

My wish is to have the equivalent of Google home hub running locally. Really my only use cases are: * glancing at the screen to see the weather * Asking it to turn on or off or change colour of Hue lights * Timers for cooking I've sinc

It's the "app-like" experience that everyone is chasing. Loading a new page feels like browsing the internet. Single Page apps feel like a native app on your phone. At least that's what I think the reasoning behind the d

It's your right to choose to browse the internet without JavaScript enabled. If a website doesn't run then it's upto you to either accept that you won't see their content or enable JS. People who complain about sites not

Do you actually think that you're being intelligent by saying this? In reality immigrants separated into ghettos of affordable housing because they are generally poorer and don't have the means to get a roof over their head. The v

So let's say that council housing blocks were demolished and the land sold to a private developer to make profit off building some regenerations scheme with fewer homes but more luxury ones. The people that lived there before gets thei

So I know in London any new housing development has to allocate part of the properties for shared ownership or social housing, To be able to get planning approval. Seems very reasonable because property developers make a lot of money selli

He needs to weigh the risk versus the cost of a new phone. There is a custom firmware card LineageOS but it's a community effort. It may get up to date security updates merged in but it could be vulnerable in other ways.

I've used two primarily: Alpine MusicSafe Pro Etymotic Research ER20 I'd say both are comparable. Though the Alpines come with three filters allowing you to select the level of attenuation. The Etymotics are bit longer so stick ou

Everyone should be using musician style earplugs at concerts. They're designed to as best uniformly attenuate the volume to safe levels. And in my opinion, a good pair always makes the music sound better. And I never leave with ringing

I don't understand why they have to be so loud. I recently bought a Miele vacuum cleaner, and compared to other cheap vacuums I've had before. It's significantly quieter whilst still having effective suction. Is it cost cutti

That's really cool. I'm curious, would it be possible to use a modern GPU (running at 1x) on an ARM based board? Would the open source drivers that are part of the Kernel work out the box on ARM?

I've noticed that the Intel software update scan tool is a web page now, I presume it is a client side application that communicates with a local web server. But I could be wrong.

The lack of trust I mentioned was about ISP provided DNS servers. You don't own your WAN network and the majority of people use the DNS provided by their ISP. On your own network, if you feel like doing a DNS lookup to what amounts to

Then DNS protocol is old and needs to be updated. Security considerations need to be forward looking rather than clinging to the past. DNS is unencrypted and a security risk. For the user. It's an old technology that needs to be update

Well that's a nice statement and all. But what is the incentive for a company to pay their CEO less? Perhaps explore why CEO pay is high to begin with. It's all well and good to say "this is bad" but it's more usefu

They're built the same way with interchangable components. But device manufacturers at large scale get multiple suppliers to supply their components. As long as it meets specification it can be used.

Ah yes. That makes perfect sense. I think there's a lot of public art in America that seems to lionise slave owners but I posted too soon.

I think Google's utility took a huge drop when they removed the discussions filter. I think their goal was to centralise internet discussion into Google+ but Reddit took it instead.

Of course. Like I can say that if my call records leaked out it would be boring but of course not everyone is in the same position.
