This is very bad advice. You should do the opposite of that. Buy Z-Wave devices and use them. They just work. Later, your Hub will add Tread/Matter support and you can do that too, but right now it's not worth the trouble.

True, but it's being wasted anyway. The amount of power dissipated in the daily tides is around 3.75 terawatt, around 3 million times as much. And don't assume this 1.2 MW adds to that total, a good portion of it is simply substit

Other humans however, have lost body parts, so the risk is known. They don't charge $0, but they don't charge very much either.

Wood is nowhere near strong enough for this. Metal is stronger than wood, and even that's not strong enough. Tensile Strength to Weight is the important measure here - but you can't just take a block of wood vs an equal weight blo

Insurance cares more about actual crashes. Of which there have not been a lot. If anything all this attention should reduce insurance costs, since the planes will now be even more reliable than before. Insurance does not care about the ap

Isn't there a rule about modifying inflamatory titles? The article title "Top UN court orders Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza but stops short of ordering cease-fire" is less inflamatory, and will help prevent comments from

They have the original DNA so at least it would be very easy to determine guilt or innocence? If someone is under arrest can they refuse to give a DNA sample? Can cops take some hair left behind?

I'd like to see them run a known person's DNA through their system and see what it does. I'm sure the company has done this already, and they should share the results with the police to give them an idea of how reliable the r

That's a grouping meaningful to Christians themselves, but meaningless to non-Christians, which means it's not a good way for this survey to be grouped. To group things for statistics, pick the grouping level that is meaningful to

You misread the article. They believe in God, they just are not interested in grouping. So basically exactly the opposite of what you said: They specifically do not want to organize.

Why would it get lost? The winds don't put things into orbit, they just mix up the air - if anything they uniformly mix all the gasses keeping even Helium from floating away.

I'm unclear how encrypting the data would help. The same breach that gives access to the data, can also decrypt it. (Also you wrote the same message twice.)

Neon is condensed out of the air, any neon lost is just there in the atmosphere waiting to be re-condensed by someone else. The difference is Neon stays in the atmosphere, while Helium floats to the top and is lost.

The "network" argument is true for collectibles as well. There is a human network of people interested in collectibles. Putting it on a computer is not a material difference.
