Why exactly would congress legislate this tool out of their toolbox to no benefit? Need to be disincentivized another way.

Check out the Home Assistant [1] documentation and Google 'zigbee vs z-wave' (the two major interoperable standards) and you'll be on the right track I think. Comparing and contrasting will explain the caveats and benefits of

The article talks about how Matter will save everything. What the heck? Don't we already have zigbee and Z-wave that work fine? Why do we need another communications protocol?

I actually had good success calling the office of the spammer in question and complaining to the person answering the phone. A young staffer with political ideals tends to pick up the phone and they empathize. They take my email address and

I think this is a two-party problem? Due to the polarity, people (as a mob) are 'forced' to back their party regardless of how scummy the affiliated actors act. Your regret means nothing because you probably still won't vote

What I do is skip relentlessly through videos (using left/right keys on PC or tap-tap on mobile) and adjust the playback speed to be as fast as can be intelligible, I can get the gist of a 20 minute video in 2-3 minutes this way. Then,

I like really minimal IOT that solves meaningful problems in my life. This way I have more mental capacity to live! My mailbox lets me know when the mail person has deposited materials inside. My garbage cans remind me when they're not

My experience with the Globe seemed to indicate the agents were being graded on how many script points they hit, not on the calls-handled-per-minute. If you think about them as a defense from bleeding subscribers this makes sense. Spending

One way to dodge this and other issues related to depiction of human bodies is to trim the dataset such that humans are not generally recognizable as realistic humans in the output. It is also currently explicitly forbidden by OpenAI to sha

I believe folks are operating in this general type of space, not sure if any are doing phone interface though. I think Truebill offers some kind of Unsubscribe+ for certain compatible services. I am aware of Trim, [1,2] which has an interes

I refer you to my previous comments explaining how I also don't like "share the road" idea. We are on the same page on this. Go complain to your county or city or whichever rather than wishing literal death to your neighbors.

Less upfront cost, more longterm cost. You can make a huge grid of streets and just stop sign all of the intersections and avoid any unpleasant calculations of who should have right of way. This way, for the past 70-80 years or so, develope

These kinds of annoyances are almost always an infrastructure problem, as the Dutch have shown. If you correctly separate modes of transit according to speed on a high enough density of route links, blockages like this are eliminated. It&#x

On the fragility I have had good results with HP elitebook models with aluminum casing. (Not the ones with plastic casing!) These are common in corporate fleets and so are relatively cheap on eBay.
