I understand the SaaS model (after all, if my house burns down, I don't want the inventory to burn down with it), but this is an advertiser's (and a burglar's !!) wet dream. Any current commitments to safeguarding my privacy

I was under the impression that the neutron flux would be very low, and those neutrons would not be likely to activate any material due to their energy - I stand corrected, thank you.

That's indeed the case, but it also avoids the neutron embrittlement of the reactor building, it avoids a lot of the costly maintenances associated with it (replace strut X every 1.5 years of operation), and said maintenances would als

The boundary wire was not a matter of minutes for me - far from it, more like half a day - but that's because I wanted to bury it out of sight. I guess they still rely on boundary wire because it's very reliable - you don't w

OP was clearly specific: EXEC salaries, not engineers and developers. And I'm not sure I would want their current execs there even if they indeed worked for free, not to mention at their absurdly high, grossly underserved salaries whil

This should not be a concern (the danger due to pets, not the terrible UI, which is, indeed, terrible): All modern induction cooktops will not actually engage unless they "feel" a metallic mass which reacts to the magnetic field.
