Assuming we want li-ion for grid storage. I feel we don't have a choice but hardly optimal. The worst case is an unbalanced grid that leads to blackouts and/or disruptions. Not that we waste energy.

Not to talk about all the batteries we burn out from it or the billions of devices that is replaced solely because we run so utterly inefficient software.

We have needed solar for decades. And thus solar has been coming for decades. How long after we have an abundance of solar can we wait for good storage? How many decades can we wait for that to ramp up? (we didn't exactly start our sol

... yes, but they are decoupled from the actual browser. Which makes all the difference. My 10 year old android phone still runs the latest versions of both Chrome and Firefox. Androids WebView being on the play store even allows that par

FYI that is exactly what Microsoft proclaimed back in the day. Doesn't sound better today does it? At least on Windows they didn't prevent you from installing a different browser.

This is about the browser, not the OS. The unique thing about apple is that they tie the browser to the OS. So you won't even get application updates, which is quite surprising for anyone that has ever touched a computer. That is some

What are the fundamental design flaws of XL? I haven't looked into it in detail but the design appears from a glance to be really good. If you ignore the cost, which is really hard to do in this case. But that is also somewhat justifie

That was a bit unclear by me. Zigbee relies solely on noone being able to MITM the pairing process, where the security lies in the short window of opportunity and short range. But Matter (and thus the Thread devices we talk about here) has

by tjoff 3y ago
That's an issue with the hue bridge though (and maybe homekit). There certainly are issues with the zigbee devices, but that is not it.

Pairing it to the controller, yes. Not the border router. The controller could talk to the border router if needed but that should be it.

Isn't that what the Matter QR codes are for? Which I thought were mandatory for all Matter products? I guess a loophole might be to make the border router matter compatible but none of the actual devices. At which point you really shou

From an systems perspective they are the same thing. Zigbee vs. Thread is just transport. The protocol on top of that is what matters and the sole purpose (from my narrow perspective) of Thread+Matter was that this would be a team effort to

> The biggest blocker is that thread border routers have no vendor interoperability (you have to buy a bridge for every vendor) Why? They all work ~fine on zigbee which is pretty much the exact same thing just with even less oversight.

Funny, but obviously any accidents caused by the self-driving. In other cases it is covered by regular insurance by the faulting party.

Big whoop. Consent is paramount and the assumption here that apple and you have aligned interest is pretty darn weak argument. The only thing of note here is that apple don't want you do know about it, which kind of circles back to ali

It is refreshing to see the author explain how and why all the pieces were gathered. Most guides/instructions/bug-reports only lists the end result, omitting information that helps the reader to get a better understanding and be b

Your detective powers have revealed my inner secret. I don't like big cars... Because they care bad for the environment. Because they take up a lot of space. Because they are unsafe, especially for others. Tire and road particles are q

Yes, but it is still a serious problem. Tesla Model Y is a huge vehicle.

Heavy cars contribute produce more road and tire particles.

Yes the whole point was how you'd have to deal with the emojis. I feel it is implied that the latency is low enough (a few 100s of ms) to not impede the conversation, and that the parties have talked before and would notice if the tone

The man in the middle would need to spoof the voice (with current microphone+environment etc.) in ~real time, probably both parties as well. And with the awareness to detect which words to replace in the middle of a normal conversation. Wit

Judgement? Having attention for detail? Being in touch with the community? Just a bad look / first impression.

Well, if it was a proposal of the OpenSSH people you'd bet it would get a lot of testing from others real quick. But to even consider calling it SSH3 is really quite silly, first impression doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

This can be completely automated though. Noone has to watch any footage unless the system feels like something is wrong with it. And that could be in conjunction with the involved party.

It would be to much to have an additional build step and Python dependency for a file that never changes, but not too much to add cog and python as dependencies and then slow down the build for all users?

I'll need to read up on this, but one potential misuse of this is to just always/often set that bit on traffic you want to suppress. Which feels much easier and much less heavy-handed than what you can to today. Which technically
