I'd like to see a team of digital archaeologists find and reassemble the lost Digg pre-4.0 database. Lots of gold lost in that upgrade.

It doesn't have to be crap if it is modular and upgradeable. Executive controller, hardware controllers, sensors and switches need to be serviceable/upgradeable. The paramount feature(or lack of) would be to keep it air gapped. As

Perhaps I can be one data point for you. I install & service EMS systems(automated controls) for big box retail stores. This does not necessarily make me smart, just knowledgable of what can be done w/out a new SaaS mining my lif

For me, I seek certain peppers for the taste & heat is a bonus... especially fresh chiles. A mild habanero, however, I don't know if that would fly. IANANM, but my college roommate was. We roasted+peeled pounds of red & green c
