See my other post where I am using my Pi and reset my Wemo... Initially I was going the route to reboot the modem through the web interface until I noticed my stupid modem doesn't offer such option in the web interface! Since I had a s

Interesting to see that. It turns out that around a month ago after seeing the Raspberry Pi project that send a tweet to Comcast when internet connection is slow, it gave me the motivation to use my Raspberry Pi 2 to do the following: A- ev

As of the latest iPhone 6, you don't even need to have the iPhone plugged. You trained Siri a few times by saying a few sentences and later you can say "hey Siri" and it will start listening. Apple added some new chip which w

Sorry to hear about the project heading in the wrong direction beside your attempts. As many suggested sooner or later things are going to blow up and you need to either be prepared to face the storm since you are acting as a team lead, or

Most likely the initial prototype was done during an hacktaton... I remember many years back someone that came up with a small TV on a toaster so we could say you can watch Netflix on your toaster, later on that toaster made it into a T-Shi

Amazon Exho/Alexa is doing overall a good job in my house. Yes technicality it can listen to every words we say at home, but until now it didn't bother me much. I found out recently one guy that had the time to get Amazon Alexa SD

Tesseract is quite good and can get some really good results if you can train it. I just wish there was a more UI friendly way for generating the training file; for the project where I had to use it I ended up paying a freelancer with some

The OP title is " Apple now rejecting apps with Pebble Smartwatch support" Sorry but no Apple is not rejecting such apps... It just doesn't want other product name mentioned. And yes Apple is the gatekeeper of the Apple ecos

Oh yes totally agreeing on that... I am not sure how many reviewers they have and some are more lenient whereas others are not... Trying to fight Apple here on simple words is a lost battle, and if they really care about getting their app t

I think SJ because of his cancer started to look closer at that industry... I will not be surprised that Tim Cook because of Steve's passing started to look too in that area and the Watch is just the first small attempt by Apple to ent

I have to admit they did a good job with the new watch, adding color is great and still having the week of battery is huge. I was one of the early supporter for the first Pebble and have zero regret. It did convinced me of how useful a sma
