You've either got a company with experience with locks trying to make a good IoT product, or a company with IoT experience trying to make a good lock.

The issue isn't so much that the intruder can hack the lock, as that the intruder can bypass the smarts of the lock with age-old techniques that had been bred out of traditional lock designs.

At least you can force a burglar to crawl through glass. I've had burglars spend over two minutes exposed while trying to pry open my windows instead of just smashing the glass.

(If you mean windows that go down to your floor, yeah fair enough. Screws are still cheap and easy though)

I saw the concept "heavenbanning" the other day, basically your idea instead of shadowbans.

In a similar situation I decided on a reverse proxy using nginx-- I'd just navigate to http://home/ which silently forwards traffic to http://home.box:8442/

If every human being alive today (~8 billion) had a valid Visa card (14 digits not counting the beginning 4 and the check digit), there would be a 0.008% chance of a collision.

Wasn't Tether the one that was revealed to have only had enough backing for like 3% of its coins a few months ago? Surely that must be drying up now.

I think that in the future, the main thing that will identify a real video from a fake will be the reputation of the publisher. Same as for photos and quotes now.

The ol' LAN-to-houseburning elevation of access.

2 clicks and 1 guess :-) I love that album.

Cool idea, but sadly it's probably a decade too late, since album art isn't as visible nowadays.

You should read up on Anom to get a better idea of what a real FBI honeypot looks like.

Could you realistically get 3.6 billion USD through Monero?

That used to be me until I discovered how many smart devices have the ability to be flashed with open source firmware like Tasmota or ESPHome. Best of both worlds!

I've gone through all of mine after getting into Arduino so now I have the opposite problem-- where do you go to get bulk USB cables?

I don't have an answer to your question, but have you considered scrapping voice control altogether and instead using motion detectors or other rules to govern whether the lights are on?

"5 times more contagious" isn't the same as "5 times as many people will be infected". Given your numbers, the new one is way more than 2.5 times more dangerous.

They're bouncing them off the retroreflectors on the moon though, right? So that doesn't necessarily translate to being able to send messages to anywhere on the hemisphere.

You might find some by searching for files for the Unix fortune utility -- here are some http://fortunes.pbworks.com/w/page/14107116/fortunes

Sure, but in my home, the light is already on.

I agreed with the 'plant timer' mindset up until recently, when I bought some smart lights to hack for a demo at work. Now the idea that someone likes 'actually doing things' where things == 'getting up from the couch to flick a light switch in the other room' seems ridiculous.

If you make smart stuff a purely additive layer over your home rather than replacing existing tech with it, keep it out of the cloud, and have everything responding to predictable rules rather than apps/AI assistants, home automation is really wonderful.

'Silvopasture' might be the term you want.

Worried about missing something important that your competent coworkers could have told you about through a number of different avenues?

Definitely sounds more like (no offense intended) a rat frantically pressing a lever, waiting for one of the presses to yield a piece of cheese.

I felt the same way and ended up graduating to SolveSpace for shapes I felt were too complex for OpenSCAD. After a few hours learning the new process (create planes and then extrude them) and the shortcut keys, I now exclusively use SolveSpace and my designs have never looked better.

You'll probably start to style your search queries in a DDG-friendly way over time. I couldn't describe what that style looks like, but it becomes something you don't even notice (in my experience)

He might have had COVID as well.

> Neither the laboratory findings nor the mask-trial findings have been peer reviewed.

Then why are Nature reporting on them in such conclusive language?

This is great! FYI you've got Summer and Winter swapped on the Australia page, and presumably all other Southern Hemisphere countries.

I lock my doors, and have wooden dowels in the tracks of the windows to keep them from being opened from the outside.

Getting footage of a person breaking in to your home and stealing your valuables seems pretty pointless to me. Unless someone gets murdered during the break-in, the cops won't do anything with it.

All you're doing is advertising that you have valuables worth monitoring.

This is where I first saw the idea: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/silicon-valley-parents-ra...

It's much more likely that Mastodon is just full of the sort of people who get kicked off all the centralised platforms.

If you're happy to overpay a LOT, check out the Sandisk Sansa Clip. They've been discontinued by the manufacturer, sadly.

When mine broke after about 5 years I replaced it with a used iPod Classic, which you can get pretty cheap but doesn't meet your requirements.
