Yeah, it’s hard not to imagine anything that couldn’t be compromised pretty quickly these days. That being said, is it worth the money to hunt down tens of thousands of small mesh devices? Value plays a big part in this for both sides, I guess. I actually have no idea how plausible any of it is, just fun to dream up

Mesh networks bypassing the internet become a sort of pirate radio of the future?

I support this but I find it fascinating the steam this can build and quick activism with guides and yet I never see any of this stuff when it comes to political policies

You are completely correct and their comments prove it. The bubble is strong here. But it’s a pretty nice bubble

For me, knowing my spouse’s location is just convenient for knowing ETA without bothering her. It’s not really about trust at all

I know there was a more common everyday wine with pretty low alcohol content and not much to any sweetness. Alcohol was a good way to ensure clean drinking water and naturally keeps out a lot of bad bacteria. That’s why drinking wine is way more common in the Bible AFAIK

https://www.amazon.com/ELUTENG-Enclosure-Protocol-Adapter-External/dp/B08H22BV1N There are dozens like this in all sorts of tech stores. Definitely bigger than a usb driver but not THAT much bigger

It seems to be a huge lottery. I’ve only had one or two fail but that was like 2008. Supposedly there is some sort of data rot or failure rate but I’ve never experienced it. Seems highly random

Goddamn that’s so fucking cool

Would your decision change if the ‘negative thing’ was “this product remains the same and just changed its name back”? It feels like a really strong response, is all. Brand recognition goes a long way, too

I’ve been using the OG tradfri devices since 2017/18 and have been very happy. Reliable, cheap to add a lightbulb or switch. Just works. Even integrated with home assistant v easily

Talk is talk. Any press is good press. Getting millions of people to have an opinion of your brand’s name is a win! I don’t think people think changing the name will hurt its premium nature. But getting the nation to meme about it is pretty fucking solid. Can you do it every year? No. But I don’t think a brand reset is all that dramatic

Yeah, idk. 2005 internet sucked in a lot of ways too. Nostalgia doing a lot of work here

Somehow the idea of a raccoon is scarier to me and always causes me to wake up and start growling like some prehistoric dingus

I just want to add that I got a cheap string of LED red lights that just power off a USB power bank. Red light lets you see in the dark while not ruining your night vision! I create a huge circle around me because somehow that makes me feel safe when I’m sitting at a fire.

Wow. It certainly passes the test for first viewing. I fell for it until I read this comment and cannot unsee it now. Good reminder how fast propaganda of any subject can propagate, I guess

Bro, you may just hate your new job or the people there?

How? Where?

Can the journalists please headline home as “American”, not leading off with a place he lived over half a century ago?

What the actual Batman fuckery is this. I hope you are wrong or nobody is that motivated to do such things. Either way, scary! Where’s my tin foil hat?
