They communicate with anybody? If they do their not Lone...

I will chirp in, pun intended. I use the grocery list the most while having hands full taking things from the fridge. Second setting timers for what I am cooking and alarm clocks. Third is my drive times then weather and music. Looking up fun facts during arguments is fun too. Way more useful around the house than that smart watch would ever be. Voice recognition is superior to Siri . I find the smart interface to to my AnyMote to clumsy at the moment and use the direct connect from my pad or phone more to control my IR devices. But hay that's just software and it can get better. No smart light yet. I am building my own.

Miss the days of the 6502 and Z80 with 8K of 2102 ram. Could heat my sandwich while I wrote assembler code on the card...

Humm, maybe from North Korean Launch? Sling shot from space?

Have not played with one of these but I have several A and B+ being used daily.

  One is my voip system using Nerd Vittles PIAF http://nerdvittles.com/?p=1015...

The other does my weather station

The other does my BBQ controller

Sure there are many more uses.
The new board may save a bit in my new builds will see...

All running quite fine...

So yes they have their place, low power, and reliable, no fan.

Even with this security problems, in a "real" wind farm and not the item in this discussion (which is smaller intended for a home type) you would network all these together and have access only via vpn per farm area.

Still does not excuse the problem of inadequate security, but direct access to internet from a large wind turbine would be a no-no for sure.

No, you do not need automated assembly for smt, or even silk screen solder paste. We do it here daily by hand for space level stuff.
Small air powered dispensers, and a oven is all you need.

I'm sure the savings will be passed on ha ha.
  The average cost of electricity here if you average all the suppliers somewhere around 10.5 cents per kilowatt hour I think it's just another way that using it for collecting taxes here .

How big of a net you could stuff in a shotgun shell, I smell money here ....

Funny, all 4 data points correlate the assumption.

When I was a kid, all we had for visualizations was a milk carton and a candle. All these things you can do from your basement make me sick!

Really nice job though, wish I could hire him lol

The nsa built that huge data center in Utah for nothing?

Now if the nsa would just open an api to retrieve it....

Wjats missing is giving the computersience department at all the schools 50k budget and the origional source code to implement on current hardware. This wpuld be the best use of the funds and save the rest. In fact let each school do a competition and give them a reason to really excel.

As you know being a RV dweller doing this type of stuff you will have to upgrade the wiring size just to deal with current increase, and circuit break box. The only way would be in new homes.

While this would integrate well if using wind power and solar as a supplement to your home, those homes just using AC/DC will see high loss in total conversion requirements.

Unless your talking conversion to like 48VDC throughout house, or something that would just require half wave conversion and then current control on output into a battery bank as both a buffer and filter.
