I mean virtually all garage door openers have the ability to connect a button / key switch via simple contacts. Just use any "WIFI-relay", like the ones sold by Shelly, connect it and there you go. No cloud service or external company necessary.
To see if people will be more devious and evil if the joker is present
They tried to do Jesus, but passengers kept calling security about a hippy boarding the plane.
I mean services like statscounter typically derive their statistics from Javascript run from ad- or tracking-servers. It is somewhat more likely that Linux (or BSD) users have something like noscript or an aggressive ad-blocker installed.
Then of course there is the point that many, if not most, Windows installations never load a webpage from the Internet. There is a huge chunk of people who use Windows for specialized applications without Internet access. It's a legacy platform.
A new study has found that people are more likely to act kind towards others when Batman is present â" and not for the reasons you might assume.
[...]
Psychologists from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Italy conducted experiments on the Milan metro to see who, if anyone, might offer their seat to a pregnant passenger.
The kicker? Sometimes Batman was there â" or at least, another experimenter dressed as him. The researchers were checking if people were more likely to give up their seat in the presence of the caped crusader.
And sure enough, there did seem to be a correlation. In 138 different experiments, somebody offered their seat to an experimenter wearing a hidden prosthetic belly 67.21 percent of the time in the presence of Batman.
That's a lot more often than times the superhero wasn't around â" in those cases, a passenger offered a seat just 37.66 percent of the time.
[...]
"Interestingly, among those who left their spot in the experimental condition, nobody directly associated their gesture with the presence of Batman, and 14 (43.75 percent) reported that they did not see Batman at all."
The article goes on to speculate about what is causing people to be more generous.
I mean criticality is the most basic thing you need to reach in order to have a chance at any sustained fission.... if you have a high enough density of the right materials, it'll happen all by itself. It feels like that's something your "Nuclear Startup" would need to show to investors before you get any money.
... when everybody claimed that Bitcoin somehow offered "anonymity"... despite every transaction being available in an eternal unchangeable blockchain? (and despite the obvious attacks like the ones on bitcoin exchanges)
Looks like there's a new class of exploits, people who are stupid enough to brag about their crypto "money".
Programming languages are used for different applications. So while you probably could write physical simulation software in PHP, a PHP user is way more likely to write some sort of web service.
Essentially most of what the TIOBE index shows is how much different areas of computation show up in search engine results.
and peppered the public with constant lies.
That skill proved useful in his later career.
I mean back when I was still using Windows, I once tried to get it as small as possible by boot-formating a disk and putting in more and more files until it came up. I think I ended up comfortably getting it onto a normal HD 3,5 inch "floppy". It's not that hard. Though I have never actually looked into Windows 7, but I can't imagine it's so much bigger than Windows 3.1.
Well webhosting used to be one of the standard features of ISPs till about the mid 2000s, just like E-Mail. (at least in Germany)
Some newer ISPs no longer provide public IPv4, some still don't provide IPv6. In many areas of the world, you are now behind several layers of NA(P)T.
I mean back when Windows came out, there was virtually no "power save" on PCs. If you wanted to suspend to disk, your BIOS would do that for you. ACPI came out in 1996, well past the prime of Windows.
That's my opinion too.
Unfortunately, after a certain amount of actual progress we are now regressing again.
Yeah, we have a long history of not practicing what we preach.
Remember when the USA took pride in being a melting pot?
It's simple math. Eyes have a limited resolution so you can calculate that easily.
I now have a decent 4K TV and I have to say that HDR provides way more value than the higher resolution.... at least for normal screen sizes and distances.
It's different for computer displays, as a 4k display at, for example 40 or 50 inch, offers way more space.
