To watch your dogs a wifi device is OK but if real security is a concern understand that home invasion gangs use ~10W wifi jammers as standard practice now.

Amcrest supports RTSP pull and SFTP push which is handy.

Not really. One glance at a modern (post-mid-1950) curriculum will show you that.

I hope they can still teach students about a strawman argument.

Democracy and freedom isn't free. You have to fight for it every day. The religious right wants to take away my human rights and your human rights, and if you want to carry water for them then be prepared to serve underneath them on day.

Free forum is a free soapbox. I couldn't give two shits about your insufferable opinion of other people's opinions. But I think you already know that, other Slashdotters are certainly communicated a similar sentiment to you before.

Pulling repeated hardware platform switches underneath without bothering customers too much is a thing that only a very competent company could do, and Apple is a very competent company.

Pokemon cards are fun, but the real money is in healthcare. Imagine if I could buy up all the knee surgeries and sell them to millennials in 20 years. (Sorry, I don't accept Pokemon cards as payment)

Criticism of capitalism is communism, and communism is treason.

If I can buy 1.5-2 million of those cheap and set two thirds of them on fire then they become far more rare. That will flush more of the collection onto the market and I will buy those too, and burn them as well.

We're no longer allowed to discuss gender identity or systemic inequality in US schools, so there are worse offenses when it comes to free speech rights. (A right that very few countries recognize)

Take a number, in whatever representation form you wish, let's say it's a typical binary (base-2) representation of a positive integer. Add any value to it infinitely, 1 or billions, I don't care. Every state transition from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 takes a finite amount of energy. And every state takes physical space to store and represent (such as as an electric charge). You now need an infinite amount of energy and infinite amount of space. But don't worry, your machine won't survive that long as it will quickly take more energy to flip the bits than you can concentrate in an area of space. Your counting register turns into plasma even before that.
 

Apple nowadays is bound to avoid any huge missteps, because it has become a very conservative company.

Granted they blew some on the Vision Pro, but not much, for them. They folded on the electric car project, which now seems like a shame as Tesla is vulnerable.

What revolutionary product has Apple launched since Steve Jobs died? It has been 14 years, and I'm still waiting.

Bitcoin does have some small intrinsic value. But it would be around the value of a ticket to the 1933 world's fair. Or an old newspaper with the headline "Dewey Wins".

Communism is not a workable system for more than Dunbar's number of people, and no country on earth uses it.
I really don't think it would work as an economic system, either, for the same reasons.

For groups smaller than Dunbar's number, that also have a charismatic leader, it can work quite well. But when that leader fails or retires, they tend to adopt a different system...or just fall apart.

That's not quite true. Occasionally some people in government do want to reduce the power of the government. For some reason they never end up making the decisions. This is because "power" is an instrumental goal that even an anarchist would desire if they wished to further their belief.

Every one dimensional metric oversimplifies things. But "fascism" is not well defined enough to use as a metric. And "statism" is the wrong term, if you're going to contrast against "individual freedom" the opposite pole should be "authoritarianism". E.g. many small communities traditionally didn't have any central government (i.e. no state), but they insisted on strict conformance to their rules via social pressure. (In that case the "authority" wouldn't be a person, but a set of social rules.)

Gyre is a more official name for the Pacific Garbage patch, as there are presumably few kids in it

Not really IMO, moderation is broken by design at best
