Tell me why a public company gets to decide which government agencies they sell products to
That isn't what's happening. They're deciding what purposes the software is fit for. They aren't doing anything to actually prevent them doing it — They're not Apple — but they are stating that doing so is a violation of the license and therefore they can wash their hands of the liability.
Usually the purpose of the free tier is to make the site popular enough to be attractive to the paid tiers. I'm not sure how that would work with Spotify though. Who the hell cares what other Spotify users are listing to?
MS still hasn't figured out their own MFA - it's fairly often I see accounts 'protected' by Microsoft Authenticator suddenly have new, mysterious rules re-rerouting inbound mail to various mailbox folders and have a sudden increase in outbound mail flow.
You'd think eastern Europe or China or something but wherever the attackers actually are physically, they usually register in the 365 logs as coming from within the US. I suspect this is to make geoblocking less effective.
I'm guessing it's not terribly difficult to intercept session tokens over insecure WiFi or something, since 'hotel WiFi' seems to be pretty common across incidents.
> That's why I only have two Zigbee devices - the PG&E SmartMeter, and the Rainforest Eagle 3 that connects to it.
Interesting. So far as I know, smart meters where I live broadcast in the clear on 433MHz and can be picked up with a standard SDR dongle.
Sadly, the smart meters have only been deployed randomly and mine isn't one of them (nor anyone near enough for me to pick up), so I couldn't tap that for home energy monitoring. Of course, if I could I'd be complaining that my home energy use was being broadcast in the clear - it seems like a great way for thieves to monitor who might be on vacation.
China shined on WTO rules in nationalistically anticompetitive ways from day one. If you won't stand for it from Apple, why would you support it from China?
A dead patient is no longer a source of revenue.
But their estate still can be.
How sad that you're so incurious.
Depending on where practical concerns require you to put the hub, and depending on what might block or interfere, even a modest house can be large enough to have areas outside the reach of zigbee without carefully placed repeater nodes.
This was gitlab, not github.
They're intelligent social animals. Even just a change in eye contact from me alters my Amazon's behavior. He's incredibly attuned to my posture, tone of voice, mannerisms, etc, to clue in whether he's going to e.g. be getting a treat or scolded for misbehavior or whatnot. I can't imagine that a video without that back-and-forth would stimulate him.
I don't watch TV anymore, but he used to just tune it out. Rather, he'd tune into *me*. He'd laugh at the funny parts of shows and the like, not because he understood the humour, but because he was paying attention to me, and I was laughing, so he wanted to join in. And then I'd react amusedly to his taking part, he'd get attention, and getting attention was in turn a reward to him. They like getting reactions to the things they do. A video won't do that.
And yeah, he understands what screens are - same as mirrors. Some smaller psittacines are known to strongly interact with mirrors as if they're other birds, but in my experience, the larger ones don't do that; they quickly learn it's their reflection and stop caring. As a side note, I actually tried the mirror test with my Amazon twice, but each time I got a null result. You're supposed to put an unusual mark or lightweight object on their head where they can't see it, put them in front of a mirror, and if they interact with the mirror like it's another animal, they don't recognize it's their reflection; while if they use it to try to preen the hidden mark/object, it's a sign of recognition. But my Amazon didn't give a rat's arse. I might as well have put him in front of a wall for all it mattered; he gave the mark zero attention. Didn't care about the reflection of a bird. Didn't care about the mark on his head. Just sat there waiting for me to put him back on his cage
Definitely humans provide care in a way an algorithm cannot. On the other hand, when the summary does get around to mentioning what Kaiser is actually doing, it's monitoring sensors. Computers are pretty damn good at maintaining vigilance in sensor monitoring, in a way people are not. That's why we have fire alarms even though humans can also feel heat and smell smoke.
Nope, that's not the program. Unfortunately the Windows-internal screenshot program is inferior and not suitable to my needs.
Whenever I have to do anything with Google, I create a fresh junk gmail account and forget about it shortly thereafter.
If I have to remember gmail credentials to use something... I find another option that doesn't have that restriction.
That was a lot of ignorant crap spouted out there. Let's sort the shit into different piles and identify it:
1) Virtually all "smart home" devices are not "dependent" on the internet, this one included which will continue to function as a thermostat going forward.
Err... except that it IS dependent on both the Internet and the vendor to be anything more than a dumb thermostat, and those extra features are why it was purchased in the first place.
2) Without an external server manage a session for you your device instantly is not suitable for 99.9% of the population who don't have external routable IPs,
If you don't have a routable IP, you don't have an Internet connection.
3) or any idea how to configure port forwarding on a router,
There are services available to broker the connection between your home server and your mobile device through a secure tunnel. And they're pretty much 'click here' to get up and running. And yes, you pay for that, monthly. And if they shut down, because they're an add-on and not part of either server or client... you can find a replacement service to handle it.
It's really dumb to just make dumb posts on subjects where you clearly don't have a deep enough understanding to discuss them intelligently.
Anything free is worth what you pay for it.
