Comment Re:Amazon keeps building better Alexa-enabled audi (Score 1) 135

Reasons like this are why I will never have an echo in my house and I've fully commited to the Zwave/Zigbee/OpenHAB setup in my home. I just did a remodel of my house that took about 3 years. While the switches/lights/locks/Garage door openers and sensors and stuff are all installed, I'm still in progress of bringing it all together in OpenHAB, I'm extremely interested in the MyCroft Project, and due to this article just ordered 2 Mark II's... We'll see how everything comes together. I will NOT have my house go stupid if the internet goes down, or try to sell me crap.

I'm using a Panasonic flat plasma 1080p screen from the mid-late 2000s that still looks better and has a higher refresh rate and contrast ratio's than most equivalent LCD/Flat panels produced today. I also have a cheap roku TV and an OK ish 42" LCD flat screen from the mid-late 2010's and they look like crap compared to it. Also the tv with the built in roku just feels slow and old, even though it's the newest of the bunch.

Hrrm I was going to say that DJT was the Gov, he was trying to usurp people right to vote and their representation, but it was the other way around from what he was trying to portray. I mean How long did they have to come up with *any* proof whats-so-ever of their voting fraud claims? How much evidence have they put in front of a Judge? My whole take on the matter is that in DJT's world he's a Winner, but he lost to a Fossil and a Woman. In his mind, it doesn't compute, so there must be fraud.

How DJT and his minons acted is indeed deplorable and shameful and disrespectful, and I agree he should probably be in jail. He acted like a child who couldn't get his way when adults said "No"..

Good for them... This is not an anecdote, my wife works for a boutique IP Law Firm.... A few years back we were at their Christmas Party, and one of the members S.O. turned out to be a minor player in a very small V.C. firm. He openly admitted and bragged that they hire Neuro Psychologists to make their C tier games more addictive, as well as admitting that they target children. Being a father, as well as a decent human being, I wanted to punch him in the face... Alas, I ended up sitting on my hands and settled for not speaking to him for the rest of the night.

Please get Oracle licensing correct... technically it $1000/user per device per core, $10k per 1MB of data transferred, 20k per 1Gig of memory (Available, not used) on device 15k if you sign on even days, 17k if you sign on odd days, support is 60k per year, no adding it later if you need it, you must have it from the beginning. 100K if your mother is a mammal, 500k if the sky is blue.

I'm sure I'm missing some stuff...
