Comment So it's really just an tax grab (Score 3, Interesting) 42

"High-volume third-party sellers are defined as vendors who have made 200 or more discrete sales in a 12-month period amounting to $5,000 or more." That's pretty low in terms of sales. I sold two things on ebay last year for more than 5,000 combined. Does that mean I'm now a high-volume third party seller? That is a joke. Even the 200 sales is peanuts. I would expect to see this on places with 10's of 1000s in monthly revenue, not 5K for a year. -2123

While I hate the "think of the children" mentality this one isnt unfair. I also pictured OP or GP with a fairly smallish yard. Not sprawling acre or many more. Personally I like a good clover yard but that can have it's own challenges despite how easy it grows Aesthetics are the one of the dumbest parts of art and in general society have little function so I'd like to see a lot of that go to more efficient means but we still need to remove invasive species that may in fact be much more efficient and get us a 'ideal look' -mobile so formatting may suck. Oh typos too.

Apple Working on Combined TV Box, Speaker to Revive Home Efforts (bloomberg.com) 28

Apple has been a laggard in the smart-home space, but a versatile new device in early development could change that. From a Bloomberg report: The company is working on a product that would combine an Apple TV set-top box with a HomePod speaker and include a camera for video conferencing through a connected TV and other smart-home functions, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing internal matters. The device's other capabilities would include standard Apple TV box functions like watching video and gaming plus smart speaker uses such as playing music and using Apple's Siri digital assistant.

If launched, it would represent Apple's most ambitious smart-home hardware offering to date. The Cupertino, California-based technology giant is also mulling the launch of a high-end speaker with a touch screen to better compete with market leaders Google and Amazon.com, the people said. Such a device would combine an iPad with a HomePod speaker and also include a camera for video chat. Apple has explored connecting the iPad to the speaker with a robotic arm that can move to follow a user around a room, similar to Amazon's latest Echo Show gadget. Development of both Apple products is still in the early stages, and the company could decide to launch neither or change key features. The company often works on new concepts and devices without ultimately shipping them.

I dont think GDPR cares as long as it's in a visible state online. Not sure how phone books are in the EU but since that's typically physical.media GDPR wouldnt apply except back to the company that originally processed and controlled that data assuming on computer somewhere. PI =!= PII
