Does a DoS attack count as prevention?

Shannon-Hartley's theory-- Capacity Limit: As noise approaches infinity relative to signal, capacity approaches zero, meaning reliable communication becomes impossible without increasing power.

So, DoS attacks effectively prevent communication.

Is AI slop a DoS attack? It sure as heck feels that way...

One of the other products in this vein that works well is Konnected's "Blaq"

With RATGDO (or the one or two other things that do the same thing), you can:
- View status of door
- Open/Close door (this includes positioning it to some position, like 5% up, or 50%, etc)
- 'Lock/Unlock' the RF side. RF stuff is relatively insecure, so being able to 'lock' it is helpful

And you can do all of this without cloud, without paying subscriptions, and without worrying about the vendor going "poof" (open source is cool that way) and leaving you stranded, and without requiring an app (the device serves a basic webpage that you can access from your LAN (or IoT lan)).

You can use it with (local!) home automation like Home Assistant too.,

You can always choose to go live in some other successful society where no one has any requirement to pay for the common good.
Admittedly I'm unaware of any such, and they may not exist, because the game-theory of such a society causes it to collapse rather quickly.
