Comment Localized traffic information is on AM stations (Score 1) 262

I use AM when Iâ(TM)m driving in the mountains and see a traffic information sign. I can hit the button on my stereo to go to AM and find the right frequency (they are usually one of three) and instantly get road conditions.

Trying to duplicate that over the internet is not likely to be possible or reliable.

Comment I few overseas in the 1980s (Score 1) 182

I learned that the same planes in other markets have smaller seats than we do.

The MD80 in the US was configured with two seats, aisle, three seats. Thai Airways Domestic flew those same planes configured three seats, aisle, three seats.

I was already over six feet tall but in high school I was under 190 pounds so could fit in the narrow seat for the short flight.

Comment Kasa smart plugs lock up. (Score 1) 56

I wrote a program to monitor energy usage on TP Link Kasa smart plugs. It ran for a while and then the smart plugs would lock up, and even the physical buttons on the plugs wouldnâ(TM)t change their state.

I didnâ(TM)t investigate if I might be able to gain access to the devices, but Iâ(TM)m assuming TP-Link doesnâ(TM)t care about updating the devices since their app hasnâ(TM)t offered me updates.
