The days of decent sound built into a TV are from the era of CRT. Maybe not even then. I have never heard flat panel TV speakers that were worth using, regardless of thinness.

There are Zwave (and probably Zigbee) garage door opener devices out there, that require no Internet connectivity whatsoever. I prefer to keep my home devices off WiFi, and off my LAN. I've been using a couple rebranded GoControl units for 15 years and have been able to migrate them when we moved, no messing with the actual door opener required. And no reliance on an external company to keep them working.

With neighbors like those, who needs enemies?

Living in Oregon, I've hoped for Microcenter to expand out here for years, at least since Fry's went belly up. This makes me wish for one even more. The old Incredible Universe-then-Fry's location in Wilsonville is still vacant, Microcenter!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Everyone with blinding headlights gets high beams until they are behind me.

Many times, these ridiculous high temperature lights are more blinding on "low" than normal high beams.

I can't be the only person who can already hear these things because of the whine that their motors put out at low speeds. It isn't loud, but neither is a relatively modern internal combustion powered passenger car at parking lot speed.
