  They actually have a great product, and they’re canceling it? The new ones were kind of expensive already, but every app supported it and it was very nice

  You’re missing the additional list mentioned later on, also includes Lenovo and some others

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers discover battery-free technology which harvests power from radio and Wi-Fi signals for low-powered devices⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know of companies who have already tested and tried this our years ago, didn’t read the article but doesn’t seam very new to me

  So the very first assertion the article makes is that this creates a giant database of sensitive information (presumably the license plates).

  That’s just straight up not true? How can you write an article about this and make such a basic wrong assertion.

  Any reasonable system would work as such: Scan plate -> is it allowed to be here? -> if noy store violation, if yes don’t send data

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand you may be from a field where supporting software from the 70s is required, however someone is probably paying big bucks for that software as well. Replacing the software you work on might cost millions, replacing a thermostat costs 300 usd.

  I would love to live in a world where software support lasts 70 years. But consumers don’t look at software support, so it’s not budgeted in the price, and thus doesn’t happen in the consumer space. Getting 16 years in a consumer device is long.

  In the field you’re working, stability, longevity, and robustenes is probably a requirement, not a nice to have.

  AA much hate this might be getting, they’re offering discounts on a new product, and 16 years is a hell of a lifetime. Imagine having to support software written in c99 maybe even c89, with some homebrew UI full of bugs.

  So that’s an absolute lie, I run synapse + WhatsApp bridge with 500MiB. Dendrite is supposed to be more efficient

  Consent does indeed have to be given, not assumed. But “legitimate interest” cookies do not need consent

  I drew the arrow one way, just because touw ant to invert the arrow doesn’t mean it’s correct 🤷

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It's definitely backfiring': Seattle ordinance intended to help app delivery workers is 'hurting' them⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats not how economics works, if the cost of a product goes up one way or another, the price goes up, one way or another

  Every car maker did, VW took the blame but the whole industry was lying
