OP mentioned 5 properties and 5 children. Taking your suggested budget as reference today we’re talking close to $1.5-2m just in properties alone. That’s 10-20 times the median wea…

I’m confused, doesn’t your toilet bowl already do that for you? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/12/despite-accessing-us...

No offense but I don’t think you have a clear enough definition in your head and you’re making it up as we go along and you get challenged. >> I'm probably mistaken, but I've alway…

Every definition of a “backdoor” in computing implicitly or explicitly considers it hidden/covert. In the house analogy you don’t see the backdoor when approaching the front. If it…

Obviously I’m interested in the modern equivalent of whatever that man had. If those apartments were on the outskirts of the city, then something equivalent today. If society expec…

You might be right but hard to tell without analyzing costs and benefits. Is a cutting edge model for phone stuff worth the slower performance and battery drain for example? The ra…

At some point it’s got to be good enough for the normal “phone stuff” that appeal to most users. So they wouldn’t suffer from FOMO because they didn’t wait for the next model. Ever…

Is anyone else wondering if this is just a “cover crime” for the ragebait while the real crime was s happening behind the scenes, not getting any attention because this news is cap…

An addendum is don't give money when you're called by a "legitimate contact", call them back first. The scammer is remote so they can pretend to be the "legitimate contact" but not…

For IPv6 networks you're in luck. The hubs are not proxies so the IPv6 enabled IoT device in an IPv6 network can still be blocked at firewall level from accessing the internet. Les…

> Is this an AI response? Probably not but you’re doing a bad job explaining what wanting to de-google your phone has to do with the choice of wireless payment methods. It’s in the…

Exactly! But don’t let the terminology bog you down. There is no market for single purpose (exclusively NAS, exclusively router, etc.) specialized devices outside of enterprise. We…

For business it should be all storage. But for home use the best is all-in-one. A home user doesn’t benefit from specialization of equipment, just brings them more headaches managi…

It’s not super common to stay in one place only 24h when traveling with kids. Other than the luggage, tourists and residents move in an out of the building just the same. People wh…

Didn’t you see how young people don’t bat an eye when modern day series paint black people in powerful/leadership roles in the ‘60s-‘80s, or even just treated somewhat equally rega…

Some people see the movie as the typical Hollywood fiction and in that light you can only judge it in isolation. Good action, solid characters. As the screen adaptation of a work w…
