Thanks for the great explanation!

What benefit does it have instead of getting a dynamic DNS entry and port forwarding on your internet connection?

and even if so, all you will see are my dogs in their crates.

And that you’re not home.

We got to lamps that are named Ed and Fred.

Less and more efficient airplanes. Supersonic aircraft will consume more fuel.

It takes you several seconds to move your arm? I hope you don’t do manual work.

Also did you use the iOS camera app before? You can see how long it takes for the iPhone to take multiple shots for the always-on hdr feature, and it isn’t several seconds.

Great read, thanks! That’s what many people of the „I’ve got nothing to hide“ crowd don’t understand. Now they think it may be relatively irrelevant if this data is collected, but what if we get a new right wing government in the future and you’re - for whatever reason - the target of the oppression? The data doesn’t go away.

Great article/paper on why this isn’t a good idea: https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/1010-C2PAs-Butterfly-Effect.html

I miss dedicated servers.

Yes please. I want my car to work without tracking and software updates.

Yeah, whe learned these standards in school.

I would say that a zero-day for chrome would be far too valuable. Except you’re the target of an entity that has a few millions to spare.

People. What a bunch of bastards.

That’s always a good idea.

The special features are hard to replicate. Hue sync won’t work for example. That’s why I still use the hue hub in addition to a zigbee stick for non-hue lights and switches. But if they want a login I’d rather drop hue sync and just add the lamps to my zigbee stick.

There is no need to reflash them. Thy’re zigbee, you can just connect them to a different hub or to a zigbee dongle.

Because the content their users subscribe to gets copied to the lemmy.world servers. At this moment they host these posts.

The goal is than no one owns anything anymore. Every company is after the sweet sweet recurring revenue.

One less layer of abstraction.
