It seems very easy to badly design a smart home though. For example adding devices to an ecosystem using your personal email. When selling the house you’d have to remove all devices and have the new owners set up everything again one by one. Seems unavoidable until better transfer tools exist OR linking everything to a “house email” OR having everything local and leaving behind the server

If the footage has left your premises and stored on someone else’s machine (the cloud), it’s now out of your control. It could be accessed by an employee, accidentally deleted/tampered, or handed over to a government entity without your knowledge. This applies to any brand of security cameras as well as file storage providers and even VPNs

When motivated enough, governments can and do seize servers from data centers. A lot of the time companies rent them, so these vendors can’t even directly guarantee their physical safety

It appears their “Verified Solutions” program is meant to help make and promote it: https://docs.unity3d.com/2023.1/Documentation/Manual/verifiedsolutions.html

Very happy with my UGREEN. Though it’s my first so I don’t have anything to compare it to

No doctor, no medical records though

They’re a powerless middleman, no?

If I recall correctly they removed all “journalism” references on their website a while back and published their own page of ethics

This is because of excessive early production to curb scalpers. It’s not a fair comparison

Huh. I’ve heard of Risk of Rain before but when Steam recommended it to me I thought it was a JRPG

Not if you want a music player. They’ve added podcasts everywhere possible

Companies, governments, and corporations are all run by people

Seems oversimplified and hyperbolic. The economy will always need people because people are the demand. And because markets are largely unpredictable, supply relies on people making strategic decisions. That will never change. Not everything can be quantified, collected, analyzed, and automated

Well yeah, but who would use a Chinese-based VPN? That’s asking for trouble to begin with

That’s opening Pandora’s box though, since you then become aware of illegal activities and take on a lot of liability

Bad employers eventually face the music

I haven’t heard discussion on this topic, but isn’t it possible for the LLM to interpret that 30k as good, reinforcing its own bad habits?

Nintendo sucks

It’s worth noting these companies try to capture & record every inch of a city before entering the market there. Without these models the vehicles would drive significantly worse. This isn’t really a scalable business model from what I’ve read

People accused MKBHD for “killing” products with his reviews. Both cannot be true

I think it was pretty convenient for the specific use case of discovering an article you want to read later on an e-reader. Or so I hear
