Another exploit was found on the WD MybookLive devices a few years back that allowed all the data to be copied/wiped remotely. I will never buy another WD device with network access.

Is it the flavor of the orange fruit or the flavor of the color orange? n o o n e k n o w s

The smell never goes away

If it was setup properly, you just us an if statement like, "if communication lost to control for t>5 seconds, release balast" or something like that. I had 0 issue with the controller being an ots consumer good. The rest was an idiotic design, I won't even say it was engineered.

I always knew Blackstone was up to something, that's why I bought a camp chef griddle.

Its got some older fiberglass in the attic but it needs to be replaced as well since it is mildly compacted. Trees are in the plan too but that is waiting on the soil to recover a bit and the temps to drop off. Solar is a long term goal for cost and backup power but that may be a next house thing depending on how long we stay here.

I know where the losses are, the house and windows are from 1980 and there is a sunroom on the house that are just huge heat sinks. We are just waiting on funds to correct that stuff. We had some awesome shade trees but they were Ash trees and fell victim to beetles and disease so we had to have them removed so they didn't fall on the house.

We added a radiant barrier when the roof was redone in 2016. The ceiling penetrations were all sealed and all the can lights were replaced with sealed LED fixtures.

The ac is a newer variable speed high efficiency one with new ducting that was installed 3 years ago and other than needing a minor room rebalance made a big different in our electric bill.

Between 14.7 and 15.4c / kwh. Gexa in Texas. My last bill was $285. We have a gas stove, water heater, furnace, and dryer. Our gas bill is about $50/mo. The lowest our electricity goes is about $90 in the winter.

I have been with my wife since 2009 and I have still never been able to convince her to learn how to a drive manual transmission.

Hell, I'm a cishetwhite guy and I feel like they are trying to drive me out too.

Part of it is because our congressional districts are drawn like a bowl of spaghetti. In statewide elections it matters less but congressional districs were specifically drawn to pack and crack votes here.

It would be funnier if there wasn't a sizeable percentage of people who support the cheetoh. There is still a real chance of that demented racist pos winning come november.

I picked up a 5 v a couple months back because nothing else fit in that niche. Its a damn good phone. Only thing missing for me is a removable battery. I'd like a slightly smaller size overally but compared to everything else in the market, its small already.

Thanks to cognitive dissonance they are doing fine.

A lot of them are adding that stuff. I looked earlier today actually.

Basically the only option I have found for a non-connected/smart/spyware tv in the last few months are commercial displays. They must price in the ad revenue to the consumer stuff because the price of those commercial displays is ~4x.

It's how you keep them passive while holding them.

It sounds that way because it is.

Correct. I have already reached out to my former company and I have a stack of paperwork coming to "correct the oversight" it helps that the company didn't know that the patent application had been filed by the client.

For what it is worth. I found out last week I was excluded as a credited inventor on a patent that I worked for 2.5 years on. Industry does this stuff too...
