  • Radiowaves are not free real estate. Every country has their own laws on what frequencies you're allowed to use for what.

    2.4ghz frequencies are basically as unregulated as they can get in the US, so that's why wifi used that for the longest time. I'm not sure what devices used 5ghz before, but they took that frequency for wifi. You have to fight for every mhz you can get in radio waves.

    Here's the wiki article talking a bit about this. I've never heard of like 3.6ghz wifi so that's interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi#Operational_principles%3A%7E%3Atext=some+cases+severely.-%2CWaveband%2C-%5Bedit%5D

  • … they already have your emails. Not only that, but just about everything else they could possibly want to know about you.

    Unless you plan on moving to a more private provider I wouldn’t worry about that.

  • They're absolutely not crawling it every time they nee to access the data. That's an incredible waste of processing power on their end as well.

    In the case of code though that does change somewhat often. They'd still need to check if the code has been updated at the bare minimum.

  • They can, they're called smart thermostats. They need to know the outside and inside temp and honestly the easiest way to do that is to just connect them to the internet. Plus they're even better when they know it's going to be cold all day vs cold for half the day, then the sun comes out and is really hot the second half.

  • Must not use a mac. On mac keyboards there's a small delay on the caps lock key where if you're intentionally hitting it it will turn on, but if you unintentionally bump it hitting A or something it typically wont. I'm quick enough that sometimes I'll it won't engage.
