Love the thorough report. I also have an Ole reliable from circa 2008. Never fails, slow as balls.

Kirsten Dunst, Toni Collette, Shelley Duvall. I don’t recognize top left. Ali Larter? Nice work OP

You know who I’d go after? Gary fucking Gygax. I’ve lost too many friends to D&d.

How exactly did they pull that off? And with walkie-talkies too. There’s no way you can do that with normal RF. The only thing I can figure is they had to intercept the devices and tamper with them in some way.

Oh for sure. Actually the thread mesh network that a lot of matter capable devices use is based on zigbee. It’s like zigbee mesh + ipv6

Apple Home and Google home are matter controllers. So yes. Direct benefit still for those home users is you can mix and match OEM products (like light bulbs) and not need to have a seperate app/acct/hub/bridge/controller whatever for those products. If you don’t want to go the DIY route.

So there are newer protocols under an IoT standard called “matter” that solve a lot of these problems. You can manage them with a local controller like home assistant. No need to create accounts or ship data out to a public cloud. Private, local device adoption and mgmt. I’ve been an early adopter and there have been some challenges but it’s gotten a lot better recently.

So… Not really OC like title suggests… It is more accurate than using old laptop as a music player tho, lol

Can I get those STL files? I’m gonna print one for each of my neighbors

60% of the time, it works every time

Hahaha I also tried this for the wordle today. Glad it’s not just me.

If that opinion was unpopular we wouldn’t talk about Wayland literally everyday
