Just FYI you don’t need a special router to block ads on the DNS level, you just need to point the DNS settings in your current router to a server that does filtering. Theres a couple of public ones set up to do that for you but you can also point them to a LAN IP and roll your own DNS server (like Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home)
Honestly, it varies. Businesses are starting to get wise to DNS adblockers, and are serving more ads from their primary domain (this is part of why you can’t block YouTube ads with a DNS blocker anymore - you can’t block them at the DNS level without blocking all of YouTube).
You’ll see a noticeable downtick in phone ads from web browsing and ad-sponsored games, but something like a TV or fridge will probably be unaffected because the ads will be served directly from the same host as the content. You’ll see fewer ads but far from zero.
Also why are you connecting your smart fridge to a travel router? Do you travel with a smart fridge?
No, it’s a shit diplomacy joke.
Pepperage Farm remembers when Wikipedia was mass transitioning citations to archive sites because the original sites couldn’t be trusted to retain the information over time.
Oh how the turn tables.
Today I learned @midnight got rebooted on CBS. No wonder it didn’t last though, 200 episodes and only 1 Ron Funches appearance according to IMDb? Shame on you CBS.
Thanks for the reminder, I’ve subscribed to their cloud service since day 1. Time to actually use that backup feature.
I’m with you - I’d pay extra for a phone that doesn’t take calls just so I can force everyone to just send it as a text.
They’re all generally fine. WiFi thermostats open up more security holes than the others because they are designed to be chatty. I have an ecobee WiFi thermostat that’s isolated to only talking to HA locally using the HomeKit integration, which is fine, but I can’t say I’d recommend it.
When I set up my thermostat the ZigBee/Z-Wave options were quite frankly ugly and had limited wiring compatibility. Nowadays there’s a bunch more options on the market - you should be fine finding what you need anywhere.
ZigBee/Z-Wave/Thread are all pretty comparable, so I’d go with whatever you already have on your network - me personally I’m all in on ZigBee right now so I’d probably get one of those.
If you’re undecided, HA newest official hardware supports ZigBee & Thread so I’d go with one of those.
It may not be “speaking” but it is communicating (relatively) complex concepts.
Dogs with buttons can associate them with people, actions, locations, and emotions, and use those buttons to express those connections, which is by definition communication.
Any dog owner knows they also communicate these things non-verbally by nosing at their leash, pawing at the door, wagging their tail, or dropping a ball in your lap.
What’s extra interesting about the dogs with buttons is they will sometimes clearly and communicate emotional ideas without expectation of reward, like FIDO, HAPPY or MOM, GOOD before just laying down to mind their own business.
Sure, they dont understand the context of the Latin root of the word your saying, and they can’t read Shakespeare, but they can still communicate ideas, and respond to your actions, like someone learning Chinese for the first time and only picking up every 12th word and relying on context clues.
Their capacity for vocabulary isn’t infinite, but it’s clearly there.
If the buttons didn’t make any sounds at all he could develop the same associations.
By that logic would you say deaf people communicating in sign language are not speaking?
How about Stephen Hawking? You could swap all of the buttons on his computer with Japanese, or a series of beeps and he would eventually figure out how to get the same message across, does that invalidate him using English as his main language of communication?
If people moved to Linux
When users connect to their organization’s WiFi…
You think my employer would let me use Linux? Creeping on employees is how management feels important.
I wouldn’t use Teams personally unless under extreme duress. Unfortunately professionally it is the norm.
But then how do I get to shout about the two Democrats who I dont like?
Did the article link change? Why are there comments about Hegseth when this article is completely unrelated to any DOD bullshit? Are the bots loose on anything mentioning OpenAI?
Not in your lifetime, Joe, unfortunately.
Just one more new plant protein bro, then I’ll switch. For real this time bro, just one more fake meat, it’s the only thing preventing me from going vegan bro. Trust me.
Something something denuvo. I’ll check it out when they ditch the spyware.
Not defending this human dumpster, but looking at the clip there appears to be a red hat at every single seat, seems like they came in the gift bag, he just happened to be the only one dumb enough to put it on.
Good note! I’ll start digging into firmware posts! The tricky thing here is the commands seem to be echoes of a script that hasn’t run in 11 months.
Here’s the problem, I keep a jar of poisonous gas triggered by a randomly decaying radioactive atom in my bathroom, so all of my wasps are in superposition.
Am I going insane or is there nowhere in the article where they mention which 6 dash cams have no security concerns?
