So is this another zwave or zigbee alternative?

Kind of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(network_protocol)

I do not think so.

 

The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will have built-in Thread radio, so they can directly communicate with smart home devices. Old iPhones could probably be used as a smart home hub.

I think this the most interesting update of the event.

I can hardly find a company that supports their product and their backward compatibility longer than ms. Just recently read that wordpad had an alias "writer" (or similar) because this was its name before decades ago and there could be apps/scripts relying using this nsme.

Well... this is not cool. On the other hand, it was clearly an experimental product. Do not think people purchased it expected a mainstream like support.

I use liftoff and in it the "about community" page is very fast reachable. So, your statement about mobile apps looks like ocer-generalization.

Regarding your questing, I assume that this is because the community is about all opensource software, not nessesarly free.

If it is a good and new enough Nas, synology photos can do people and object recognition. Mine can only recognize people :(

some are, some are not, but they happen.

my point was, there are some cases where human drivers act better (yet), but there are a lot of other cases where they act worse (for many different reasons). And if a single indirectly lethal case means that "Those damn things are not ready to be used on public roads.", then human drivers are not ready either - they are responsible for much more lethal cases (per whatever unit you count).

I think that taxi for AV is selected not because this is the most painful area which must be improved (in that case I agree apple to apple comparison would be needed), but because it is a small well controlled area which is relatively easy to start and implement an improvement feedback loop.

Are you talking about AVs or about humandrivers, which drive drunk, been overtired, after a bad night, emotionally, texting during driving etc?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I disagree that human drivers in general act more responsible than AV. And for exactly this use case as well, I read too many stories about emergency cars stuck in traffic causing death of someone.

The only country where emergency corridor works well is Germany, afaik.

I have not seen this app mentioned here, but I find it really good. catima is foss discount and similar cards manager. Basically FOSS version of stocard.

It has no wearos app, but has some cool features as well. For me the main selling points were:

  1. design is clean and is not filled with promotions and co
  2. it does not require you to create a web account (and upload all cards there) just to move your data to a new phone like stocards does.

"If someone was using Jitsi, it was specifically to not use a login with any of those providers" this sounds like the only reason to use jitsi is avoid big guys, and if you cannot avoid them jitsi makes no sense - i.e. "no big guys" is the only feature worth it.

Btw, "login via Google" and use "Google meet" are significantly different cases from privacy point of view.

I use both. Keep is way faster to create simple notes. Additionally, it has web gui, and nice features like voice notes and text extraction. BTW, Obsidian requires a subscription if used for topics related to you work.
