    I’ve wondered if they don’t know the data. They can perfectly read the convo on your device, assign a category what you’re talking about and keeping that category. They don’t store, read, know the conversation, they only ‘analyze’ it. F.e. if you talk about planes they may assign a category travel and sell your profile to holiday companies?

    I don’t know about this, I’m just thinking that’s how I’d do it if I ran an evil corp.







  • I’m not an expert, but if I look around, I see lots of DIYers who use ZigBee and things like that. But professionals use for example KNX. As far as I know KNX is all local, wired and so on; but a multitude more expensive. I guess there are other protocols.

    So if money isn’t an issue and I had a new home, I would research KNX first, and eventually add some ZigBee gear.

    Also, go for the basics: smart heating, smart switches and smart outlets. That allows the best automations. Maybe add some wires to your doors for openclose detection, power for smart blinds and so on.



  • That’s a simplistic take. There’s a saying that goes something like if you don’t read up, the Jewish are within their rights. If you read a bit, the Muslims are within their rights. If you study the issue you have no idea anymore.

    I believe at this point everything in the media is a spin on the truth; for both sides.

    How I see it, is that the ones with the money and technology have a better probability to stop the cycle. The ones with their backs against the wall have little options. Violence seldom leads to less violence.






  • Thank you for the motherboard advice. I was under the assumption that it’s something you buy once good and it shouldn’t change.

    I should look into steamdeck. I know nothing about it 😅 Price wise it seems interesting, but that makes me doubt about specs. I’ll review some sites and YouTube’s to get a good idea of what it can do.

    Thanx
