Bluetooth and the 2.4 GHz ISM band is not electricity and is highly resilient to moderate noise over short distances. Problems are usually caused by hardware related issues.

I would argue all connected cars have become that. If you're buying anything newer than 2015, in all likelihood it's a spyware filled go-kart.

Identifiers..

This seems contradictory. I'll avoid them for now, thanks!

I'm curous about these, how is the privacy on the apps? Having my data mined from my lightbulbs is my last consideration against taking the step tbh

What?

Obviously, more plants are needed to combat the destructive USB industry.

The data in this article is based off info from 2022.

The reduction in price appears to have been significantly underestimated in the article linked.

We're not there yet. To me the obvious would be to explain to them something like browsing the internet is similar to being alone in the world's biggest city and you cannot always be there to protect them whilst online?

I am definitely over simplifying it, but I feel portraying the message that there are good people, bad people and absolutely abhorrent people, is all you can do to protect kids online. Also that everyone takes a big step to the dark side when they are anonymous because for some reason, watching a train crash is more interesting to us that watching one drive past.

I never really thought about controlling screen times for anything other than to make sure kids' heads spend some time in reality, do you feel it is an effective or important tool for protection too?

The paper itself, which is linked in the BBC article, is quite a read too Original Article

I would argue that your perspective is a narrow one and you need to change what info you are consuming. My personal take (if you have any interest):

1. Most of the people on this world are not rich enough to be part of daily traffic jams. They are just trying to survive and enjoy life with what they have.

2. Current resource competition is driven by profit seeking and not bourne out of necessity (i.e. we're not "competing" in the traditional sense, where countries at war are doing so to feed their people etc... At least, not yet.)

3. There is definitely more space and resources available for more people, if we learn to better distribute what we have - the how of this, while keeping everyone happy, is the billion dollar question.

4. You can choose to live in the jungle by yourself if you want, no one is (hopefully) forcing you to take part in working etc.

5. If you can, you should go travel more. If you can't, go volunteer some of your time to your community. It tends to clear my "the world is going to shit" thoughts. Sure, there's problems everywhere, and we should fight for the ones we feel are important, but there is also a lot of great things happening.

I'm sorry, are you saying women's rights were better in the 1700s or wars didn't happen? Or that people had less problems? Or that the ruling class shared power?

I don't mean to offend, but this is an insanely naive view of the world.
