I love my smart stuff but I've been buying zigbee whenever possible. You can't trust the cloud even from big companies. Google got rid of the API for nest devices without a replacement ready so I went over a year without being unable to control it with home assistant. Alexa got dumber over time to the point telling her "turn on the fan" while in my bedroom turned on the fan in my mother's room but telling it to turn off the fan turned off the fan in my bedroom like it was supposed to.

Looks great so far, finally a good mark down editor. One thing, if you go to comment on a post the cancel button doesn't do anything for me.
Sorry, I forgot using the share menu copies the original link instead of the 12ft.io one in my address bar for some reason.
I wonder if it was the hospitals that put the pixel there. Portals are usually outsourced to software vendors. If so many hospitals did it it might be the vendor's stupid choice.
Make sure the description says the power cable is included. They usually take the kind of power supply older laptops took and when I bought a thin client to run home assistant the price difference between ones without and ones with the adapter was way less than buying the adapter myself.
Yeah I'm an iphone person because I have no interest in side loading or any of that stuff, I just want it to work. I use it with medical devices and because of the fragmentation of android the medical device makers need to test and get approval for each phone model whereas on iOS because everything is the same OS its usually the first to get an app except for my newer insulin pump because they went with a managed android device as their included controller.
If I were to go android I wouldn't touch anything non google, especially after an article a few years ago I read that mentioned some OEM customizations actually adding vulnerabilities.
Who claims that anymore? Ever since covid there's been tons of zero days updates. The only security benefit is not having extremely delayed updates like most android devices.
It depends on the site but there's a few different ways to get around it. For example I didn't even realize business insider had a paywall because somehow my AdBlock removes it. Some websites work with 12ft.io but lots block it now. If it's one of the websites that give a limited amount of free articles open it in private browsing mode. And for others archive links seem to work.
I have an august lock that has auto unlock but the Bluetooth radio is so weak it never unlocks. I usually use Siri on my watch to lock/unlock. Next place hopefully I can get one of those homekey tap to unlock ones.
I hope you didn't pay much for your lock if you can't even lock it with the app, that's a huge deal breaker. I don't remember the last time I used a key.
If you go to a cloudflare hosted site and it thinks you might be a bot if your browser supports it it'll skip the captcha. The point of it is that you don't notice it. Here's a blog article on it from them: https://blog.cloudflare.com/eliminating-captchas-on-iphones-and-macs-using-new-standard/
Preventing finding misinformation and sending to a trusted source sounds good to me. Social media being used as a source is why idiots were eating horse dewormer.
