I had to use the environment to destroy the environment. It nearly killed me.

Also an unexpected benefit is that if you can home charge, which I can, you've got the equivalent of a gas station at home so you're pretty much always ready to go anywhere within a pretty reasonable distance.

Me too. It's important to remember that thumbs are critical for tool usage and having thumbs separate humans from most animals so being called a thumb is sort of a compliment.

IP assignment is extremely common, but there are almost always exceptions that you still own the IP if it's your own time, your own equipment, and not directly related to what you do for your employer.

I don't actually use it to control anything, though I have in the past had an automation to turn off the dryer because GE is total crap and the sound on/off button busted, but the sound is super annoying. But anyway yeah, I'm actually only using these outlets for their sensors to decide if the machines are on or off.

FWIW I accomplish this with a zigbee outlet on the washer and dryer (dryer is gas, so it's not a 50a circuit). It has stats on power consumption and I have a home assistant sensor set up so that when it drops below a threshold for a period of time, it counts the washer/dryer as off and notifies me.

I'd take it if it was a reasonable price, like 1k, and if I could just swap it into new phones every time I upgraded.

The problem is, power requirements tend to increase as computation power increases. And no doubt battery tech will improve in those 50 years.

Rage against the garage door opener.

To add to what everyone else is saying, it's often self inflicted via culture. When you're brought up to treat people who look different as not part of your group, that's hard to unlearn as adults and so it just self perpetuates and you end up with groups of people that never interact, sometimes fearing anyone not in "their group" for no other reason. Or even for flawed inaccurate reasons.

Sounds like a real stand-up neighborhood. Shot and bleeding kid asking for your help? Better neutralize the threat before getting help.

It's like the whole neighborhood cosplays as cops/soldiers and thinks everything unfamiliar is a threat.

Ah yes. BIND v1.
