Official moderation is often worse than in community forums, lol. Overbearing in censored words, while not being active enough against abusive players.
That argument is absolute bullshit.
It’s not like anybody demands Microsoft must protect you from mean words if you connect Outlook to some random mail server. Games are no different.
The electric motor capacity also accounts for scenarios like a heavily loaded car going uphill with poor weather conditions.
And because it always can dump full power into the wheels instantly, unlike ICE cars (which are forced to burn an insanely wasteful amount of fuel to compete) that means every EV made for normal use has ridiculous acceleration
It’s mostly a way to improve coordination around code which uses multiple processor cores, so it will improve multitasking performance for some programs
Same with Matter. Home Assistant has a Matter module too. And, Matter is designed to be open!
Matter is more of a higher level IoT coordination protocol.
Zigbee and Zwave are radio protocols (relatively long range, low energy).
The neat thing here is you can bridge a lot of shit into Matter, and then use almost anything you want to control all the different devices. Everything becomes visible in the same control panel regardless of connection type and manufacturer. Everything becomes available for automation tools too!
If you run the software Home Assistant on a computer at home then it can act as your IoT control server, and giving it radio antennas for Zwave and Zigbee will let it act as a bridge to relay commands to devices that use those protocols (like a ton of small lights and sensors and more).
Which may suck for people who needed it for vacation homes, or worse, to help their old parents or something like it
If you want fancy IoT that’s quick to set up, look for Matter devices with full offline support
While the Matter spec requires offline control support, it doesn’t require full OEM independence, so you have to look up the individual devices first to check if they’re independent. The main difference being that some OEMs have a lot of extra features outside the Matter spec and other extras which require an account and device registration, etc, so check that the specific features you want works FULLY offline and with 3rd party apps. (I’ve seen Matter controller devices with screens and whatnot which are only configurable with the OEM app)
You can use Home Assistant with its Matter module (open source) as your home controller, together with necessary radios (specifically Thread/Zigbee), and firewall off your devices if you want full control.
And Home Assistant of course also has support for a little bit of everything, like MQTT and custom HTTP commands and more, so you can still control random devices even if they don’t support Matter
The cake is real but you have to wait for the sequel (the rebuttal paper)
The real study is testing nocebo effects
Well, you could make your own overlay network, maybe make use of cjdns or something like it
Can’t really do that with volunteer nodes only in open networks. Reliable low latency anonymous connections require stable direct links between most nodes. Like you’d need a bunch of big universities to run it.
Correct, and slow is kinda the point (traffic metadata protection through timing obfuscation)
There’s even a setting to set multiple Bote hops (inside I2P which already use multiple hop tunnels) with random delay per node (up to 24h)
Some cats will do this too
I2P has its own internal DHT network. Bote piggybacks on it to relay messages between Bote nodes. You can even configure it so you can address random online nodes and ask them to hold a message for another node to relay (online or offline) to obscure message timing
DHT can be used for almost anything as a generic key value store, even if the typical use is just peer finding
It does temporarily, on the order of hours to days. It’s not designed to use the network for long term storage, just message passing
I2P already did that with their DHT network (remember DHT?). I2P Bote uses that for messaging
Practically anything can go faster than Disc light, which is lazy and tame, unlike ordinary light. The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can’t have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles—kingons, or possibly queons—that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expounded because, at that point, the bar closed.
