…not quite sure where the hostility is coming from.

The question OP asked is what is likely to vanish in 10 years, and I described the already forced-digitization of household appliances and took it one step further to depict Appliances-as-a-Service, based on the model the printer industry is already rolling out.

How his offends anyone, is a little beyond me. Maybe I should have added quotes?

Yup. Worse still, I can see this extending to other appliances. Haven’t paid your monthly washing machine service fee? Our partnership with the only water company in your area authorizes us to shut off your water.

Manual appliances. You can open the fridge, but only if you pay your monthly subscription fee to keep it restocked.

We work hand-in-hand with retailers to make online shopping the default, whilst making the UI only accessible to AI bots, so if you want a stocked fridge; pay your fees.

self-inflicted, if they played nice we would all be printing from home.

upside is less paper waste

WKUK are always good, and the current guy on their channel is pushing very apt sketches in our current world crisis

Thanks for checking IMDB, I didn’t think to look there! I wonder if they have a wiki of sorts with this info

Very well said. This guy needs a new label with some balls. Show them that this guy is bankable by a wider disgruntled public than by a few at the top who are playing theatrical chess.

I used to use RedNotebook[0] wayback when, but have since switched to Emacs and am therefore now an insufferable org-mode/roam user.

If it’s not normal to wake up in the middle of night with palpatations and existential dread caused by an overload of caffeine/sugar/terrible world, then I don’t know what normal is

Tell that to these guys:

https://github.com/uavpal/beboptwo4g/wiki/faq#latency

Typically for direct connections (see this FAQ entry), the latency is around 50 ms. The pre- and post-processing of the live video stream is more than that, which you will also experience when flying in the original set-up (over Wi-Fi).

For more staged setups, there’s always MAVproxy

You can fly the drone without a license in secret, and the law only requires that you scribble the ID somewhere on the craft – something you do not need to do if flying for clandestine purposes.

Not all drone’s fly via radio, many use direct WiFi connections which can be completely spoofed over 3G proxies so that the drone and operator aren’t in direct contact with one another

who control the air?
