@LaoC Doesn't Osram mean literally "shit" in some language?
Everything means something stupid in some language nobody cares about.
Osram is a portmanteau of "Osmium" and "Wolfram", i.e. tungsten, the elements used for filaments in light bulbs.

No no, it was returning to the Nest (camera).

I'm too to read the study and see if anything is different, but the technique isn't new:

Possibly an IoS success story:
http://archive.is/zQbDqKinsa’s thermometers upload the user’s temperature readings to a centralized database; the data enable the company to track fevers across the United States.
...
The company normally uses that data to track the spread of influenza. Since 2018, when it had more than 500,000 thermometers distributed, its predictions have routinely been two to three weeks ahead of those of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which gathers flu data on patient symptoms from doctors’ offices and hospitals.
...
Hospitalizations occur several days after symptoms like fever appear. “The cases being counted now had fevers five to 10 days ago,” she said.

The researchers said the toilet identifies users by reading their fingerprints from the flush lever, but it also uses cameras to identify them by another part of the body.

One or two hamsters are doing all the work, while IT monkeys have set up a complicated and expensive to run and maintain system just to have pretty (and fairly meaningless) reports for the management. The data has now leaked to the public

@Zerosquare Why is there a water filter in a fridge in the first place? What’s it do there? The device is a cupboard to keep things cool in, all it does is pump coolant around in a completely closed system where — hopefully — no water is involved at all.
Oh, wait, Murican fridges with their ice makers, I suppose?
-
@Gurth Most medium-to-high end American refrigerators dispense cold drinking water in addition to having an automatic ice maker.
-
@GuyWhoKilledBear ... and the really high-end ones have a cold drinking water dispenser with DRM?

You wouldn't want for you cold water to break copyright, now would you?
-
@cvi said in Internet of shit:

Of course. Just imagine a burglar in your house who wants to drink a droplet of water: how can he digitally prove that he has a right to drink your water? He can't, hence he'll fail.
See: very useful thing. At least, your cold drinking water is safe from such illegal access!

Yes. And I, for one, think it's an amazing idea. I've been using filter jugs for years and can't imagine living without one now - and water cooler in fridge is the same thing but even better, because the water is always cold and you don't have to remember to refill it. The ice dispenser is just a nice bonus.

True. That's a point in favour of the commercial water streaming services.

Pirated water sometimes comes with hardcoded Hungarian subtitles

How do you say "*dribble* *dribble* *dribble*" in Hungarian?

We don't need that here

@TimeBandit You need water makers connected to your ice supply.

20° vs. 2°? Yeah.

How cold? Especially in the summer. Mine is decently cold in the winter but not in the warmer months.

Yes. By warm, I mean 15 degrees and above.

Teeth-hurting-cold, all year round.

Required to be 8°–12° by a norm. And it generally tends to be—if you have some stale in pipes inside your house you have to draw it out first, but once you get fresh from the main line, it is cool enough all year round.
-
@Bulb I don't know what that converts to in normal numbers but it seems physically impossible without outlandish refrigeration expenses here.
-
@boomzilla What is your year-average temperature (also known as temperature inside nearest cave, good cellar shouldn't differ by more than maybe 2°C)? Ours is nowhere more than ~10°C, and with properly built water supply it can have that all year around. Surface reservoirs can actually get even bit lower.
-
@Bulb water gets stored locally in tanks up on stilts, basically. Like...100 feet in the air? I don't know exactly how long it's there. I believe most of our water comes from lakes and rivers, so it's not trial underground either.

I thought that wasn't so much for storage - rather it's for creating pressure. (cause for a town, that's like 5min of water!)

@dcon yeah. Like I said, I'm not sure. Still, even the ground isn't that cool outside of late fall or early spring
