<troll>What about Bixby?</troll>
Anyway... fair enough, didn't think of that. Still, the assistants have their own logos, so why not use them? Would make things a bit more obvious, assuming one recognizes the logos.

@TimeBandit I can think of a much cheaper and more enjoyable way to get wood using the internet

@TimeBandit This is so incredibly hipster, I‘m actually amazed.

I think it looks nice, at least in the video. I'm curious how much the screen bleeds through the wood under different lighting connections. Definitively not $500 nice, so there's that. (Not that I'm looking into an AI assistant in any form or shape either way.)

@TimeBandit said in Internet of shit:
Edit: $549
Or $99 for a Google Home HubAt least the risk of splinters means your significant other won't touch the thermostat so frequently...

I can probably make something extremely similar for perhaps $70 I think...

Do you like having strangers watching your home security video feeds? If so, get the Amazon Ring!
At the time the Ukrainian access was provided, the video files were left unencrypted, the source said, because of Ring leadership’s “sense that encryption would make the company less valuable,” owing to the expense of implementing encryption and lost revenue opportunities due to restricted access. The Ukraine team was also provided with a corresponding database that linked each specific video file to corresponding specific Ring customers.
A never-before-published image from an internal Ring document pulls back the veil of the company’s lofty security ambitions: Behind all the computer sophistication was a team of people drawing boxes around strangers, day in and day out, as they struggled to grant some semblance of human judgment to an algorithm.
A second source, with direct knowledge of Ring’s video-tagging efforts, said that the video annotation team watches footage not only from the popular outdoor and doorbell camera models, but from household interiors. The source said that Ring employees at times showed each other videos they were annotating and described some of the things they had witnessed, including people kissing, firing guns, and stealing.

@TimeBandit Yeah, I actually read an article earlier this week mentioning camera-equipped police reconnaissance dogs.

That, at least, makes some sense. Watching Fido sniff Spot's butt, from Fido's first-

Not-so Smart fridge

@TimeBandit The door on my 20-year-old dumb refrigerator closes on its own...so...hooray for progress?

@mott555 said in Internet of shit:

If at least it got a local alarm sound so the dumbass who left it open would know.
No, just ping my phone. I'll drive from work to close it.
Smart indeed

Which is funny because that's exactly why my not-un-dumb fridge does.

Yeah, but sometimes I put stuff in and something is sticking out and the door won't quite close. But it looks like it closed if you don't look carefully, which who does? Pinging the phone is dumb though.

Simple solution: don’t just give the door a push so it’ll fall closed, positively shut it yourself. And/or have less in the fridge so it can always close properly.

My wife would absolutely love to have these for our cats. For that matter, me too. It would be interesting to see how far they roam during the day, and what they do.
-
@Vault_Dweller now that I think of it, it would be kinda awesome to see where my cat has got all these battle scars. He had a new one like every week.
-
@Gąska said in Internet of shit:

There must be another tomcat of very similar size in the area. When the sizes are quite different, the smaller one almost inevitably backs down with just some yowling; they only fight when they can't decide by just looking (or if one of the cats is plain stupid… for a cat).
-
@dkf that much I figured myself. Still, a raw footage of literal cat fight? That's probably something I'd like to watch.

@Gąska You can get it in real time by just watching this forum

Or if the other cat gets too close to home. I’ve got two cats, and there’s one other in the immediate area who’s been here for much longer. As long as he doesn’t come closer than the pavement beyond the front garden, mine just watch him, and he usually walks off semi-nonchalantly after a while, clearly feeling outnumbered if mine are both there. A couple of times, though, I’ve heard noises of cats fighting in the garden to the side of the house, so I think one of mine must have decided that if he’s in the garden, he’s intruding too much.

I once joked to my sister that she needed cameras for her cats, but she figured it would consist of 20-hour periods of sitting on a couch without moving.

By far the most likely option is that there's a queen in heat somewhere near and the toms are fighting over her. At least round here, the rest of the time they're content to stick to staring matches that don't go anywhere.

I kind of doubt it, as I only see three cats around here, two of them mine and the female of those two is not going to be in heat unless the vet messed things up.

If the battery runs out while you're wearing them, don't sweat it. Your shoes will still unlace so you never get stuck.
Oh wow, they thought of everything!
