Relatedly, I’d like a similar article regarding the gas network. Folks rely on gas for heating and cooking. As, generally the more well off, migrate to heat pumps and induction hobs there will be fewer users of the gas network. At some point the whole thing becomes economically unviable, leaving those less well off trapped in spiralling costs.

My friend group enjoyed Splitgate 1 but we just bounced off Splitgate 2. It just wasn’t fun. Portals seemed to be an afterthought, rather than fundamental to the gameplay. Also the maps we played seemed to be tighter and less arena based.

Still not sure why they decided to do ‘2’ rather than continuing to iterate on the first one really.

It’s a cut and paste of all the other letters. I’ve seen more effort put into bulk job applications.

Thread is a network layer thing, comparable to WiFi or Bluetooth. Matter is an application later thing, comparable to HomeKit or Google home.

Zigbee is both network and application layer.

This article has a decent overview https://www.smarthomeperfected.com/zigbee-vs-thread/

My local NHS doctor adopted a new platform recently. It took a surprisingly large amount of effort to confirm Palantir weren’t involved before I agreed to login to it. I would have flat out refused to use it if Palantir were involved.

Yeah. They expect to lose the midterms. Let the bill kick in, and then blame the Democrats for it. ‘How could they let this happen?! Vote for us in 2028 to get your healthcare back’ or something like that.

Yeah, for me Netflix has been downgraded to the ‘subscribe for a month or two a year’ tier, like all the other services.

Yeah it’s weird. I always opt out and it seems to make no difference whatsoever.
