  • Smarthome firm and early HomeKit partner Insteon is dead, with no warning to customers

    Guess I'll be changing over to a Lutron Caseta system. I've got about 20 Insteon devices around the house controlled with Indigo software. Caseta integrates with Homekit which is probably the direction I will go.

    Personally I’m more impressed with the silicon quantum chips IBM and Intel are developing.
    There are tons of real physical challenges to quantum computing. One of them is the extremely short-lived and unstable lifetime of operation. There yet has to be found a solution for error correction for the mess that comes out of it. We’re years away from a commercial product - maybe decades.

    Kind of like self-driving cars. It's gonna take a lot longer to reach practical reality than people think.

    Just another reason the metaverse is a failure in concept. 
    The metaverse concept is a failure just because one company is hypocritically charging creators too much? I’m not following the logic here. The metaverse, or whatever it ends up being called, is the future and it is inevitable. That’s why literally every single tech company on the planet is working on a version of it. 

    Lots of companies were conviced 3D television was the future too.
    So what? A does not equal b. Why do you people have such a hard time with that?

    Didn't say A=B. What I said is companies can be wrong. Why do you have such poor comprehension?

    Does Apple’s App Tracking Transparency technology actually stop it during the app review stage or when an app actually runs? If the ladder does it actually stop it or can it be circumvented? With the current events I hope Apple is proactive and challenges app developers use of this api.
    Yeah how do we set this up? Also, will it be possible for someone to make a list of apps using AppMetrica? I long ago blocked any connection to Yandex with Little Snitch on my Mac. I use Proton VPN on my iPhone, are they using AppMetrica?

    In my lifetime and the lifetimes of many others before, one truism stands above all others:
    Never trust the Russians.
