When the company calls their home appliances "smart", what I hear is:

- they spent money on features I don't care about
- those features will be worse than standalone devices but will drive them out of market (looking at you TVs)
- the appliance is more likely to break
- my data is likely being sold to advertisers
- when the company loses interest in it and cut support, I will need to buy a new device

So no, I don't want "smart" home appliances.

Is anyone watching this? The congressmen (dumbshits) don't let the CEOs (intelligent people) answer any questions. Social media companies have to police the *public*? Social media is a communication company. Why isn't T-Mobile and AT&T on trial? #SenateJudiciaryCommittee

The hyperloop is dead for real this time

Hyperloop One is shutting down its operations. The company was founded in 2014 promising pods that would carry passengers at airline speeds through nearly airless tubes. Turns out, it wasn’t really viable.
