- Woke means aware.
- People who are aware of their surroundings tend to care about their surroundings.
- People who care are more likely to vote to protect the people around them.
- People who vote to protect other people are considered politically left, while people who vote to hurt other people are considered politically right.
- The "right" want to use a slur to describe/degrade the "left".
- Woke is now used as a slur.
Do not put a Himalayan salt lamp in there. A dry cloth will do if you really want to clean it.
I'm still disappointed that you can't interact with tags at all on the mobile app.
I don't mind internet connected devices (ignoring privacy issues). What I have a problem with is internet dependent devices. All critical devices should have a backup mode for a lost connection, and all devices should fail safe, not run at max temperature.
My smart lights are controlled by Home Assistant, so they still work when my internet connection goes down. I also have physical switches so I can control them like basic lights if Home Assistant breaks.
Always have backup plans.
I swapped my mother's computer to Linux (Mint). She had no issues using it, because I put the desktop icons in the same place, and copied the browser profile.
Is that like deciding that Tylenol causes Autism, then trying to find evidence after making an announcement?
Steam is almost flawless on Linux, and I've rarely seen a game that doesn't work out of the box (just remember to press "enable proton for all titles" the first time you install steam).
I've never had to do any tinkering with Linux Mint, and I've heard the same about Bazzite.
Linux has come a long way in the last few years. You might be pleasantly surprised.
If you want to have control over smart devices and don't want to be reliant on an internet connection, I highly recommend trying Home Assistant.
It does require a dedicated device, but it's remarkably simple to get started, and amazingly powerful if you want to get into the scripting side.
While some integrations do require internet (getting the weather, or tracking a delivery), most run entirely locally (smart lights, solar tracking, printer stats). The main problem I have is that I keep finding new things I can do with it.
The article title really is clickbait. Neither the car nor charger exploded, and neither seemed to be harmed.
The driver was not knocked to the ground, but seemed to trip and fall when startled.
The only thing damaged was a knockoff adapter that was not certified to be used.
I heard of someone trying to get a refund because it "disappeared".
