But without a decent camera, without a two lens camera, without wireless charging, without waterproofing and selling for $350 sans contract.

After listening to the audio, and how chill she was during the whole landing, I was expecting her to put in a lunch order for her and the co-pilot.

It depends on the news. If it’s not the bullshit fake stories that keep getting propagated by your “friends”, or the ultra biased shit of Fox / CNN / MSNBC, etc - I may. Heck I don’t even use an iPhone these days and I may. For a news source that checks their news and sources, is not biased in either direction, and is

One or two people deciding to pay a newspaper subscription fee today is not going to save the journalism industry. This is like when Republicans trot out the old “if you feel like your taxes are too low, go ahead and pay more” quote. Taxes require collective action to work, and it’s looking more and more likely that

I’m waiting for Linus Torvalds to jump out of the woodwork and loudly tell Zuckerberg to F-off to complete the saga. It would be like the digital version of the fat lady singing.

As someone who never cared about Star Wars (didn’t even see the original trilogy till I was 16 or 17, so I don’t have that childhood nostalgia factor), what I liked most about Rogue One was that it kind of...zoomed in on the scope of the series’ main conflict and showed you why the fight mattered to the random people

Wait till he finds out how much money people spend on their money pits (car). With 100% depreciating value. Sure I’ll spend 500$ on some plastic that covers the windows slightly because its jdm. Or 600$ for an ARC oil cap. Who cares what they charge. Obviously the OP aren’t the target market...

Likewise.

I have a feeling this will be one of those cases future engineers learn about in class.

Yes the blaster work well. I really didn’t have to be picky about placement because the design of them disperses the light well enough that it covers the entire closet/cabinet that the devices are in.

But you didn’t lose it, so it did its job.

I’ve been a Harmony user for many years. I don’t have a Smart Control for the exact opposite reason. My (much older) Harmony 550 just plain works. It works perfectly about 95% of the time. When it doesn’t work it’s usually not the fault of the remote programming. The most common failure is my PVR not turning on, as it

Also an excellent weapon. I need to get max value from my gadgets.

I don’t have the smart control, I have the Harmony 900, but the RF to IR blasters are really great. Tiny little IR blasters on long cords where you can place them basically anywhere in the general vicinity of your devices. In fact, one of mine actually sits behind my soundbar and is powerful enough that the soundbar,

Finding it is one thing. How to stop the wife and kids from wandering the house with it and just dropping it who knows where....

The biggest problem with the 650 is that it has to be pointed straight at the IR input(s) the whole time the sequence is running. My wife never understood that and was always frustrated. The Harmony Elite (and the Smart) don’t work that way and are much better for it (I have one Elite, 2 Smart, and two old 650's). The

Not rich, just a problem solver. (They call me an “out of the box thinker”, but, its easy since I have never been IN the box.) I have to keep 2 or 3 remotes around just so I can find one of them. My “last resort one” is this:

I’ve owned more universal remotes than I can count over the years. The Harmony Smart Control is hands down the best one I’ve ever used. No stupid touch screen. No annoying charging. Setting it up via the iPhone app took all of a few minutes.

I wonder if this (or any) remote solves the single biggest problem with remotes....finding it when it disappears. I want to say “Remote, where are you?” and have it tell me, “I am under the recliner again”.
