Take the mandate away so healthy people don’t buy insurance and leave the very sick to spend a considerable amount to get coverage they need. This is not how insurance works. If only people who need insurance get it, then its not insurance, its a payment plan.

Its just poorly designed. There are different features per device, but essentially its a hub with wifi and IR blasters that are supposed* to let you control everything. Your TV, Tivo, Sonos, Xbox, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Blu-ray player, etc. The problem is it does most things very poorly and the integration…

In my excitement to to control everything with Alexa, I got a Logitech Harmony hub that bridged the infrared gap and works with Alexa. Like everything with the Harmony, it is a useless paperweight and I’m glad Amazon is continuing to do it themselves.

More a point of fact for those keeping score. I have been leaning towards these Gizmodo Media Group reviews than where I started my on-line review reading.

I don’t understand why NASA would ever crash a probe if its still working and able to conduct scans? Is it really that expensive to staff a person or team to monitor it? I’m sure they could outsource to any number of universities if its testing criteria or plans they need. Its not like they are going up there and…

The post could have just read “Shailene Woodley is Dull” 

Can I ask a serious question? Why do you (the author) use “White People” and not “Racist White people?” I am white, support and agree with pretty much every point, cause, and movement this community makes. I don’t want to be lumped in with racist white people who disgust me. I’ve read plenty of articles on The Root…

I was being sarcastic as to imply this article was crazy conspiracy spouting, like deep state.

sarcastic.

But its performance is meaningful and impactful. For example”

Whoa, simmer down Deep State. How is this different than a butt dial or your small kid mashing numbers on your land line? Just because the controls are voice activated rather than tactile doesn’t make it a privacy thing any more than the above examples are.

This is why it should be possible to bring Coulson back into the MCU (well, pending whatever happens with him next season).

Before Alexa introduced the kid features (Amazon Freetime) we had a normal Dot in my sons room, mostly to control his lamps and play lullabies. Well we got a call from a friend one day that my son had called them and it took a while to realize that my son saying “Alexa, turn off Coulson lamp” was activating “Alexa,…

Tambra is a horrible POS and deserves all the ridicule and none of our sympathy, however any form of physical aggression, even if its just water, should not be condoned. Hold the moral high ground.

That video on CNN is painful to watch. Just a guy with zero clue. If he doesn’t end up in jail after a shooting spree, he is likely to wind up dead due to, and this is the medical term, “forgetting to eat food and maintain proper hygiene.”

Google Wifi continues to be a winner for me. It has a simple interface and setup, its reliable, it doesn’t make you manage the 2.4 vs 5GHz seperatly, it has great range and it uses the mesh tech pretty well. Most importantly for my home, it handles 50+ devices with ease. I had lots of problems getting my smart home to…

It’s always frustrating to go through the routine of debugging an outage (checking modems, routers, apps, devices) only to find out its the cloud. And the inconvenience.... Can you believe I actually had to use my legs and walk downstairs to arm the Guard rather than from the comfort of my bed! Oh the humanity!

This is a headline that defines the state of our country right now.

Drax had some terrific lines (“I’ll do you one better, why is Gamora”) but this scene slowed the film down in an awkward way. Thinking about the cutting room I am shocked that scenes with Widow and Bruce were cut and this made it in.
