Forced software/hardware downgrade to receive vehicle repair is such tyranny. Do owners that bought a car with a radar-based safety system have any recourse if they don't consent to the software & hardware disable of the radar

This algorithm change has resulted in dramatically lower estimates for my area. Previously I assumed Redfin's estimates were trustworthy trailing averages. Now I realize they are very opinionated or perhaps even trying to shift buyer&#

I use my Hue lights daily, but I haven't opened the official app in years thanks to 3P apps & Philips's own Zigbee switches.

Philips may have fixed the vulnerability in an update, but that's insufficient if these devices don't have high update rates. I wonder how many years until there are fewer than 15000 vulnerable Hue devices in Paris... We should ho

I believe the fate of Android Wear style smart watches is highly intertwined with the proliferation and usefulness of 'contextual computing' (Google Now, etc). Glanceable cards afford great tolerance for false positives. Combinin

Agreed. For example: Chicago has a much bigger tech sector, including satellite campuses of silicon valley tech giants like Google. Kansas City seems to have stronger entrepreneurial support, including being home to the Kauffman Foundation

I'd argue there is huge value in app controlled 'home environment' devices (light color & brightness, music, air/heat/fan, etc). When the software controls are sufficiently convenient, adjusting the environment

The internet-of-things is rapidly getting there. <shameless self plug> For example, my Android app, LampShade.io, has user-defined lighting 'moods' that work with the Philips Hue. Currently these are primarily triggered via

Has Goldee ever shown details on user input yet? I can only find concept photos with it lit us showing status, and vague mentions of gesture detection.
