Everytime something asks for my ID, I just abandon it and never use it again. I haven't missed them

You raise a good point. My thermostat does not support decimal units. So if I turn on the heater to 24C on a cold winter, the temperature range of my heater actually works likes: turn on at 22C, turn off at 26C. Translated, that's a swing from 72F to 79F. Really annoying.
Obviously they could just make the heater not shit, but I feel like it's harder to fuck up Fahrenheit whole numbers.
I know people who like being able to see their camera remotely. For example ,if someone is trespassing on their farmland, or business. I don't use this feature personally, but I can see why people might want it
Yepp… memories of using the light level curve tool and white point and black point and the perspective tool. Then going in with the white brush and deleting any specks of dust that remained, and comparing to the original to make sure no lines got deleted
Having done a lot of scanning in the past, no matter how gentle you are, the book will be damaged; at least a little bit. Even if you do it manually, by hand, really slowly.
It's the unfortunate reality, because books are not designed to be held open and pressed flat onto an unyielding surface. If you don't press flat, you'll get curved pages and bad quality (dark) images, which is sometimes ok and fixable by software, but often not. You can get really fancy expensive machines, but they still don't fully solve the problem.
I did scanlation editing stuff for a while, and half my job was making the raw page scans look presentable, because the scanners didn't want to destroy their manga (understandable).
It's a lot cheaper, at least where I live. It's also way more convenient to just put on the robot vacuum mop thing every few weeks. But you do you man
That still needs wifi access though. Internet access is a different story, I can't think of almost anything that needs internet access. Maybe security camera.
Is it easy to isolate a device to LAN only via router? I never figured out how to do it.
Does it let you paint a square in your map layout to not mop there? Or split an incorrectly merged room into two? Or select specific rooms to do more often? I'm sure the remote is great for basic use though, but there's a lot you can't do with it
When I was a senior software engineer, I was offered a management position… I said no, because I knew I would hate it and do a terrible job. I actually like programming, and I absolutely hate asking an A.I. to do it for me.
Actually funny story. Or maybe unfunny. I was doing a web project a while ago, and the host site I was trying out asked me to describe my project. I naïvely did so, thinking it was like a description or something. When I hit next, the site A.I. automatically did my entire project for me. All the code, folder structures, API calls, everything.
I just sat there feeling bad feelings for a while. I think it actually made me a bit depressed. Took all the joy out of the project and I never touched it again.
So you can turn it on and access complex settings like map layouts and scheduling from your phone. Not sure how else you would do it. You can implement wifi securely, in this case they didn't
Their comments are also complaining about the amount of bots and A.I. permeating Reddit lol. That's some double decker delicious hypocrisy with extra cheese right there
Why do you need websites to make money?
