Orion browser is also capable of running uBlock Origin (not Lite) on iOS.
I would imagine the charging electrical infrastructure is a limiting factor, as well. What’s a BYD charging station for this technology look like.
I use both and both work well. There a pos/negs to both, Zigbee tends to be cheaper, but there is a complete lack of dimmer plugs.
Interesting. For me, your comment is grey and the one you responded to is normal text.
I would love to see a list of dependable commentators that meet your requirements. Any recommendations?

We're signed into Stream to get a PS5 controller device driver (available in Steam) to work with Epic Fortnite :)
Re:I am sick of people defending Apple on Tuesday September 29, 2020 @10:11PM (#24635101)
And yet, knowing this, people still purchase these products. Apple's reputation, while not spotless, is better than the competitor's on privacy and security. These things, at one time, did't mean as much as they do now. I'm an Apple support and have several devices, but if I see a change in the company, I'll move to something else.
It seems that Epic intentionally violated the App Store rules. Will that be considered by the courts?
Anyone have insight or recipe that will remain creamy even when cold?

Thanks for this post. I'd like to add that the Vizio PQ65 works the same way when using an Apple TV. I refuse to update the firmware for fear that Vizio will force a change that will require an internet connection.
Re:Pi-hole: A black hole for Internet advertisements on Thursday May 30, 2019 @11:31AM (#20052228)
Some devices use hard coded DNS (looking at you G). You can force devices to use the pi-hole via masqurading. In you example, you'd be able to see the malware requests show up in the pi-hole interface.
Re:Pi-hole: A black hole for Internet advertisements on Thursday May 30, 2019 @11:27AM (#20052189)
I would say that you may have a setup issue with your router. My resolution times decreased when the pi-hole is providing DNS responses. I have 30+ devices on a 3b+. I'm using a UniFi setup and both WAN and LAN point to the pi-hole local ip address.
Re:Apple responds to Spotify with words, but no real answers on Saturday March 16, 2019 @07:25AM (#19407295)
Plus, Apple allows Spotify to distribute the free verison of the app (that Apple doesn't have) free of charge.

I bet they realize the lifespan of this device is very short and are trying to maximize ROI short-term.
Re:The antidepressant effect of sleep deprivation on Saturday March 10, 2018 @09:58AM (#16558693)
I have had similar outcomes. I started the Intermediate Fasting in order to try to lower my cholesterol, but mine actually went up as well. Weight went down initially, but then stabalized at my normal, pre IF, weight.
Re:Amazon's Fake Review Problem on Saturday December 16, 2017 @09:41PM (#15943708)
An even bigger problem they have is with the fake 2 Day shipping. Tried to order a Prime 2 Day shipping item today (Sat 12/16) and delivery was 2 day guaranteed for Thursday 12/21. And recently, I'm getting zero weekend delivery. Oddly, recent Ebay orders were delivered on Sunday.
Re:iPhone 8 Plus Camera Review on Monday September 25, 2017 @08:53AM (#15329977)
While I agree, I speculate that Apple doesn't allow this simply for iCloud Photo Library backup aspects. The HEIC/HEVC save backup space. Backing up RAW/DNG would be data costly. I realize there are ways around this, but it's not Apple's style.
Re:Ask HN: What password manager do you use, and why? on Friday February 24, 2017 @11:28AM (#13725052)
I use a combination of 1Password and icloud keychain on my iPhone. I have no account with 1Password and backup to dropbox when I need to swap devices. I use no browser extensions as this will just increase the attack surface for very little gain. The icloud keychain keeps my iOS and MacOS devices in sync and if I need a password for a Windows/Linux machine I'll transcribe or email it to myself if it's too long.
