A 3D model of your home in a cartoon/"the sims" style that shows where your smart home devices are. The model could also be used to play various automation scenarios (e.g. morning routine, or someone walks past the front door). It's easy to keep track of a few devices, but if you have many similar devices, you likely think about them by location, not by name or other identifier.

The first sentence of the article mentions that the key problem is the microplastics that have reached the ocean. Cutting off one source is valuable, but that will still leave lots of microplastics in the ocean. I don't think aiphex is wrong to comment on the technology's limitations.

Why do you think that the inability to solve a related problem (microplastics in laundry wastewater vs in the ocean) with the same technique is too far off topic?

I would expect that legitimate debt collectors will be verified by Twilio.

> Verified By Twilio displays company branding and a reason for the call right in front of the consumer

This should make the purpose of debt collection calls obvious, though I don't see how they plan to enforce accurate call descriptions.
