These pictures remind me of YouTube thumbnails with fhe style of over emphasized visuals and it makes me wonder if people got accustomed to that style and that makes it easier to pass the BS test.
Just think of all the countries and companies that grab this data, group by email address, then start to identify preferences of people around the world. Its not just for identity theft. The possibilities are endless! And horrifying.
I'm not an HVAC technician so I wouldn't know exactly, but I think there's two things to consider: static pressure and duty cycle. Static pressure is the fan working hard to spin which causes wear on bearings. Duty cycle is how long the machine runs. If your duty cycle is too low then the machine is turning on and off quickly which is bad.
You could look at the size of the unit and there's some rules of thumb that translate size, climate, and square footage of just the areas you leave the vent open and there are online calculators you can use.
I think the only way to know for sure is to measure the pressure drop across the intake and outflow and see what the fan motor is rated for.
Depends on the unit and whether it was over sized or under sized for the space, but restricting 60℅ air flow is a lot.
Another thing to consider is that if you later want to heat up the entire house, the unit has to work harder. Sometimes it can be more efficient to just keep the house close to your target temp.
Hmm well if I'm forced to choose between education and "business concerns".
I think I'll pick education. They claim that Washington State has a spending problem not a funding problem. The state spends a lot of money on education supposedly ($14k per student yet we're still having to close schools) so taking away funding definitely won't help the matter.
Yeah there's a few reasons why the offer that wins the buy box (the term for which merchants offer is shown to the customer prominently) and is complex, but I wouldn't consider it particularly sinister or designed to mislead. If one person has prime and the other doesn't, it might weight more towards a prime offer which may be more expensive, a price from a merchant may have changed, or gone out of stock.
They're forging the GPS to look like it's in the EU. Do we turn off all the EU terminals too?
I'm a little surprised they can't identify spoofing by comparing the incoming signal to the proposed location. They already have antennas that can be steered using the phased array.
It's possible, but it costs money to design the hardware so it's accessible, it has to use a connector which has to be robust against vibrations (is m.2 robust?), then there needs to be a standardized protocol to communicate with the card. Does the car computer need to know how to authenticate against the cell network or does the card? Is it industry standardized or specific to the manufacturer? All kinds of things need to be designed and car manufacturers have no reason to invest in they.
The problem is the cell modem in the car. If the cell modem is 3G, 4G, 5G, then that is hard to replace. Cars last a lot longer than phones do. When whatever network that the car uses shuts down, then you can't remote start your car. That's a marginal cost that the car company has to pay for.
CDs have an advantage over USB drives in that they can't actually secretly be USB HID devices like a fake keyboard or mouse that runs a bunch of commands when it plugs in. It's only a storage device.
A super secure environment might then lock down all USB devices to ones known by them and then epoxy all ports and devices.

Some of these closures have detours, but a warning: Detour routes cannot accommodate normal traffic volumes, so try to travel during off-peak hours or, if possible, delay your trip to help minimize backups.
It's been a long summer of road work. You've been patient, and we're grateful for that. We need to get this work done now before we fully enter The Big Gray.
If you didn't know already, many smart plugs are not rated for the amount of power that fridges and other compressor based appliances. They can overlosd the plugs and cause failures or fires. Also shutting off a compressor mid cycle increases the wear.
