For those of you not in the loop, these "keyless" systems let you walk up to your car and open your door without getting your key out of your pocket. There is a proximity sensor under the door handle (similar to proximity sensor on your smartphone). When the proximity sensor is triggered, it searches for a nearby key fob and then instantly unlocks. You can also usually start the car (with a push-button start) without getting out the key. And you can lock the doors (from outside the car) by pressing a button on or near the door handle with the fob in proximity. Basically, you never have to get your keys out for any reason.
Anyway, fortunately, I can never find street parking near my apartment for my Prius anyway. But I'm still going to find a small faraday cage I can leave by my bed to put my keys in before I go to sleep...
Yeah I was thinking keeping electronics in the freezer probably isn't great, there would eventually be build up of moisture inside the key housing itself right?
I would not have been willing to connect my Samsung TV to the internet if their bug bounty program didn't exist. (But, just to be safe, I always keep the TV's camera retracted :-))
I stated somewhere else that I did a factory reset and pulled the cable after connecting my Samsung 'Smart' (it's not) TV to the internet the first time.
It installed some updates and gazillion apps. Crappy apps. Oh are these apps awful. Think 'shiny laptop, plain Windows' and after connecting to the internet for the first time you see mandatory mal- and crapware installations, and the applications are unmovable on your desktop all the time.
Customer supports says that these aren't optional/cannot be removed.
Please. Samsung is not a decent example for how to run a so-called 'smart' TV.
At least on the 2013+ models, you can choose to make the TV not show the "smart" interface every time it boots. And you can disable the "Smart TV" boot-up splash screen, too.
I only bought the "smart" TV because Samsung's best plasma panel is not offered in a dumb TV (http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-tv/#apps ). But, since I had to buy it anyway, it does make a decent Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu player, which saves me an HDMI input and also means one less remote control.
Here is the paper about Dr. Fill that was published in the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, if anyone is interested in a far more technical explanation:
I don't understand why airlines don't just disable recline in one half of the economy-class cabin, and then let passengers choose whether they want to sit in the reclining or non-reclining side.
I'm 5'10" (almost exactly average for men) but I still like having extra space for using my laptop or iPad. I also don't really benefit from recline because I never sleep on flights. So I would really like having the option to fly without it.
This could also save airlines money on fuel and maintenance. Non-reclining seats would likely weigh less, cost less, and would be easier to maintain.
