Matter over Thread is what you want. It means it can work locally with anything. You do need a Thread controller (called a “thread border router”), but most people already have one. Google Home, Alexa, or Apple things all do it.

Ikea is starting to move over to this stuff. Just be aware that they’re also trying to get rid of the old tech still.

And it’s so ubiquitous that the only way to avoid them altogether is to become Amish.

Like a wireless router?

Can your neighborhood communicate when the Internet goes down like Iran?

Which treaty is the one he really wants to dissolve? I bet it’s one Russia wants dead.

Shouldn’t it be called Microsoft 250? There are 250 working days in a year. As soon as I’m home I’m using Thunderbird or Libreoffice, certainly not the product formerly known as Microsoft Office.
