Yes, that’s what they strive for today but generally are not able to achieve. Better accuracy on the tracker would allow better accuracy on the room tracking, since to do that you essentially need quite accurate triangulation. You’ve got to multiply the innacuracy of 3 trackers together and that’s the innacuracy of the whole system. If each can be off by one meter, then you have a ~3 meter circle in which the thing can actually track you with confidence. Which is not enough to reliably say which room you are in. a 3cm circle would definitely be enough. Probably you could get by with up to 5-10 cm and still do pretty well.
Very nice for home automation- have your music and lights follow you around the house for example. Check out Room Assistant
I only buy stuff that runs on standards and is accessible by FOSS or open protocols. I’ve never had to retire something because of the decision of a tech company.
It’s the lack of anti trust enforcement in the USA that causes this. There is little to no competition left in many markets.
Yeah it’s when you need a reasonable amount of RAM or disk that they really bend you over.
With Trump the grift is usually that the people who buy in think they are funding his campagn whereas he uses much of the money for other stuff like his personal lawsuits for business fraud and the like.
Accurate assessment from what I’ve seen.
I can’t wait to see the level of grifts that will come when they really start to get desperate.
They wouldn’t need to run the ad business. Downsize and replace it with taxpayer dollars.
The reason to nationalize something existing in these spheres rather than build something new is because the network effects of these platforms make it near impossible for something competing to get a foothold. And if anyone could fail to compete against big tech, no one could fail better than the government.
Best would be if they nationalized these systems and then migrated them to their FOSS alternatives over time.
It’s traceable but also possible to hide your identity, especially if you are a major criminal or government under sanctions. Especially when compared to the traditional finance system (in which they also tend to be pretty good at hiding their identities and transactions).
It’s a great platform for being able to transfer money that would otherwise be under sanctions and for storing criminal profits. And that’s probably what it will always be for.
The only way to get this rich is by exploiting others and almost definitely breaking laws. These people all have a screw loose somewhere.
Yeah, even my $50-$60 logitechs will probably last me at least 5-10 years so even $1 would be steep but would be nice for example just to get a new case as the rubbery stuff starts wearing off which is something I’d probably just put up with otherwise.
Yes the idea of fixing is less compelling for a mouse than other technologies. But I would still feel better if I knew they did fix just the part that was broken rather than chucking the whole thing out.
Really, I’m not against this model if it were simply a low monthly fee to rent hardware and have it perpetually fixed and maintained. For a mouse I couldn’t imagine more than $1-2. I would feel good paying that knowing that the mouse wouldn’t go onto the trash heap when it stopped working well.
But of course that’s not what they are thinking. They are thinking you still pay an exorbitant up front cost, plus you pay an exorbitant subscription on top of that.
Well if all the good mods leave and you only have the bad ones left or people who come in just to profit, you get this.
Fortunately it’s a free market and I’d take them elsewhere.
