MIT researchers have created the first fiber with digital capabilities, able to sense, store, analyze, and infer activity after being sewn into a shirt. I'd like to wave, but my shirt just crashed and now I can't raise my arm

In spite of the various downsides, most employees still enjoy working remotely and would be more than happy to make a few compromises in order to remain remote. "Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still"

It's called Amazon Sidewalk, and the company touts it as a way to help its devices work better, by extending the range of low-bandwidth devices to help them stay online.
It does that by pooling neighbors' Wi-Fi to help connectivity for devices that are out of range. Of course... they are just doing everything for you...

Oooo ... that's nasty. What if the WiFi is coming from a local hotspot using mobile data? 500MB/month is still 0.5GB, and until recently that's 1/6th of my "free allowance".
And while I can restrict what apps on my phone can use the internet I can't do that with my PC if it's connected to my phone via a hotspot (which I do when I'm mobile as I can't be arsed to move the SIM between the two devices).
I'd be well annoyed if an Echo started using my data and "pushed me over the edge" as it gets expensive very quickly!

This is obviously designed for a world in which data connections are "too cheap to meter". In the real world, I pay for my data connection. Should I have a poor connection in a particular place in the house, I would run a network cable to the location, use Ethernet-over-power, or use a Wi-Fi booster. This isn't rocket science.
This is aside from issues like someone performing illegal actions using my Wi-Fi connection, which might have serious legal repercussions for me!

When coding in the new Visual Studio 2019 v16.10, IntelliCode will now scan your project to suggest handy NuGet packages for you, saving the time and hassle of finding just the right helpers on your own. So it just suggests the latest Adam Sandler code all the time?

Or like Amazon... showing you packages that does the same as the one you already installed (meaning, totally useless after that)

To be fair: Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Oracle, SAP, etc also are very good at doing that as well.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Open Source Insights is an experimental service developed and hosted by Google to help developers better understand the structure, construction, and security of open source software packages. Because it's not just the code you depend on, it's the code that the code you depend on depends on
But of course, it depends.
