I don't have the exact break point but if you optimize for winter then you want a steeper angle. Especially further up north.

Seems like a way to use lax consumer protection as an excuse to bomb people.

That is an odd take. Ransomware gangs had held hospitals and cities in the US hostage for years. The scam centers are making elderly destitute who then have to fall back on the state for subsistence. If nations do not attempt to rein in these terrorist gangs, yes, they should be held accountable.

How about holding hospitals accountable for connecting sensitive systems to the internet.

And not some poor country where government are hardly in control and some guy has some vpn server running in a closet somewhere.

I recognize this...

Maybe one could spam fraudulent frauds to drown the real ones.

"Artificial intelligence will make internet fraud even more dangerous"

Not really. But old filters, like effort needed to target me, wont be enough.

My concern is when my voice will be used to beg my parents for money. I could preemptively try to fake scam them and claim I didn't do the call...

Sounds like a nightmare for a future buyer to operate.

Some people are unlucky enough to buy homes where a machine engineer designed the boiler setup and the boiler room have enough valves and manometers to like operate the engine of Titanic.

I guess programmers are the new sinners in this area nowadays.

If we ever sell this (which we don't plan to), I know what to install (it'll be quite good, just not this perfect). I have it in a cupboard (a Siemens Connected Home thermostat system), the downside of that is that the combined UFH+radiator rooms will be less comfortable.

(But still more comfortable than 99% of the houses I've been in.)

I haven't mentioned in the parent comment but as a test I've dismantled the HA system and installed the Siemens system and it works well, just not 'perfectly'.

Sounds well thought out. Many seem to forget designing for replacing.

In generall I think all these IoT systems will be a major headache as they age.

My thermostats on the radiators are 45 year old by now. That is kinda the expected service life we are used to.

The existing professional setup was also a nightmare, what gives?

Well first of I am envious and I would want to do something similar.

If I inherit a heating system I want it to be all mechanical except maybe the control system for any heating pump.

Well the study was a couple of weeks, right? I guess it takes time to rebound.

The clique on pub B might talk down on the clique on pub A without any motivation but not B.

Someone that doesn't notice that he is "hated" might also be susceptible to such low key social manipulation to be made believe he is hated.

But ye, as I am not in clique A or B there is a lot of guesswork on my part and I cam't argue against someone else's story. I am just trying to bring up the possibility of bad mouthing.

The word "hate" itself also offers a lot of room for interpretation.

It is anecdotal but eg. me and my brother and some of my male friends "burned out" on silly meme feeds on sites like Memebase and what not before there was any very addictive feeds. Maybe fewer women was full of it by the time Instagram came?

George Lucas had an especially hostile stand against the unaltered versions though.
