Seems like you’re talking about heat pump (technology) and I’m talking about heat pump (commercial product)
But yeah, heat pumps (technology) are used in lots of every day places.

And some companies even install AC only mini splits.
It is the exact same hardware running in different configurations, all that changes is refrigerant flow direction.
As far as I understand that’s exactly what’s been happening behind the scenes.
Yes, an air conditioner is a heat pump with a fixed orientation, what basically equates to a handful of valves to switch the direction of the refrigerant. The actual expensive parts that generate the temperature difference are identical between the two machines.
It’s literally the same machine
Jesus Christ I hope he spends a day in a room with venusian CO2 levels and “totally innocuous” firework debris.
I can’t play souls games on anything but a steam controller. The pads are so much better than a stick for camera movement, and the pads are incredibly useful with the games’ awkward layout for sprinting.
The only OLED feature I couldn’t go back to missing is the Wake Over Bluetooth functionality that lets you use your controller to bring up the system. Not huge for some, but when you’ve got a docked setup it’s heaps more convenient.
Yes because security researchers and hobbyists would never compare an isolated device to one plugged in next to a TV or in a crowded room, there just isn’t any data to support that anything like that is happening. As many other commenters have said, these devices are less complex than a cell phone and most people have no issues carrying one of those around. If one of your devices was “tapped” it would be that one.
The best way I’ve heard it put is “dark matter isn’t a theory, it’s a series of observed problems with our current model”
Encrypted doesn’t mean magically violating the laws of physics, data uses bandwidth. There’s no reason for these devices to be using the amount of bandwidth it would take to make what you’re implying even close to feasible.
You realize it’s trivial to isolate and monitor traffic for a device on your network, right? Like this isn’t magic, we have the tools to check whether or not it’s physically possible for these devices to be exfiltrating 24h of audio a day based on the bandwidth they consume, and the variability in the transmitted data. There are free, fully sufficient tools to do this at literally every level of your home network, if these devices were actually recording all the time people would be noticing it and reporting on it.
I’m glad you made this reply on every comment, otherwise I might not have read it 40 times
No, plenty of well paying software internships.
That sounds unnecessarily painful
The driver probably uses Google maps though
I also use the KDE spin of Fedora fwiw
I’m curious what distro you use. I put my partner on fedora, she’s not very techy, and generally speaking she doesn’t really have any issues doing the day to day stuff. The biggest pain point was switching to Firefox and getting its worse profile system to work, but that was not a necessary change just a choice.
Cognitive dissonance? Not supporting bigotry is wholly unrelated to this issue. Also who calls gay people homosexuals? Just say gays like a normal person ffs
