Can the app connect the sperm donation from your mobile device? There's an fapp for that. Or do you have to rub your equipment against the screen? Oh what? You want to borrow my phone to make a call, no problem!
The washer does not sing. It only plays the amusing melody. And then again in a few minutes if you haven't removed the clothes. Manual? Was there a manual? And thank you for the corrections! An interesting research project would be to determine how many times the washer will play the melody if you don't remove the clothes. Hours? Days? Months?
When the washer is finished it plays this interesting melody.
It is Die Forelle written by Chopin.
The title roughly translated to English would be: The Fish.
I'm less certain, but I believe that the lyrics would translate into something like:
I'm done, come get your clean clothes
The cycle is complete
The wash and rinse have finished
The spin was fast and strong
I'm ready now to be emptied
Don't make me wait too long
I'll be here patiently awaiting
I'll soon repeat this song
Microsoft achieved its position by creating and maintaining an illegal monopoly. Rewind to the 1980's. Before Windows. Back when there was this thing called MS-DOS and compatibility with the IBM-PC has become the industry standard for hardware.
There were other OSes in the early 1980's. Some as good or better than MS-DOS. (You also have to remember how shockingly primitive hardware was back then.)
But MS-DOS was the big one, because it was like PC-DOS on genuine IBM PCs.
So Microsoft's deal with OEMs: if you want to sell MS-DOS on your PCs, you must pay Microsoft for an MS-DOS license on every PC you make, whether or not it comes with MS-DOS preinstalled. That instantly made every other OS uncompetitive. If you wanted to buy Brand X, you were also going to pay for MS-DOS no matter what.
Walmart has something almost like a warehouse of goods, in most medium sized towns. Maybe they could figure out some way to use this new intarweb thingy and offer Amazon like service? In fact, it might be possible for many physical stores to do this. The last big challenge would be grocery stores. But they won't. They'll just let me use Amazon Prime and now be able to order all kinds of household goods from paper towels to dog food. Delivered right to my door. Maybe Donald's son could help -- I hear he's good at cyber.
Maybe eventually you can legally BUY a movie from Amazon.
(And NO, you cannot buy a movie today, no matter what Amazon calls it. Their "purchase" option is just a long term rental until Amazon, or the actual copyright owner decides to withdraw your ownership from you. Like in one case of a Disney movie some time back where "owners" of that movie had it taken away because Disney had some other exclusive streaming offer they were making to others.)
All that said, ten years ago it would have seemed unthinkable that you could download and "own" an mp3. But you can. I've done it multiple times from Amazon. I can buy tracks or an album. Download. Put it on all of my own personal devices. In every sense I feel like I made an actual purchase and received something in return. Like any purchase it's my duty to take care of it (eg, make sure I have reliable backups, etc).
I think the book and movie rights holders are taking longer to come around to giving true DRM free ownership. But I think it is inevitable that they will. Or maybe they won't, since they already have effective DRM tragedies / strategies in place. Unlike mp3 which did not. And mp3 players which did not and already had massive market penetration.
Still I can rip DVDs and play them on my own personal devices. I can watch a movie on a plane. Etc.
I want to find a MAX7219 display multiplexer chip. Where do I look? Amazon. I can get several of those chips, including shipping, for the price that Adafruit charges for a single chip. Drawback: have to wait several weeks for them to arrive, probably from China. But if I'm not in a rush, no problem.
Want 7-seg LED displays? Some other kinds of chips? Breadboards? Test instruments? I mean obscure things that most soccer moms don't order -- Amazon has it.
But on the flip side, think of how short board meetings would be if each director had to express all new and existing business in 140 characters.
And the board secretary who takes the minutes of the meeting has the easiest job in the world (Well, second easiest, right after Donald Trump's fact checker.)

People also compare Pi and Arduino sometimes for the specific purpose of identifying the important DIFFERENCES between them.
The Pi, and Arduino, each do a specific thing very well. That is why they sell in such large numbers.
The idea that Windows has any place in this game is an idea promoted by Windows fanboys and Microsoft. Like Windows 8 Phone and Tablet. An attempt to say "me too!". Late to the game, and what do they bring to the game . . . windows.
I was going to post something similar. I would point out that some Raspberry Pi fans will say that it's not a fair comparison. You should compare the Pi's $35 price to the price of . . . .
How much is that 12 TB or RAM again? And how many thousands of dollars is each single one of those processors again for that four socket board?
The real point being, that performance comparison of a Pi to something more expensive is probably not really meaningful. The Pi does something that fills a real need. That's why they sell so many of them.
This Solid Run board is an attempt for the Windows fanboys, or for Microsoft to say "me too!". Just like Windows 8 Phone, and Windows 8 Tablets. And we saw how well that worked out. Late to the game, and what do they bring to the game . . . windows.
Former Microsoft CEO Steve "developers" Ballmer says Linux is a cancer.
Former #4 guy at Microsoft, Allchin, who also headed up Vista, said Open Source is un-American, and Legislators need to be educated to the danger.
Can Microsoft get rid of cancer as effectively as it got rid of Linux and Open Source?
Try to Embrace, Extend and Extinguish cancer.
But these days Microsoft Loves Linux. Just like Sharks love Fish, and Foxes love Chickens. Maybe next: Microsoft Loves Cancer!
Maybe Microsoft can find some obscure nobody company, like SCO, and dump a bunch of money into them to start a big lawsuit against Cancer in order to destroy it.
Microsoft, just keep fighting cancer the way you fight open source. If at first you don't succeed, use a shorter bungee.
It's not because of network congestion. The reason for data caps is to limit how much you can stream. But if there isn't a congestion issue, they why limit streaming?
Ta da . ..
In order to charge money on the other end to streaming providers to be "Zero Rated".
Basically because they have a monopoly on the last mile and want to exploit it.
Whoever will pay the biggest amount to "partner" with the ISP for Zero Rating will get all of their streaming through without trouble.
If data caps went away, then Zero Rating would simply not exist. Netflix is right to pick this particular battle rather than go after zero rating.

Yes. That. I am disappointed that Slashdot would put a friggin' Windows logo next to a Raspberry Pi article. Insulting and clueless actually. Let's use the logo of a company that has and continues to try to destroy Open Source and Linux at every possible opportunity.
Microsoft putting a broken special stripped down Windows on the Pi is the fizzle of a "me too!" moment. Like many other things, Microsoft will lose interest in this as soon as a new shiny comes along. Windows on the Pi is too little, too late. Just like Microsoft being late to the mobile devices revolution.
The kind of people likely to anything great with a Pi are probably not using Windows.
Microsoft's adding a Linux personality to Windows 10 is Microsoft's recognition that the developers developers Developers DEVELOPERS they want . . . are on Linux.
Do you really think you can buy such cool toys and then put them in the close and not use them? These are cool killing machines. Fantastic guns of every shape and size. Beautiful aircraft that fly at amazing speeds. Firing really cool missiles. Super accurate missiles and bombs. Shoulder launched ones.
You are naive if you think we can buy such amazing toys and not use them. The only weapons NOT to have been used are nuclear ballistic missiles. And if Trump were elected, he could use them on a whim. It's only the sanity of a succession of presidents that prevents these from getting used.
The military industrial complex will push and push for there to be wars so that they can continue to replenish the cool toys. And design and build better ones. It is simply too profitable. Not having a continuous state of undeclared war would be unacceptable. There are powerful forces at work here. Just like Big Oil.
