...was managing the inventary of a bookstore here in Italy. I saw it about five years ago, and the bookstore was specialized in ancient books. It was a really inspiring vision to see on the same desk a C64 surrounded by some in-folio books. Too bad that the store was shut down recently, don't know what happened to the C64.
I don't use IoT, and I will never will. No need to share with external world room temperatures, door status or garden humidity. Electromechanical devices are enough for this, they are much cheaper, and are free from the risk of being tampered from an indian hacker.
I still have to understand why people need to control everything from their smartphone, when there are simpler solutions that require much less of your precious free time to be implemented and used.
I was considering that, after all, they earned (ahem...) up to now "only" 86,400 USD. To do this probably more than one people was involved, so halving as a mininmum the income for each person taking part to the dirty work. Since by doing this these people demonstrated some good programming and organizing skills, why didn't they put their skills for good use working as a consultant or starting a software company ? I know, you have to deal with IRS, balances, maybe PHBs, and all the bureaucracy that affects good companies. On the other side, if you get caught your work is rapidly destroyed, and if identified you get a fine, maybe some jail or probation time, and you are known forever as a bad guy. Is it really worth of it ?
movies will be reviewed by AI based system replacing critics, and will be shown in the movie theatre to an audience of robots.
So humans will have more time to do something interesting, live viewing old b/w movies at home, while robots are elsewhere at the movie...
To have a politically correct programming language, we should also take care of replacing the "do" loop controlling statement with something less imperative, like "could you", "please compute", and so on.
If the data in 22% of disks were unrecoverable, either the drives were broken, or the previous owner was very paranoid, or they have been used to store something very valuable.

NDT methods based upon gamma rays has been designed exactly for this purpose. Just use a properly desgined Cs137 or Co60 radiation source, and you can see everything in a thick steel pipe.

My smartphone has of course an app for the clock, but curiosly the time transmitted by the telecom provider is often out of sync with the ntp server I access through the same provider, using their data service. My old wristwatch is however my preferred source for time information, followed by a few sundials I come across during my commuting...living in rural Italy has some benefits, isn't it ?!?

Indeed: you will need a self-driving chair to assist you while on rehab after the car crash caused by a self-driving char.
You just need the right gadget.

It will be a nice add to our collection.

Courage and stupidity are often correlated.

"Your fridge cannot recognize the ice cream you installed. (R)eboot fridge or (M)elt the ice cream ?"
"Your fridge is 99% full. You can make more space with the Fridge Cleanup Tool. Proceeed ? (Y/N)"
and at the very end:
"I am sorry Dave, you should not eat this."
"Open the fridge door, HAL!"
