The enshitification I mean, applies to the new models. Once the current device dies, you need to replace it.

And in the future, the offline devices might be no longer available, because they stopped being produced. And only new shittier ones are for sale.

Firewall blocking is not the point. The point is, that over time through enshitiffication the new device will require call home to unlock. Even when it does not need internet to work at all. But through this the vendor will get a foothold.

Sure you can block it, but then you have a pricey paperweight.

This is not unique to Thread/Matter, they can pull the rug on ZigBee as well, ofc.

This trailer saves 7000l of diesel per year. Assuming 40l/100km, with this trailer you can go ~17.000 km more, which is 11-17% more, for the same fuel cost. Or ~12-15k EUR in fuel savings per year (assuming 1.8EUR/l).

With 13+ years ROI (electricity is not free) is this really beneficial?

> index 0 holds values from 0-1, index 2 from 1-2 etc,

Well, now you are double counting the end values of the ranges. In your example 1 is included in both 0-1 and 1-2.

Sure, but are they running audio recognition and image recognition models on each upload just to classify it?

How is TikTok able to screen this en masse? Are they going after tags? Political issues aside, I am really interested in the technical background in this.

Firefox on Android has UBlock Origin available. But that covers the browser only. I guess AdGuard and VPN might help here?

Oh, right thanks for clarification. They are indeed not pumping just any salt water, but much heavier brine (which they get who knows where).

So if there is any leak in the system, it will kill local wildlife right, like the brine pools under ice in Antarctica.
