RFID implantee, maker & tinkerer, Doctor Who fan, swears a little, disabled, CRPS, chronic pain, wheelchair user. Geordie. Life is lockdown - primarily bedbound.
Free Palestine. Stop the genocide everywhere!
(Geordie Brit, sorry)
RT'd for what little reach I have. It's a grand question, I admit to being curious myself.

They're needs to be a disabled person on the SCOTUS

Tell your ISP you want a proper speedtest done, say you've disconnected all devices, don't do it, if they tell you otherwise then they'll know which types of devices you have from the MAC address and probably much more personal data with it.

I'm curious to see which apps' permissions you allow on your phone? Does your phone come with A f'kin I baked into the firmware yet?

I'm with you on the washing machines, TVs, fridges etc but I'm disabled so rely on lights & sockets.

Undeniably, but I think by the 2nd or 3rd year it should start to sink in. The safest way to ride on 2 wheels is to assume everybody is actively trying to kill you. Insurance companies say accidents average 1 in every 6 rides. There's an alarming number of accidents are caused by drivers on 4 wheels

We loved him in Rising Sun. He was in fast more than we'd seen but he excelled in what we saw.
Rest well Mr Tagawa.

Every car driver should spend a minimum of 1 month every year on 2 wheels. Bicycle, scooter, motorbike, it doesn't matter but removing the metal around them makes them more aware.
Obviously some exceptions for disability etc.

Nice, HA's a solid choice.
It's a SWAT team vs wasp solution - highly capable without breaking a sweat! (if the comms are up)
I'm guessing less technical people stick to alarms on the phone and/or someone as a backup?
If they're big enough then it's a shitty move.

I'm trying to think of a way of phrasing "I never thought I'd see an American (I didn't know well) say something like that" without sounding like a total twat but it's 05.36 and I'm in a lot of pain. There's a genuine compliment in there somewhere but you might have to decode it first.
Thank you. 👍

The voice and watch are part of a subscription but it's under £9 a year for the full suite of apps and it's used for much more than meds. I have Raspberry Pi's around the house so they send my phone & watch info, very useful when weekly scripts finish and scrape custom quick launch tiles.

I use Tasker.
I've got it to announce when it's time then nag every 20 minutes, turn the status bar green, put a pill icon on the watch, talk to me & listen for my reply, and log the time taken to a daily pain diary that's automatically shared with the pain clinic.
Then it texts my wife confirmation

We need to get that funded!
My Mrs suspects he sees it as a Nobel Prize. Obama has one so tramp wants one. I say let him think he's got one. He'll embarrass himself soon enough when he brags about it.

That took me a moment. I read 19/12 but my brain ignored that and processed 1912. I only questioned it when I realised we're past 2012.
