  • IMO you can never be too suspicious of companies. Especially ones interested in your data.

    For your keypad, if it is zwave only you are probably fine. But if it has any WiFi capability let alone requirements as most do, then no. You can control your network but if you aren’t hooked into AWS then you can’t alter settings, and assuming you get sidewalk turned off, I would still expect it will likely piggyback data through sidewalk anyways because fuck consumer line go up.







  • Doesn’t seem popular here, but I like TinkerCAD quite a bit. It’s really intuitive if you are good with shapes and you can make detailed and fairly precise models with it without much issue. I’ve made around 20 models in it at this point, some of which I’ve made public. If you want to just learn one program that will carry you into the deep end, I’d probably point you to freeCAD just because autodesk can be dickheads and aren’t above pulling the rug out from under you.









  • Then users don’t have to read it. I’m glad they include it whether I read every note or not. It’s refreshingly transparent. It shows how much work is going on to add perspective to their effort, and it allows me to go back and check for something if I have a very specific issue.

    Edit: So much better than the nebulous and infuriating “Various Bug Fixes and Changes”
