That's just the trigger. If they neighbor were listening to Classical music, he would've used that.

Uhm. If you'd read the article you'd know that the person that made this is in Argentina so they're not "latino" neighbors. For him they're just neighbors.

Also, reggaeton is mentioned specifically simply becayse he had to find a way to identify the loud noises his neighbors' speakers were making. If they were listening to loud Trash Metal for example, he would've programmed the device to detect that genre.

Don't make this a hate or discrimination thing. That's not what it is.

Unrelated. I was referring to the fact that PornHub only has very short and/or very low res video available for vr.

Good luck streaming a 30 to 60gb video.

It's also used against men. Checkm8.

There is no such thing as an ethical millionaire. Let alone a billionaire. Any person that is fine with having a wealth well beyond what they could even spend is not a good person.

Why are you posting an article from september 2023?

Some people like them for the aesthetics. In my case, I have a custom made desk with a tray for the keyboard and mice so the cables are not even visible. Longevity wise they're obviously inferior and have an expiration date basically. The performance is also worse unless you're using a wireless dongle instead of bluetooth.

My keyboard has a 2.4ghz dongle, bluetooth and wired connectivity. I choose to use it wired because it has lower latency and I don't have to worry about the battery dying. The mouse is wired and I chose the wired version because it costs half as much (razer deathadder v3) and I don't really have any benefits if'd bought the wireless version (which also uses a dongle). A bluetooth mouse would have much higher latency and a lower polling rate. Same thing with the controller. Bluetooth is slower and not as reliable. Regarding the mic, yeah, no. It's the mic I use for my camera as well and I'm not buying a dedicated wireless mic that would be more expensive and have a lower audio quality. Also, and this goes for everything, batteries can flat out die and they're usually not user replaceable. Not to mention that you have to charge all of these battery powered things and that's a pain in the butt.

Infrared light is not the same as visible light. Why would you assume that letting visible light in would also imply letting infrared in?

I think the idea here is that controlling the temperature of your house with a heating/cooling system would be much more efficient if your house is better insulated. The fact that this also lets in natural light, makes it better for a living space since you wouldn't need artificial light. I really don't think it's that hard to understand.
