    I actually don’t get it. Root that thing and you can make it as dumb as you want. People want to press buttons and everything works. But please private and secure. That’s not how it works, not because of the electronics, because of thee greed and people. Nobody wants to learn basic stuff and anything should just work. No. Learn or shut up. Or pay someone who is willing to do it. The “companies” will be as evil as the consumer let them be.

    We’re having a small yarn / wool dying shop here in northern Germany, it’s the best thing you can get into. We don’t even see it as a business, it’s a a beautiful, colorful service. The best community, breathtaking customers, awesome materials from happy creatures. Just a wonderful product. People come here, sit down and knit. And you hear many stories how that bit of “doing something” actually helps. There’s a simple honesty in it, nothing was ended, no creature gave it’s life, just their hair, we put a bit color on it and after quite some years we are regularly stunned what people create from it. It is therapy, definitely. For us too.

    Define “intelligent”. I know a lot of engineers through my job, they may be professionally competent, but … Let me give you a short example: The engineer that actually was the team leader building a huge crane on tracks parks his car behind that thing in the blind spot for the operator. Shortly before a test. There went his beloved Jaguar. Old, but true story.
