Oh wow, the 2024 Prius Prime has a full 3 seats in back. When we were Prius shopping in 2018, we were disappointed to learn that getting plug-in capability cost an extra $10K and removed the rear center seat. We ultimately just bought a "regular" Prius. I'm sure we _would have_ figured it how to install a car seat in such a tight space, but I don't regret missing that frustration.
I mean, Planet's been doing that since before Starlink had a constellation, and what it can do is "image every inch of the globe at least once each day".

Definitely not for home use, but I could imagine a place for an open source server to manage a commercial property too. I'm admittedly a total outsider at property management, but I could imagine someone who operates several hotels, office buildings, or maybe even a school district wanting a building automation solution that doesn't lock them into a particular vendor. They'd have enough rooms and hallways with identical equipment that populating it via files, CLI, or an API might make sense.
Is there an actual indication that these are connected to a network? Depending on how these devices work, some failure may have caused them to get reset to a factory default, requiring a password to be set before accepting settings like a message.
> Why would they all fail at the same time unless they're networked?
Because temperature swings in the area over the weekend caused some physical issue in the devices? Because someone figured out how reset them, and reset a bunch for laughs? I agree that network is a likely root cause, but it's also an assumption.
Makes sense, but I'm replying to a comment that wondered if the assumption that the lights were actually networked was a good one. I thought it was, because they all went out at the same time.
This is a weird argument to me, since second hand smoke causes cancer. I agree that we're probably more distracted than is good for us, and there are contexts where that's a public health risk (specifically when driving), but until we see evidence that public phone use causes bystanders to get cancer, equating the two seems hyperbolic.
My table has made great use of https://shmeppy.com for remote-play maps. The maps it makes are much less sophisticated (just painting color on the squares and lines of a grid). What it gives you instead are player/monster tokens that everyone can see, measuring tools, and "laser pointers" to allow participants to draw attention to a region of the map while speaking.
EDIT: also an awesome fog of war feature; how could I forget?
In the chain of custody that is shipment, though, it IS easy to check for violated detectors before accepting custody of the package, and refusing to accept responsibility for it.
