as far as cyber guns go i dont think it's a solution until were in the distant post energy revolution future where everything is now a railgun or directed energy weapon. those would be complex enough that if the safety lock was like, built into the control chip there'd be no easy way to work around it. a fancy biometric lock on a regular firearm could just be taken off. firearms are completely mechanical, there's no way to make it work that same way. its like how alarms and locks on old pre-engine control unit cars are insanely easy to disable, but its very hard to hotwire (well designed) modern cars because theres multiple computers going 'is this an authorized engine start?'

A Russian troll farm posted:There's almost no daylight between mandating biometric safties on all guns and banning guns outright, so why not go all the way? Mandated biometric safties would necessarily mean confiscating every single gun in the country and either holding them somewhere or destroying them, since from both an engineering and logistical standpoint it would be completely unfeasible to retrofit every gun. So it would be seen correctly as an attempt to confiscate all guns, and it would be just as politically unfeasible. So why not just go all the way at that point? if there's a steady supply of legal, basically working guns are use restricted somehow, there's an argument to be made that it'd likely make it harder to get an illegal gun by choking.out the market still, yeah it doesn't seem like a very good solution

I was curious about this and here's the thing: It actually doesn't listen. It's just lying about it for some reason which is detailed in the bunches of one star reviews. The box is also lying according to the reviews in that it's not compatible with Alexa either (one review mentions that their box said "Compatible with Google Home &" and they also got rid of their support for Wink hubs (which I think have been completely abandoned anyway so no surprise there). In addition to it not actually having a microphone and not being compatible with what it says it is, it also apparently works by connecting to your phone via Bluetooth but keeps its scheduling features on the plug itself and will lose them if removed from the power source. As far as I can tell it's lying about almost everything it claims it can do.

Where's the auto-aim? All soldiers today have grown up with videogames and they must be disappointed. Laser guns are stupid but there must be room for improvement. Hopefully not though since it would lead to worse shootings!

It's more that in the past people thought we'd have robots do all our work for us and people could finally chill. In truth robots do 80% of the work, people are starving to death for lack of work and the ones still working are still working themselves to death to make number go up by some fraction of a %. some philosopher dude posted:Can anything more insane be imagined?
