the latest kickstarter craze is this thing which is "a tor hardware router" and there's a ton of articles everywhere talking about how great it is going to be

except it's literally one of these

I think it was obvious from the slashdot announcement it was just the software packaging of Tor on a portable wireless router.

It's very close but I'd love to see a basic WiFi router that can connect to a local WiFi network, open up an OpenVPN tunnel, and create a new SSID that routes all traffic through the tunnel. Fast enough that Netflix and similar work is good enough.

though i guess nobody follows that part of the usb standard. well, apple

Yes, but I think there is a usage with USB ports in cars that have data lines to feebly hook up with the car stereo. If you had a USB condom you could charge your phone, use the phone speaker and not have to use the drat awful car integration.

Has anyone ordered a Luna "smart bed sheet"? The idea of an electric blanket that doesn't burst into flames and learns when you sleep and gets the bed warm in time does sound pretty nice.

Just in time for Winter next year!

I wondered how the comparables are selling on Amazon, $100 gets you a micro-fleece heated blanket, while $200+ gets you a "plush topper".

I guess it is cheaper than a Sleep Number bed :lol:
