I know exactly what you're feeling, and I totally get it. Still, if executed well, I'm at least impressed that they pulled it off. I would have sworn such an experience wasn't possible.
But yeah, I'm not interested in having artificial multiplayer interactions.
As someone who believes LFG was the beginning of the end of MMOs, I can't tell if I despise this or if I'm impressed.
My guess is...
So in other words, the article doesn't mention which rule could be interpreted to ban giving out water.
And yet it's the first CEO Intel has had in years who is willing to acknowledge reality. Maybe they're finally past their denial stage.
ZigBee devices form a mesh network, which WiFi devices don't do. This means I can have my hub on one side of my house and a bunch of bulbs and smart outlets maintain a backbone through the house for a bunch of low power devices (like thermostats and door sensors) to connect to it.
If you're having a bad ZigBee experience, I recommend making sure your bulbs can serve as a general ZigBee bridge, and not just a bridge for other bulbs of that brand. Otherwise, a well placed smart outlet can serve the same purpose.
I also don't want devices I'm actively using to needlessly compete with random logistical packets from a dozens of devices around my house. I also don't want the devices themselves to need all the power of a WiFi connection when another protocol suited to low power home automation devices is sufficient.
ZigBee/zwave were fine for me, though. I personally haven't seen a clear benefit to matter+thread yet.
Oh my sweet summer child, if only that were what is happening here.
You should be able to filter out certain keywords using your Lemmy client.

Yeah, clearly, no difference.
In particular, fear, or "terror". You can use violence without anyone knowing, and you can create fear without violence. The fear is the key factor.
Looking for Group. As someone else said, the ability to click "queue for dungeon", be dropped into an instance with a bunch of random, and proceed to faceroll the dungeon without any thought or patience required.
The fun part of old school MMOs was the journey, not the destination. Modern MMOs have all optimized the journey out by making everything doable without ever being dependent on another player.
