I am still waiting for someone to explain how you get "L" from sinister...
I'll check back in another 30 minutes.

|

In heraldry (and other meanings) sinister refers to the left hand side; so in this case just "L". Rather a flimsy definition IMHO, but this is only CCC.
|
|
|
|
|
Sinister for L is a fairly common crossword convention. Also point for one of E, N, S, W.

I've never seen that in any of the crosswords I have been doing over the years. ENSW obviously quite common.

Well done! All yours for tomorrow.

To me, this is only half so funny.
I have house automation @ home, so have been following the devices and technologies for over 3 years now. Most of the (wireless) devices are directly coming from China, like smart lightbulbs, smart plugs, IP cameras, etc... What network-literate people observed and documented in tutorials and forums is that about ALL of these devices send data on the Internet when they can. For some of them, it is because a part of their "being smart" actually means interacting with the Cloud, but for others, like the plugs, this was rather unexpected, and is no justified. Since these devices are almost plug&play and meant to be used by everybody, I do not think that IT-illiterate people will bother to close ports on their home router (?) and check that the devices are not sending data on some servers across the planet. This data trafic is probably going to explode with all Alexas and other Google home devices.
In my installation, I have smart cameras from China, but they are wired so that I do not rely on WiFi and they have no way to communicate directly with Internet. I retrieve the pictures and the streams via a local ftp server, from where I can check them from a secured connection that I set up, but that was no plug&play out of the box...
The main leak is that I still have a Wifi access @ home, so anybody hacking the WiFi password and the home automation password, or hacking one of the family's phones, is able to enter the house, provided that he knows where to look.

being a bit paranoiac and not believing in good intentions in the human race one could say...
China is going to have a huge power with all that sh1t. Once it is enough spread they will be able to say... "Give me this, or do that for me. If not... I will switch your whole country off"

Is there a different term for mutual destruction which involves that your own weapon also hurts you?
Being that if China has some kinda of remote control of billions of devices, that some of their own internal devices might be affected as well.
China: "You angered us. We are switching off all the lights for 10 minutes to demonstrate our power."
China: "Hey, who switch off our light?" 
WAIT - is this why they have their great fire-wall?!?!?

That would imply common sense on the other side... and experience says... common sense is not that common

As far as I'm concerned, the problem with all of these co-called IoT devices phoning home for their smarts is the phoning home part.
There's no way any such device should not be able to talk to some service running on one of your own computers rather than phoning back home. If data traffic was all limited to within your own LAN...I'd be all in. But the instant a device needs to talk to the outside world however...then it's a non-starter. Obviously this is not a solution for everybody, but if the option is not available (the end user manages the service vs the manufacturer across the internet), then I'm simply not interested.

1) Just realized that I don't get notifications about new/updated messages anymore  Does anyone know where I can turn this off again?
2) Here is a message I've been missing until now:
AvalonDock [2.0] Tutorial Part 1 - Adding a Tool Window
I am sure the download was there at some stage - is it possible to recover the last version from the history?
