1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Wow, it feels like the color splasher 9000 is decades ahead of anything else that exists on the market today!

Just call it version 1, ship it, and promise updates in the near future!

I no longer object to all of these smart version of anything devices.
The people who buy them are so stupid that any help they can get, even from an air-fryer, will be welcome
That could become a new catch-phrase: so stupid he/she takes advice from an air-fryer.

My pita father-in-law recently changed his home wifi setup after getting a new 5G gateway. There were 62 devices of which 20 or so required a manual operation for the new config. (I suggested renaming the SSID and password on the new router, but a tech from the new provider told him not to  ) This included 3 Alexa devices, 3 ring doorbell/cameras, 2 door locks, stove/range, refrigerator, thermostat, garage door opener, iPad, iPhone, Macbook Pro, Surface Pro, toaster, smart things hub, and a couple of TVs...there's some I'm forgetting but you get the idea.
BTW, that new gateway was providing some really impressive throughput numbers: 430Mbps down and 140Mbps up.  (and that was hitting a tower 100 miles away)

I didn't think 5G had that range. From a Verizon page: Quote: In general, the 5G Ultra Wideband network’s signal can reach up to 1,500 feet without obstructions.

This is probably why my hot tub does not have a wifi interface. It is the ONLY thing I wish I could control on the way home.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that!

I don't even have a normal air fryer! 
Are those things any good?
|
|
|
|

Why do you want to fry air?
|
|
|
|

Joke or honest question?
Just in case, FYI, air fryer are cooking implement. Useful for those old fashioned of us who cook our own meal ourselves!

And I'm so excited because I have so much work to do and nothing says procrastination better than watching Tim Cook breathlessly talk about power chargers or the new shade of chartreuse for their phone cases.
Ah, technology.
Update: So the iPad Pro is to be the replacement for the Macbook. No one's come out and said it, but with the M1 chip, 2Tb storage, 16Gb RAM, thunderbolt over USB-C: it's a touch-enabled Macbook.

If that's all that clowns like this talked about, listening to their blather wouldn't be half as bad.
