I know this is NCD but ability to make a dirty bomb or deploy WMDs on the battlefield or in strategic theater use is not at all the same thing as MAD. Iraq had no space program, no long range strategic bombers, no nothing of the sort. (They also didn't have WMDs at that point in time though so...). The concern was that Iraq could use WMDs to harm its neighbors, its own populace, or to enable terrorist groups to use smuggled WMDs. Even the WMD tipped SCUDS Iraq used to have were no real threat to the US troops.

Well, looks like soon they'll be able to just use their short range missiles to strike targets inside Russia.

Zigbee has already done that for a long time and most of those smart bulbs could already be used with various bridges or zigbee controllers.

I mean, that's great, I like self hosting and running my own basic household server and the like. But are you seriously suggesting that's anywhere close to being accessible to most people?

Nobody I know of is stopping you from doing that. Zigbee is pretty ubiquitous, Hue can be controlled offline and by third party bridges and can just link directly into a zigbee controller if you want. Most people don't want to bother setting that up.

You can use most of them without being connected to the internet, just can't control from your phone without being hooked up to your home network.

N-Gage 2 confirmed

If you want a lightbulb that changes colors to be controlled by a phone or network accessible device, as opposed to some other sort of special RF remote, and you DONT want random other people to be able to control or possibly disable or damage your lights, then it kinda needs to have an account.

By all means, avoid iot stuff if it's not your thing, but then why are you looking at color changing lightbulbs? The ones that need special remotes are terrible gimmicks and the ones that get wired into a hardwired home automation system cost a fortune to set up and require a ton of installation.

For real? Kinda yes, multiplayer in a release is a very bad sign that they will either focus on the "more profitable" multiplayer to the detriment of the single player or they will actually hobble the single player deliberately to encourage the multiplayer.

File size is a major limiting factor in high speed video and to a lesser extent convenient ultra HD digital film. At 3840x2160 (basic 4k) uncompressed 10-bit video 1 frame is about 250 MB. An hour of footage at 30 fps then is about half a terabyte. At "only" 1000 fps you would burn through an 8 TB SD card in... 32 seconds.

It appears to be breast, ovarian and uterine cancers.

It appears to be exposure to the bodies sex hormones, primarily during reproductive years.

Taking certain types of hormonal birth control seems to have a similar protective effect, while others have an increased risk (At least in the case of ovarian cancers).
