  • You really want Thread over Matter

    Do you mean over WiFi? Matter and Thread don’t have overlapping functionality. In the OSI model, Matter is like layers 6-7, Thread covers 3-5, and 802.15.4 is 1-2 (MACPHY).

    Matter also works over Ethernet and WiFi.

    ZigBee is like 3-7 also using 802.15.4.

    Z-Wave is also like 3-7 with some sub-GHz MACPHY.

    For Matter, low power devices and sleepy devices should use Thread to optimally conserve battery.

    Ethernet > WiFi unless wireless is needed for other use cases like cameras, media boxes, dedicated power, etc.

    Bluetooth (low energy) last I checked is only supported for commissioning a device. It does use the Matter protocol, and I’ve blinked some lights on test hardware over BLE, but it wasn’t officially supported.


  • This shit pisses me off. Fix our damn healthcare system for fuck sakes.

    We don’t fund the mental health services needed.

    We fuck over chronic pain patients treating them like addicts.

    Many are disabled on both sides. We expect them to fill out paper work with every “I” dotted and “T” crossed. You screw up once? Now you start over. Many places that could offer real help just won’t take state aide because they take forever to pay.

    If you do have a job, even below the poverty line but just enough to have insurance, welcome to ridiculous copays and deductibles.

    It pains me when I’ve seen someone making progress with mental or physical therapy as a path to coping but fall due to one paperwork or appointment mistake withdrawing those services without a safety net.

    They won’t treat the root cause for many by just going single payer and de-privatizing health care. Need something to campaign on to funnel more cash to our military complex.
