Just wanna be clear that this didn't happen because of some technical flaw/vulnerability in Signal. This was completely Human Error

My first thought as well. "Weird they were allowing it before..."
Don't have a good rec to add to the discussion of hardware, but I would love to give a shoutout to GadgetBridge, which is an Open Source Android app that is a vendorless alternative to controlling lots of smart wearables (and other gadgets). It doesn't currently have Polar support, but seems that might be fairly easy to implement, since polar publishes their SDK online (and presumably the protocol with which it communicates).
Why would it make sense? Currently on Android, RCS isn't a system level thing like SMS is. So Signal won't easily be able to pull it in. Unless they implement their own implementation of RCS and the Universal Profile.
Don't forget he keeps his anti assassination escort with him. Either next to him or sitting on his shoulders whenever he's in public
Same with Lake Ontario. "Ontario" is Iroqois for "Beautiful Lake" or "Big body of water"
The word Ontario originates an Iroquois word meaning "beautiful lake," "beautiful water," or "big body of water,"
It would be awesome if Polar was supported by GadgetBridge, because then you could have fully offline and private control of the device.
GB recently got Garmin support and it's pretty solid. I switched from the Garmin app to GB exclusively and haven't lost really any features. Besides the social networking, but that omission is a feature, not a bug.
If it's really 3rd party friendly, I wonder how easy it would be to get support.
Thanks, I hate it
SG1 represent. A lot of people say it's old and campy, but I love it so much
Sorry, I don't. I'm in the US. Idk if they do international, but Zappos may be an option? Although I think they got bought by amazon. To I avoid them now
Hello all, I am moving into a new apartment, and was planning on replacing the thermostats with Z-Wave ones. I currently have a Honeywell T6 Pro Z-Wave in my current apartment, and was planning on picking up a couple more.
When I was at the new place today, I took a look inside of one of the thermostats and saw something I was not expecting. They are all 120VAC line voltage thermostats. The heating and cooling is shared between the building, and whether heating or cooling is on is a whole building schedule. The person in the leasing office that was touring us around the new place when we got our keys said that it switches to heat in october or November.
Attached are a couple of photos of the thermostat and a photo of the vent in the wall (although not sure if that is helpful). The thermostat is a Honeywell T651A. I am not sure of what the actual HVAC equipment looks like.
This obviously throws a hamper in my plans, and now I have to look for alternatives. I am not super familiar with 120VAC HVAC, so I wanted to get some advice from others. I believe it is a heated/chilled water system, and the thermostat simply controls the pump/blower in the wall panel (one of the photos). The fact that there is both heating and cooling is what is confusing me, since all of the 120VAC thermostats I have seen are only for heating. Obviously it all boils down to how the temperature is compared to the set point. If the building switches to cooling (which won't be a problem for about 6 months after it switches I am guessing), the comparison will be backwards.
If anyone is able to point me to any resources on how I can learn about this control system, that would be great. I found the Stelpro KI Z-Wave Thermostat which I think will work, but I am not sure what happens when it switches to cooling in the spring. I prefer Z-Wave since I have found it to be far more reliable (especially in a larger building. This is a 7 floor building with ~15 units on each floor. So there is a lot of 2.4GHz traffic I assume), however if anyone knows of a product that will work for this (if the Stelpro one won't) I'm all ears.

I think it's gonna end up being bad. Mainly because most people are gonna hear on Fox News that this was due to some flaw in Signal, and just take that at face value. A lot of people are not gonna even read an article about why or what even happened.
