If you want to be sure to be in control, then host it yourself

I've long dreamed of a dishwasher that can detect when you remove the (cleaned) dishes from it, and presents a display saying 'load dishes' or something like that. And after finishing a cycle, says 'unload dishes'. Should be pretty easy to achieve with some load cells in the feet, but haven't seen any like that.

How do you plan to stop the social contract being changed by some successor or if you get bought out? Google was all "don't be evil" until they became evil. Not really sure of a good answer to that, other than perhaps having each user buy-in to become a shareholder, and even then, don't know if that would prevent this situation.

If it's that crucial, then you need redundancy. A backup travel CPAP might be worth investing in.

True, but they do make it a lot easier. But the heel strike itself isn't the problem, it's the over striding that modern shoes also encourage

The costs are offset by the fact of the boxes providing free advertising for Telstra. That's the main reason they keep them operational.

caffeine extraction is largely a function of time in contact with water. Espresso is quite quick brew, so has less caffeine than other brewing methods (yes, there are plenty of other factors)

I was a good step forward. Perhaps with the exception that you had to click "Start" in order to shut down the computer.

I believe that was intentional, to prevent people using it plugged in, which would mean most people would keep it plugged in all the time, so it wouldn't be a wireless mouse anymore, but also degrade the battery lifespan.
