    So, where is the money for them? How will the new standard generate the income for them? Selling more smart speakers?

    Creating universal standard will promote smaller companies to make smart devices since it will reduce there development costs. Also more people will be willing buy these new devices since universal standard will ensure you buy any device from any vendor, plug n play and you ae good to go.

     

    Money for them is the more data they will have access to like sleeping habbit and so on.

  2. Yep you read that right. Apple is working together with other tech giants to create a universal Standard.

    Google, Amazon and Apple (plus others) have created Connected Home Over IP, a new working group managed by the Zigbee Alliance, which aims to develop a new, open smart home connectivity standard based on Internet Protocol (IP). For consumers, this will mean that stuff just works together, but it'll be a boon for developers, too, as a universal standard streamlines product development and reduces costs by giving them a blueprint for their products.

     

    The other Zigbee Alliance board member companies include IKEA, Samsung SmartThings and Signify (the new name for Philips Lighting). They're all on board to help develop the "royalty-free connectivity standard."

     

    Personally I like this new direction Apple is going of give customer what they are asking for. First with iPad, then MacBook Pro 16 and now this.

    Yeah it was first thought off a century ago along with liquid rockets and others. There is a reason it was left on the drawing board.

    100 yrs ago there wasn't enough technology to implement it.

    Neural Networks and other machine learning algorithms were invented 20 yrs ago, only implemented until recent years because computers then weren't powerful enough to handle the load

  4. Few Months ago a bought an alienware 15(early 2015)(specs given Below). Since I bought in winters I didn't face any issues until now. Since I live in India and with summers comming(it really gets hot here,42C) I was considering buying an Cooling Pad for my laptop.

    That was backgroung story Now here is the question.

    Which Cooling pad 

    1. Single 200mm fan

    2. Dual 140mm fan

    3. Quad 100mm fan

    Which will provide better cooling(Given approx same quality).

    Also Will dual 140mm make more noise or single 200mm??

     

    Following LTT youtube since mid 2012(not forums) and he hasn't made a video about it any help would be appreciated.
