This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's always a risk balance.
Spending effort and money to upgrade a system just so you can say it's new makes no sense.
Physical security systems still use single-pair lines for door switches because it just works. There's no reason to make those things networked just because you can (and companies are trying).
